[RL] Man, you can certainly tell when people you're talking to have never worked retail.

Me: Yeah, I'm going to be off next week.
Them: Oh, lovely. Are you going anywhere special?

Me: Yep. To bed, mostly.

Them: ???

"Are you going anywhere on your birthday?" "No, I literally took the time off so I can sleep in"

Yeah. It's occasionally like that for me.

I'm still very, very annoyed that I'm going to be working my birthday weekend, but I'll take off the weekend after.

I schedule my birthday off months in advance just to make sure I have it

Oh, my boss wouldn't make me work on my birthday. And the audit actually JUST misses my birthday.
