While I'm not going AWOL, I have to agree that this time of year sucks to work in a grocery store. I'm not talking about the customers I have to deal with regardless of the season, now there is just a few more.
It's because the blasted bell ringers.
I understand it's for a good casue so I don't say much and just kind of accept the month long torture of the migraine inducing bell, but it's when the bell ringers take it a step further like when before they start I swear they have to have taken speed, because at the pitch and noise the damn bell is ringing they're goal must be to make everyone hear ringing in a 10 mile radius, but even worse then these are the singing bell ringers.
I'm not sure singing bell ringers is common, but my grocery store has one. He sings the same four christmas carols non stop while he's there at varying pitches. "Silent Night", "He's Making a List", "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer", and one other I can't remember the name of at the moment.
What's worse is he only knows about a quarter of the words and to top it all of he sings worse then the She Bang guy from American Idol.
I'm not sure I'll survive until the end of the year with the little sanity I have left.
