Retail Workers Brace for Holiday Season Amidst Rising Customer Demands
As the holiday season approaches, retail workers across the United States are preparing for an influx of shoppers, which is often accompanied by increased stress and demanding customer interactions. According to etiquette experts, the holiday shopping environment can become a pressure cooker, leading to a decline in customer manners. Retailers typically hire additional seasonal workers to manage the surge in shoppers, but this year, economic uncertainties may lead to fewer hires. This situation could exacerbate the stress on existing staff, who already face long hours and challenging conditions. Experts suggest that customers should plan their shopping trips, manage expectations, and treat retail workers with empathy and respect.
