hey ceetee,

stick to white spot, especially during this time of yr...xmas it probably THE busiest time of the year for malls. hostessing is much better than having to deal with a customer on xmas eve at 5 mins. to closing, plus everyone's grumpy =) and plus EVERYBODY works on boxing day...so...if you like to shop, you can't get the day off in retail. oh, and remember the extended hours for the mall, metro's open til 11pm for a good 2 wks, i think in dec. yuck!!! i'd rather be at home with my family after 7pm during the holidays. i hope this helps make your decision.

ps. the only tip you'll get in retail is someone screaming down your throat for not having something in their size...lol.
