Management's reaction to the sales volume and margin last Black Friday was to go into orgasmic spasms of joy. It's the biggest sales event of the year--we prep for it beforehand, scheduling everyone to work, making sure every register is functional, manning all the spare registers, having extended hours for the sale...
It's the test of fire for anyone working retail. If you can survive Black Friday, you've got what it takes. It's retail's "Crossing the Line" ceremony, so to speak.
And, as I said, management loves those sales figures. They are huge compared to our normal weekday sales.
