Tips for maintaining sanity while shopping
Holiday shopping can turn even the most patient person into a frothing ragaholic. Post your sanity saving tips, here's mine:
To avoid wasting time at the till,
greet the cashier with a cheerful hello, quickly followed by "NO upselling, no credit cards thank you!"
These poor schmucks HAVE to upsell/offer cards to evert customer as per head office, not only did you save time, you gave them an out too!

I pop a Valium or a Xanax. Simple, yet effective.

Having some idea of what you'd like to purchase is always helpful, then you're not wandering aimlessly losing your mind.

Holy eff, remember that biotch looking for a swimcap? She asks me where else she can try looking, then gets SERIOUSLY pissed that I mentioned a placed she'd tried (but never told me) already?

Going in with crazy eye makes everyone give you a wide berth, and makes the whole experience more pleasurable.

I find a stiff shot of ice-cold vodka from the freezer takes the edge off shopping.

 Yep, and arguing with one's self will also keep them away. This works year round, not just for the holidays!

I can't drink and shop. I lose all sense of reason. I would end up buying my mom a 20 inch dildo and put "I saw this and thought of you" on the card.

One stiff belt just loosens things up a little. I get confused when I smoke and go shopping -- or do much of anything. 
I'm gonna go shopping next week and I plan to: drink, argue with myself, glare at everyone with a manic look in my eyes and wear some disgusting perfume so that everyone will stay out of my way and/or deal with me quickly!
