Hate when people try to hit you with the “…well, didn’t you go to school?”
Yeah. I did go to school. I do have a degree. While retail is considered a basic job, believe it or not, a lot of us have higher education. 😒

the only thing keeping me sane at work while i have to deal with the messes people leave me in fitting rooms, is the headcanon i have where buck makes sure to clean up everything he brings in and puts his unwanted stuff away himself, and might even help clean up pre-existing messes left by others to help the overworked staff.
if i didn’t have that headcanon i probably have gone mental by now. how one person could make such a huge mess in the fitting room is beyond me.

happy labor day to all the customer service reps who have to take phone calls Like This ☝️
based on true stories from my adult store days, check out ᴡʜᴀᴛ’ꜱ ʏᴏᴜʀ ᴠɪʙᴇ? for more niche but nevertheless harrowing retail experiences
(plus! cutesy romance, demi/bi leads, millennial existential crises, music recs, and comically large beverages as a love language)
cover by @redbelles—open for commissions!

a customer just threatened to hit me and I nearly said “careful I might like it” and I do not think it would’ve gone over well for me-

PSA
As someone who works in retail (at the tills in specific), I believe there should be such a thing as "supermarket etiquette" that everyone should follow.
I am BEGGING you, PLEASE put a divider in between your shopping and the shopping of the person behind you. I cannot count how many times I have scanned someone else's shopping and apologised for it when in reality it's cause the customers haven't put dividers down. No, it doesn't matter that your shopping is a distance away from the customer I'm currently serving, put a divider between them ya lazy bastard.
Please don't hold your discount card in my face just milliseconds after I served the customer in front of you. Yes, I will scan your discount card but PLEASE BE PATIENT !
For the love of all things that are holy, PLEASE don't ask a cashier if it's their first day if they seem flustered or don't know how to do something. You may mean well but it's really fucking rude and disrespectful, and recently it's been driving me up the walls. No, I've been working here for four months. If it was my first day I would warn you beforehand. Seriously who raised you to think that's appropriate to say to someone?
And I may be being a bit nitpicky here but if a cashier is about to go on their break/clock out for the day, please please please go to a different till, they will serve you.
I might do a part 2 if I think of any more

Not sure how much Josh Groban music it takes to fix your mood after walking into work to find that someone drew with lipstick on the wall and you have to clean it, but so far the answer is more than one song

Bro it's fucking DRAINING to work retail during Christmas. If I'm not on a register guests complain that the line is too long and if I'm ON a register they complain about the store looking messy. BROTHER WHAT DO YOU WANT 😭😭😭

“I can help the next guest over here.”
*blank stare*
“Good morning! I can help you over here.”
*blank stare*
“Hi! Good morning!”
“Are you open?”
Coworker under their breath: yeah it’s almost like they’ve told you that 5 f*cking times now but you don’t f*cking listen

People who never worked in retail or grocery job have no right to say anything cause they don’t know what really goes on behind the scenes or the work politics and bullshit that goes on day to day. The things or people we have to deal with. You dont know what you dont know
