The last two weeks before Christmas and I'm not looking forward to working. Ever since the Corona rules have been tightened again it's become a lot more stressful in the store. Especially on Saturdays, when we're constantly having to tell people not to park their bikes in front of the store (to keep space for waiting lines), ask people to wait outside since the maximum number of customers is reached, have discussions about people keeping their distance from each other and asking people to wear their face mask (properly).
Customers get angry a lot easier. Last Saturday I was shouted at four times; for not selling toilet seats, for asking a customer to move their bike across the street, for not doing repairs on Saturday afternoon (whilst there is a line of people waiting outside) and for not speaking Russian (her English was perfect, but after telling me we should speak Russian she refused to speak English). At the end of the day I feel drained and empty and the biggest nag ever.
Tonight is the next press conference and it's expected the government will announce the current rules will stay in place until at least into January. It's also expected schools will close a week earlier for the Christmas holidays (so this Friday).
