This is Polish traditional male costume, kontusz and żupan, 1770. Costumes in this period had very strong Turkish influences.

We quite often will unlock a few minutes early if there are people waiting at the door and we have the registers counted and closed, but that wasn’t the case this time. A man phoned, asked our hours, and then was audibly upset because we hadn’t opened early due to the holiday season and wouldn’t be open for another 20 minutes. Then he asked if I knew the hours at the next closest branch of our chain, which is in a mall a 30 minute drive away from our store. I don’t know their hours — if they even have holiday ones — because I don’t work there. But frankly, even if he lives less than 20 minutes away from our store it’d take him most of that time to get to the other store, too, so it really didn’t matter if they were already open or not because he really wouldn’t be getting served any faster. I guess some people lose their mathematics skills due to holiday stress.](http://25.media.tumblr.com/e605ce846b13cadc190ee8485ff6454d/tumblr_mfgxqwlEiD1qm3qzeo1_400.jpg)

I’m working at my old store in my hometown between college semesters. Here, we have a lot of Spanish-speaking customers who speak limited English. I’m not 100% fluent, nor a native speaker, but I speak enough Spanish to be able to help them out and even carry on a conversation. In fact, I’m minoring in Spanish, and I thoroughly enjoy speaking it! People often tell me that I speak very well. This often leads to the customer asking where I’m from.
I’m American-born and raised. I don’t have any Latino/Hispanic roots anywhere in my family tree. The only language I know completely fluently is English.
I was working a bagging shift and helping a woman out to her car, and she asked me where I’m from. I told her I’m from here (Florida). She then asked me again, and I gave her the same response. She then asked, “NO! Where were you born?” I told her the same. I was born and raised in Florida. She got really frustrated, and asked me again. Then she asked me if I’m from Puerto Rico. And then she asked me in English. That was pretty fun.](http://25.media.tumblr.com/930c286572f371cc00f2b7891741a79d/tumblr_mff06apQkG1qm3qzeo1_400.jpg)

The kids clothing store where I work is part of a larger, international-ish chain. Older stores have a music system where they are sent new CDs/playlists every month, and newer stores (AKA me) have a music system which is directly linked to a third party who organises the playlists for each month.
Now, normally our system is cooler, because it means our playlists are updated faster and more often (they add in new songs every week or so, delete old ones, etc.), and we aren’t stuck listening to the same 13-track CD all day.
HOWEVER. The holiday season is often the opposite. Last year, they forgot to update the external playlist with holiday-themed songs, so the newer stores got to listen to regular music all Decemeber - no one from HO picked up on it, and no one in the stores was insane enough to actually tell them and risk being blasted with holiday music. This year, they actually did update the playlist, and unlike the usual playlist we have going all year, this one REPEATS ITSELF.
Normally our playlist in the newer stores is 24 hour - we never hear the same song twice. Now, for some unknown reason, they’ve decided to repeat the playlist every three hours or so - and 80% of it is Christmas music. With no variety. It is basically the same three songs (Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree, Walkin’ In A Winter Wonderland, and Silent Night) sung by different artists. There are literally seven different renditions of each song in this freaking playlist.
It is taking all of my self control not to accidentally break our sound system and request a CD player until it can be fixed.](http://25.media.tumblr.com/d3ae25369348217b52bb5b763b1c6b79/tumblr_mf6cf8LqEi1qm3qzeo1_400.jpg)

….It’s a week ‘till Christmas. Most of our suppliers aren’t even accepting new orders until after Christmas.
