I want to be surprised, but I’m not.

I worked at a store in a mall, at the far end, as a cashier. This couple came in with two very loaded carts. We didn’t have those cars in this store, which was the first sign something was off. They put more stuff in the carts and come up to my register to pay for things. Error codes kept coming up. I called the manager over to help because this couple was getting loud. They had items from half the shops in the mall! I dunno how tf they didn’t set off every alarm, which still has me baffled. The manager had this look on his face that translates to “fuck, not this shit again”. Apparently, this had happened before. With this same couple. They thought the mall policy would change? I dunno. What I do know is they’re the reason signs had to be put up at every store stating you have to pay for things from that shop in that shop.

We will not discuss how many times I’ve had to say “the taco twelve pack has twelve tacos” and then walk people through how many tacos, exactly, that is.

The person that asked "how are you triple majoring w/a retail job (basically)" MIGHT have meant (idk but I hope so) HOW the actual fuck do you manage that? I'm abt to go into college and major in sci and edu but DAMN 3 majors and a frustrating job?!

No I’ve been getting shit all day about how I commented on a post and someone mistook it as me hating poor retail workers and I was like “okay how tho?? I am a poor retail worker???” And then people were like “right yeah no you’re triple majoring you MUST be rich and hate poor people” and so that’s where that came from

Tbh all of these fake stories going around and they’re so obvious but if any of them said “so I work in retail” id be “okay yeah” because the weirdest shit goes down when you work retail. It could say “so I work in retail and today Jesus came in and turned all our water bottles into wine” and I’d be like “shit that’s wild what’d your manager do”

on weeks where i get heavily scheduled i start to notice myself using Retail Voice (tm) in like casual conversation with regular people who aren't customers. i don't remember exactly what i said but it was very like overpolite and taking blame on myself for no reason. i hate how retail fucks with ur brain like that

i use retail voice on ppl i pass like i’m supposed to say hi to all the customers i walk by and sometimes i’ll forget and almost be like ‘hi :))))))’ to random people while im off shift

Totally agree with your post about working in retail. I've found that working at places with younger crowds (re: less boomers) is somewhat better. I think our generation is more understanding and empathetic of retail workers for the most part, and certainly less demanding. Obviously there are exceptions. What do you think?

it’s always fuckin boomers like I have never been treated like shit by someone under the age of 30 

Mainly because boomers were the last ones that can just waltz out and get a good factory job and they never had to deal with the humiliation of working retail and being shat on for simple mistakes and they feel like retail should be ran like a factory, quick and efficient and no mistakes. They cant sympathize with us. They don’t understand what it feels like being treated like a subhuman
