I hate when people tell me what the weather is outside.

I have seven 12-foot windows behind me.
SEVEN.
RIGHT BEHIND ME.

No, you’re absolutely right, I had no idea it was raining.

Corporate logic:

We’re giving you a half hour less to do you stuff in the mornings
Because the managers are taking over one of your tasks
But they’re too lazy to actually do it
So really…

You just have to do all your stuff in half the time now.

That awkward moment when your manager has an extremely obvious hickey and is wearing her hair up to flaunt it.

People who don’t understand, or argue, when you tell them they need to swipe their card again.

retailwarriors: fuckyeahretailrobin: sigh i get this question every few months I got asked the other day if we sold Levis…sorry dude we aren’t that convenient. I regularly get asked  for all types of stationery…  Yes, we’re a bookstore. But there’s an office supply store LITERALLY next door.  And then someone also asked me for Levi’s the other day. Maybe someone is trolling us.

Retail is Frustrating: Note To Customers Everywhere

thefrustratingworldofretail:

If your item does not have a barcode for me to scan or any other way of me entering it into the system, please do not get angry when I have to page someone for an item number.

Also, please don’t tell me any of the following:

1. “Guess it’s free today!” Har har. No.

2. “It was $7.99.” That’s wonderful for you. You can actually read tags. Here’s your medal. Unfortunately, entering “random thing” at $7.99 isn’t how our POS works.

3. *heavy sigh* “You know what, forget it…I don’t have time for this.” I am sorry madam, that you have to wait for me to do my job. Let’s not forget, YOU are the one who picked up the one with no price tag, came to my store when YOU were on a tight schedule…YOU are the one with no patience? Seriously?

To the woman lecturing about the need to HOLD books and the abomination of the e-reader while buying two audiobooks:

SERIOUSLY?

thestonecuttersguild asked: Do you work here? No sir, I just happen to be wearing the uniform of the store, whilst stocking heavy items on a top shelf, on a ladder, in my own personal time. It's a little hobby of mine.

Why do so many people steal magnets?

I mean, seriously. 

Do they know something I don’t know? 

Are they magical?

“Hey there baby girl,” is not an acceptable opening to a conversation.

And “Peace of god be with you,” is not an acceptable way to close one.
