40+ year old men who seriously believe the young girls working at stores and restaurants are actually flirting with them just because the girls smile and are friendly are the most disgusting and terrifying things on this planet.

If the cashier hasn’t acknowledged you, it’s not your fucking turn yet. Idc if no one is talking or the previous customer left the counter. There is a reason we haven’t turned toward you, asked how we can help you, or whatever else. Have some fucking patience.

Yes, this also applies to “I just have a question!”

“I get it, I used to work in retail…”

Said the woman who made a $431 online return in store, knowing it hurts our store’s numbers (and it CRUSHED us), and when asked if by chance she received the shipping label to send it back for free said, “yeah, but I don’t want to return it like that.”

Said the woman who grabbed 9 swimsuits, had her daughter slip them on in the corner, and proceeded to leave 8 of them barely hanging onto their hanger or crumpled on the floor in a section it didn’t belong in. Bonus: in the process she ripped off the hygienic stickers off 3 and they had to be damaged.

Said the mom who let her kid suck on a pair of sunglasses and when asked if she was going to buy them got very mad because she didn’t want to buy them and didn’t understand what was wrong with letting her child put his mouth on merchandise she didn’t purchase.

So, really… DO you get it?

Today I worked self-check and at one point this baby was playing that game where babies just keeping dropping something on the ground so you’ll pick it up so finally I just sat down on the floor and kept handing the baby his baby wipe and the mom apologized and I just wanted to be like “Ma’am today my job is to stand here for eight hours and get yelled at by confused old people so ten minutes of sitting on the floor playing with your baby is honestly the highlight of my day”

Can we normalize the idea that, just like everyone has certain levels of physical labor they can’t perform, everyone also has certain levels of emotional labor they can’t perform? Like, yeah, when you work retail you should be considerate and friendly to all customers, but not everyone can have an energetic mood for 8 hours in a row. That guy that works at the register who’s always got an ear-to-ear smile and has long conversations with every customer about any topic under the sun is not the standard by which all employees’ friendliness should be compared, he’s the equivalent of the guy that works out every day that moves huge items like they’re nothing. Yeah, Joe the unloader can lift 50-pound boxes onto pallets for 8 hours straight, but I can’t. Yeah, Dan the cashier can smile and laugh and be energetic for 8 hours straight, but I can’t. Just like the former doesn’t mean I’m lazy, the latter doesn’t mean I’m rude.

I had so much fun playing PoGO at the park this evening, the only other person there was this 7-year-old kid (his grandma was watching from the car bc it’s freezing today) and he asked if I was playing pokemon and I said, “Yes I am!” and we started playing together (after I checked in with grandma) and I helped him catch his first Pikachu.  He caught his but mine ran away and I was like, “Wow, you’re so good at this!  You’re going to catch up to me in NO TIME!  Great job!”  He was so psyched, it was adorable.  I love kids, they’re the best to play with.
