• Retail Life episode 17

              There’s one type of customer I hate above all others. The scammer. These people feel so entitled that they find ways to get things for free, steal money, or to trick you into giving them more than what you’re supposed to in change. I have zero patience for these people and I don’t care…

  • Get Caught Stealing

    To go along with Thursday’s post, here’s some ridiculousness for your viewing pleasure.

  • Retail Life Episode #16

                    Some people have a lot of nerve. They think they can get away with anything. They have probably gotten away with a lot of stuff when no one was paying attention. They get gutsy. They get brave. They get stupid. They get caught.                 Example number one; Older man walks into the store. I’m…

  • Customer is Always Wrong

    Don’t get mad when you’re the one breaking the rules. Excuse me while I roll my eyes into the back of my head.

                    Sometimes I just don’t know how people rationalize their behavior. I thought we were supposed to stop throwing tantrums when we were children. And yet, working in retail, I’ve seen grown adults throw a fit. I’ve seen senior citizens basically stomp their feet because they didn’t get their way. I just don’t get it.…

                    I went back to work last week and it’s been rough. I really took for granted how accustomed to it I was. After being at home for ten weeks and spending most of that time sitting on the couch or at my desk, going back to standing and walking all day was hard. Aside…

    Bodily Functions                 Everyone poops. We all know this, even if we don’t like to think about it. Sometimes the need hits you in public. Sometimes the need strikes you…when you’re walking down an aisle of a store. And sometimes…you can’t wait another second.                 One day I was in my office doing paperwork. My…

  • Retail Life Episode 10

            People                 Why is it that people tend to think that the person behind the register is there to just be a verbal punching bag? What makes them think it’s okay to just say whatever they want? No matter how hurtful or rude? Did I miss the memo declaring us not real people? I…

  • Retail Life Episode 9

    “Is this all you have left?” Every last minute shopper on any holiday So the holiday season has come and past and my favorite question to be asked will be dropped for awhile. (Until Vday and Easter come around, then we just start the vicious cycle all over again.)  I understand that not everyone can…

    Cash register pet peeves. If you’ve ever been any kind of cashier, you can likely relate to most of these.   -“Do you take checks?’ Yup, we sure do, but you don’t have to fill it out. But of course they’re going to fill it out because it’s easier to keep a record of. Sure.…
