#i hate retail actually ://///

[your-unfriendlyghost]

ohhh god I think my brain’s broken or somethin cos at the sight of all the goddamn 9hr shift Saturdays and 4.5hr shift Sundays in my near future I legit bawled. Like I don’t DO that ok that is WEIRD for me. I miss having weekends. I should be BEING A TEENAGER ON SATURDAYS not standing in a small space for NINE HOURS

I genuinely think this is gonna be what makes me lose it

i said eiffel missed out on becoming a radio personality, and that's true, but he's equally missing his vocational calling of "bored security guard in a stained tank top who is ignoring a dozen monitors to look at dirty magazines instead."

being autistic while working retail is awful. my managers give vague instructions and expect me to fully comprehend what they’re wanting. customers making jokes that i don’t realize are jokes. being constantly overwhelmed by fluorescent lighting and all of the surrounding smells. having to wear jeans to work. little to no accessories. no headphones. retail is autistic hell.

“just quit!” great okay so i need to afford pain medication, mobility aids, food, hygiene products. so i cannot ‘just quit’. maybe we should “just make jobs accessible!”

tbh i’d kill myself at work in front of people but customers are so stupid they probably wouldn’t even notice and step around my dead body to get to the shelf they want

i can’t get over how much i genuinely despise the christmas period it is so much unnecessary stress for everyone regardless whether or not you celebrate it it is a mass forced time of year that has well passed beyond “making time to see loved ones and giving gifts for the sake of giving” it is about CONSUMPTION WITH A DEADLINE what a fucking nightmare

Why does every single career involving writing hinge on NETWORKING AND BASICALLY BEING AN INFLUENCER AAARRRRGGGGHHHHHH

nessa i need to know... what's the worst type of doc martens customer

all of them 😂

but for real, its usually the instagram/tiktok-y white girls who think they know everything and do NOT listen to a word you say when you tell them not to size down theyre going to regret it and then they do and they wear their shoes out of the stoee and then theyre back a week later saying uhm they dont fit can i return them and then we tell them no you cant return them because like we told you last week that if you wear them out of the store theyre final sale

them and the people who order online and try to return their order to the store even though there are several places on the website and on their packaging slip and receipts that say they cannot be returned to the store and then they get pissy with us and say well it never said that and then we highlight it for them on their packaging slip that is in their hand

OH!

ALSO they weren't really customers cause they weren't there for themselves but the boyfriends that would come in with some girls who wanted docs and would be really fucking weird about the girls wanting platform shoes saying no dont get them cause you don't look dainty and feminine anymore. I wanted to kill those people so bad and would always have my coworkers loop around to those girl and tell them how good they looked in the platforms and that they should get them

[amoripomoea]

[maidcafe]

[proserpine-in-phases]

I hate how every job says they're looking for a person like this because I am none of those things? Where are the jobs willing to pay top dollar for an unmotivated unprofessional cold unpersonable non starter who is disorganized and pays very little attention to detail?

working at a tutoring centre has made me realise i could never be a teacher

Things my customers have cussed at me about today with the fury of belligerent nobility:

- “I saw your truck backing into the back of the store but I simply HAD to park so instead of waiting for the truck to finish backing in properly I parked in the back and now the truck has blocked me in and don’t you understand this is YOUR problem and not my problem! I have ice cream in the car and my kids are at home!”

- “half of the [your company] stores in town are remodeling and this is pissing me off because I have to go out of my way to your store. No I won’t go to a different store. They’re crooks.” (Our company is absolutely sadistically crooked in ways Wal-Mart couldn’t dream of but go off.)

-“this better ring up the same way it does in the store across town.”

- [doesn’t bag a big item because were told not to] “uh you better put that in a bag. I’m not carrying that.” (You could have just said “please put that in a bag”)

-[multiple people yelling about having to be carded]
