Retail is basically dead on weekdays compared to weekends. Make an effort to go before/after work.

Retail is basically dead on weekdays compared to weekends. Make an effort to go before/after work.

Especially during the holiday season, retail workers are swamped even when staffed very well. If you want good customer service, don't shop on weekends. Friday counts as a weekend for retail so friday-sun the back is a big mess because of new holiday trainees and finding stuff can be impossible. Stuff will end up sold out more often and restocked less often on the weekends as well. It's a better experience for customers and employees if you can manage to get to the store on a weekday.
