I have worked at a retail establishment at Colony Plaza. During the winter it is amazing there are not many more screaming outbursts by employees at the various stores. Having a really bad day during the "season" is normal when you work in The Villages. Where I worked it was amazing how the customers did not understand the concept of how to use the dressing room. Common sense and courtesy says you try on the clothes you have chosen and then neatly hang those you do not wish to purchase back on the hanger and place on the return rack outside of the dressing room. It's the polite thing to do to leave the dressing room clean for the next occupant. But come January it is amazing how so many women think the proper thing to do is leave the garment inside out in a heap on the chair which then overflows to the floor.
During the summer our customers are friendly and polite and a pleasure to deal with. But come fall and winter the customers are often rude and obnoxious and treat the clerks like dirt under their feet. Of course we rarely saw our regular summer customers because they know better than to go shopping during the "season".
I never actually had a screaming outburst but there were times I wanted to. It's not fun having a job in The Villages. I no longer do and life is much better.
