@my followers:

I just wanna thank y’all for being here, without you this blog would just be me hurling salty text posts into the void of the internet.

Working in retail / customer service is good life experience and by ‘experience’ I mean ‘losing bits of your soul’ but in return, think of all the shit we have managed to deal with. Plus the occasional lovely customers. Plus some other positive shit I’m too tired to think of rn.

And from the most genuine bit of my personality, hope y’all find the good in your day, don’t let the bullshit get you down, treat people nice.

Courses for work be like

- no extravagant makeup

- no bling

- tidy uniform

- be hygienic

- don’t think about death on the job because the customers will be infected with your negativity, you will repel them and they will never come back and the world will implode and there will be darkness forever more, that’s what happens when you do bad business

- remember to smile
