What are you doing for Toys'R'Us?
Christmas is actually a really fun time to work retail. I threw freight at Target a few Christmases ago and actually enjoyed it (for what it was). Customers generally seemed to be in a good mood. One of the best mornings was when we opened early so that the local sheriff's department could come in and take needy kids around to pick out an outfit, a pair of shoes, and a few special toys, as well as one thing a parent said they needed. Those kids were just delighted to be there, and the deputies were all excited to help these kids.
Personally I think I'd find stocking toys depressing. That was always my least favorite department in Target to work, and I was glad when I got bumped to Health and Beauty. Why? Little Mommy doll sets drive me nuts. The entire toy section is a victim of gender stereotyping.
Good luck with your new job!
