I dont want to sound racist...
I will admit that your broken English will easily be better than my broken Polish.
But...
When the product has a picture of a cat on the box,
Why would you ever feel like you need to ask "is this for a dog?"

When a customer tells you that they're prediabetic "despite them being a vegan "
Tumblr media
But then they tell you that it "should've been you" because you're overweight and "obviously eat meat and bread"

For everyone working retail this holiday season.
I worked retail for years, and yes, all the shit in the Superstore compilation actually happens. And worse. And employees are just supposed to grin and bear it.
If you're a customer, please be patient and kind to all employees, from the perfume counter person to the person hauling carts. They're living a Hell you can't imagine unless you've been there.

It’s funny sometimes when an older customer tries to like scam the store or steal shit by yelling at the cashier and demanding to see the manager, calling me stupid or that I don’t know what I’m doing etc etc. Then once my Supervisor comes up, sees what they’re trying to do they just shut it down immediately and the customer either storms out or immediately just shrinks back in embarrassment

Strange or foreign currency is my bread and butter at work. I love unusual currency (ie. 2$ bills, giant 1$ coins, 50¢ coins, Krons, Rubles, ect). It adds to the liminal space feeling of everything

All these people posting how "everyone should spend a couple of years working retail/doing manual labor/developing a craft/etc." should have to spend a couple of years pushing the boundaries of human longevity so that we actually have the time for such things

the fact that the words "time theft" even exist together the way they do and apply to some cooperate bullshit about ... stealing time from them (??????) and not like, time traveling bandits who literally steal things through time via time travel, makes me feel feral we deserve a better timeline we deserve to be time bandits

Older generations going, “The younger generations say they want jobs, but all these places are constantly hiring and they aren’t applying to work at them, so they’re really just lazy.”
Meanwhile everyone millennial age and younger going, “The phrase ‘constantly hiring’ is almost always a red flag that means they can’t keep employees, meaning it’s not a good place to work and the pay is probably crap.”
Don’t even get me started on, “We offer flexible hours,” that’s just code for, “You get your schedule two weeks ahead of time, the times you work and the number of hours you get are assigned at the computer’s whim, and we expect you to notify us of any days you won’t be available to work at least a month ahead of time.” -_-***

“The customer is always right.” Isn’t the whole statement it’s actually “the customer is always right in matters of taste.” Which means that if they want to buy the ugliest pair of pants ever they are allowed to. But they have no right to dictate how the store should run smh
