Something to celebrate
If you go out Christmas shopping Friday, make it a point to be kind to the person helping you at the store.
Dec. 10 is National Salesperson Day, meant to recognize the hard, and sometimes thankless, work done by those who give customers a hand while they shop.
Established in 2000, the day was originally celebrated in March. In 2010, the day was moved to December – an appropriate shift given the hustle and bustle of the holiday season.
To give salespeople a hand during this busy time, consider your actions while you’re shopping. Don’t leave items you no longer want in the wrong place, or rifle through a rack of clothing and leave it in disarray.
And in recognition of the hard work that salespeople do, why not make it a point to say “thank you,” or express appreciation for their work on social media?
Small gestures of kindness can make a world of difference.
