News From My Old Job

I found out this weekend that the store I used to work for is being closed down. I can't say I'm surprised, as the company has been struggling for the past several years. Today was the last full day of business. Tomorrow the merchandise gets packed up and returned to the warehouse. I'm glad me and my wife were able to get out before all of this happened. I feel bad for those employees who are left in the lurch, though. I hope they are able to find new jobs as quickly as possible.

P.S. I saw this at Retail Sucks and thought it might provide a chuckle or two, the author is KittyPalooza:
