Thankfully I don't work in retail anymore, but I feel your pain. Ever since I worked at IKEA and the Dome I am completely immune to crowds. I know most retail stores have a couple days of the year when they are really busy, but they fail in comparison to IKEA. On busy Saturdays we would get 40,000 people walk through the store. I got very good at walking through the crowds looking like I wasn't able to help people. Otherwise it would take me way to long to get to my department.
