Damn.
Things are pretty bad this year as far as sales go.
No surprise, huh?
But things are pretty bad for everyone this year and
I think that things are going to get worse before they get better.
So, this could very well be my last Christmas in retail.
I don't know how I ended up in retail anyway.
I hate to shop. I used to be miserable when I would have to shop, especially if I was shopping with a girlfriend / wife/ mother.
Now I see these miserable bastards come into the Open Mind and shoot me dirty looks.
Pretty funny, huh?
I think the Open Mind has brought a lot of light into people's lives, and that has always been, I truly believe, the reason for the store's existence.
But, it's always been rocky, businesswise at the Open Mind, and it all goes back to when we first bought the store.
We were taken.
Yes, hard to believe but when it comes to business, you can't even trust the owner of a spiritual bookstore. It just proves my point that there is only one true god in the US.
Money.
Look at all 'The Secret' bullshit. It was all about getting money and the basic concept of the movie and the book was ripped off from a couple of former Amway salespeople.
Selfish navel gazing gurus with charge cards.
Oh well, nobody reads this anyway.
