• Retail Rant Time

    I have another fun story about a customer today. And she probably wouldn’t have bothered me so much if she didn’t have that ‘I’m so much better than you’ attitude. She really acted like she was doing us a favor by shopping in our store. Like we should all bow down and let her do…

  • Retail Rant Time

    Had an interesting customer interaction recently and I can’t stop thinking about it. I’m still so confused about where I went wrong. Maybe you can enlighten me. I was outside unlocking the ice when an old man gets out of his car. He grabs a shopping cart, so I waited to hold the door open…

  • Why Did She Think I Was Lying? A Retail Rant

    I have been making an effort to not let customers get under my skin. But sometimes it’s just unavoidable. We’ll start off slow with someone who wouldn’t accept responsibility for her card getting declined. She does the card the first time – I tel her it’s declined. She looks at her card and shakes her…

    What a day. A man comes in with a hammer. He is a man we have told repeatedly to stop coming in our store. He’s yelled at me, my assistant, and more than one cashier. He ‘doesn’t have his wallet,’ or ‘needs to run back to his house,’ or ‘let me go to the bank,’…

  • Retail Rant

    Oh my goodness. I swear there was something in the water the other day. The people in my city were drinking the stupid juice or something. Every other customer forgot their brain at home and it was somehow my fault. Let’s break it down. And then a few other little things like insisting her card…

  • A Retail Rant

    Today I have a short rant of the general intelligence of people who shop in my store. I don’t understand how some of these people operate through daily life without dying or getting severely injured. Like… where is the common sense? So, my coolers went down. Four doors of milk, two with eggs and lunchmeat…

  • Retail Rant

    So, I previously mentioned that I won’t be continuing my retail rants. But I changed my mind. Since I’ve shifted to posting my short stories on Medium, I’ve decided to keep my retail rants here on occasion. And it just so happens I had a situation perfect to write up for you. It’s a quick…

  • Retail Life 35

    A quick retail rant because I’m not feeling very creative today… One: if you misread a sign and I’m trying to explain to you what it’s supposed to be, don’t cuss me out and storm off. Sign reads “Buy 2 get 1 free, tanks, shorts and sandals.” You buy two pairs of PANTS and a…

  • Retail Rant

    It’s been awhile since I ranted about my day job, so I thought I’d give you a catch up entry on how much I still wish I didn’t work in retail. Just in case you started to think that it was all fun for me now. The general public hasn’t learned to behave any better.…

  • Retail Life 33

             I spend a lot of time in my retail rants talking about people that are rude, nasty, and inconsiderate. But once in a while there are some good people. And I feel like that means I should talk about them sometimes, too. Just to let you know that it’s not all bad. Just a…
