Good afternoon mall shoppers, umm, I mean blog readers. How y’all doing? can I help you find anything or ring you up… or something. I am so confused. I work at the mall. I had to go back the world of retail after over a year of unemployment, but this isn’t a sob story post about the state of the economy and shitty job market. This also isn’t an entry about the state of my achy old feet and rickety old back, I digress; this is a fun post. I thought I would tell you some of the funny mall observations I have been observerating… uh huh, observerating. tee hee…
This song is like tinsel and glitter... never goes away.
I work anywhere from 8 to 12 hour shifts. Within that span of time I hear the store’s music, which actually is not half bad. Not half good either. I have heard at least 20 different covers of the cassic Donny Hathaway Christmas song, “This Christmas.” As you may have seen on my blog, I am a huge fan of Donny Hathaway and his progeny. However, I low-key despise “This Christmas.” On paper it is a great song, catchy, and Yuletidey, but I have deveoped a relationship with this song similar to mine with the Eletric Slide Dance. I sing it just like you HAVE an obligation to do the Electric Slide at ratchet weddings and family reunions. It’s in the rules for retaining your Hood Pass™. Back to the incessant playing of this song at work. I have heard a version done by some of the following artists:
- Usher
- Gloria Estafan
- Beyonce and ‘nem (Destiny’s Child)
- Chris Brown
- Macy Gray … this is by far the worst version.
- Christina Aguilera … she overdid this one the way she oversings everything, it is painful to listen.
- Heavy Winter coat
- Furry hat
- NO SHOES!!!
they have got to bring this back....

I don’t like that shit. I bet the cow don’t like it either
I avoid the mall, BUT I do have a “mall” story.
As you know, I work the psych unit at a women’s prison. Most nights, early mornings I have a certain offender (who is blind) who comes out of her cell to “have meetings with me” and she’s also a “culinary witch” & she “zaps” me cheesecake & coffee. I wish I made this stuff up. One morning.. around 2 a.m. she came out w/ her shoes, uniform, winter coat, and hat on… She said that she was waiting for the bus, to go to the mall because it was her son’s birthday. LOL!
If this lady can wear shoes… the one you saw in the mall SHOULD.
& um, “my pleasure” is annoying as…!
Maybe she let that lady hold her shoes. -__- The things we witness, lol.
LMAO OMG, I didn’t know there was a Macy Gray version of This Christmas?! And I don’t wanna know… moving RIGHT along. Heck, moving left along too…
And that lady with no shoes, doe?! o_________________O
How do you decide to shop sans shoes? I need answers.
She was one of your cousins, lol
It’s nice to read such a good value on it, thanks for sharing.
I’d rather hear Macy Gray’s cover of anything over Hilary Duff’s cover of “Last Christmas” 4x in a day.
I hear that too, sigh….
omg! i have never seen anybody going to a mall without wearing shoes at all. that’s crazy. lol
I LIVE for March Madness, and it is the only television programming I watch “religiously”, although I do so online, unless I actually attend the ACC Tournament, which is an event all its own, as well as the Regionals and Final Four.
