As a teenager and young adult in the 80s, I remember saying at the time that the 80s wouldn't have a look that you would be able to easily recognize. How wrong I was!!!
I'm a child of the '80s, too... and probably would have found these folks divine at the time. Now... not so much!! LOL
As manager of a gift/home furnishings store in a small town in upstate New York, I can tell you how all these pictures relate to a nightmare Christmas moment.
Pic #1: "I bought this hood ornament as an early Christmas gift back in July, but it's too big. Can I exchange it for something smaller?"
Pic # 2: Every. Christmas. Employee. Party.
Pic # 3: "I wanted Tressy, the Doll with the Hair that Grows, but your stupid sales clerk sold me the Tressy wig that grows with you. Do you think my daughter has any idea what being a 32 month old teenager actually means?"
"I don't CARE if she likes it!!!"
Luckily I worked at Nordstrom back in the 80-90's so I know how to handle these kind of issues!
Happy Holidays, Poseidon!
