Signs Of A Healthy Mind... I Hope.

It's entirely possible that you're sick of retail:

- If you spend your free time imagining various ingenious deathtraps in which to ensnare your customer before they could reach you.

- When viewing the cluster of customers gathered around the counter, and approaching you from other parts of the shop, your are instantly reminded of that zombie movie you saw once.

- When not at work and actually going to a different shop, to buy things yourself, you find yourself trying to avoid the other customers in case they want to ask you something.

- When at another shop, the sound of their telephone ringing both annoys you and fills you with an overwhelming need to answer it, or at least throw it at something.

- When you start avoiding normal people in the street, because you fear they are going to want you to serve them.

- When you've trained your brain to ignore customers while they talk endlessly on, and only switch on when certain key words are spoken.

- If you posess the desire to give someone a serious electrical shock via the telephone they're using to bother you right now.

- If you wish you could install some device onto the door, so that customers would have to pass a basic intelligence test before they could gain entry, thus permanently barring 90% of your customers, who have the mental capabilities of a sock puppet. Or a piece of lumber.
