About My Horrible Trip To The Mall

Now I don't go to the mall often, usually just around Christmas, so when I do go I am always surprised at how packed it is. When I do get to the mall it takes forever to find a spot to park, and of course the spot I do find is a mile away from the door. So I quickly make my way to the doors, it's late December remember so it's freezing, and enter the mall. The game plan at this point is to get what I have to buy quickly and get out so I can get back to my comfy and warm home. I only have a few people to buy for and I know exactly what I need to buy so I am probably in the mall for only about an hour. I wish it was as easy as buying for my employees - as a boss, they're glad to get anything extra from me(!), and I always get them something practical - this year I got them branded usb flash drives for Christmas.
But the mall and shopping for family and friends? At the mall, the people in the stores ringing me up were very friendly, and surprisingly pretty cheerful, but during this time my toes are stepped on two separate times by very rude people and I am pushed once. I did get 3 Merry Christmases and a Happy Holidays during my travels through the mall. As I head back to my car I am almost hit by an old lady not watching where she was going. I get to my car and drive home as safely and quickly as I can. When I get back to my house and after I put away my purchases, I get myself settled in front of the TV and think to myself Thank goodness I don't have to do that for another year.
