When we're at the cash register, we expect the salespeople to greet
us, maybe comment on the sale price or compliment our purchase choices. That’s
especially true during the holiday season when the retail industry wants to ring
up every possible sale. So imagine my surprise when the cashier looked up midway through my check out and said, “You look like you’re in a bad mood.” Pardon
me?
Maybe she misinterpreted my expression to seeing her appear
from behind the crowed line of customers and rush up to the register,
forgetting to say anything until midway through my transaction. I’m sure she
felt stressed. Projection is real. In
any case, I wasn’t in a bad mood, even after she kept giving me several odd glances. I
probably should have asked if she felt well. I think my salesperson needed a
vacation day. At least the interaction wasn’t like this one:

I can’t confirm if the product mentioned will help your situation, but I do
know stress makes people more likely to say and do unusual things. Given the
hectic season, don’t overlook the importance of taking a break from all the
hubbub. When you take your important rest, how will you spend that special
time?
