My Retail Confessions

[myretailconfessions]

My managers are so rude, sarcastic, hypocritical, and condescending. It makes me stressed out during every shift I work. I feel so burnt out too. I just have to stick out this job until this fall when I go on my study abroad!

Managers are a lot like cops.  They enforce the rules, but don’t follow them themselves.

[myretailconfessions]

Don’t you hate...

When your managers are hypocrites.  

When your managers don't let you eat, but they eat in the office.

When your managers tell you to smile and be positive, but they are being rude to you.

When your managers stand around, doing nothing, and stare at people struggling, and then yell at you for not helping. 

When your managers use their phones to check Facebook, but fire you for using your phone.

Anyone else want to add anything?

Fun?

I hate when someone asks me, “are you ready to have fun tonight?!” 

How in the hell is being tired, sweaty, covered in grease, being yelled/bitched at by awful customers, and hardly making any money FUN?

When I said the bar top  is open seating, I meant the fucking bar! Not the tables near the bar.  OMG.

[myretailconfessions]

OMFG

Say THANK YOU when I give you your food.  

I'm not just some automatic floating hand that drops off your food.  I am a person with feelings.  That is all.  Thank you.

I hate when it's extremely busy and an annoying customer tells me, "It's busy today!" and I say, "I know :/" and then they say, "But that's good. It's good for business." And I'm just thinking, "Fuck business. I could care less. I get paid the same amount whether it's slow or busy."

[myretailconfessions]

Omg seriously!

When I ask how many are in your party it's not because I was just curious, like I asked for my own amusement. I ask because I need to know before I seat you. When I said, "How many? 2?" That wasn't your queue to go seat yourselves at a random table. Omg!

An Australian customer asked me at work, "when do you knock off?" I thought that meant something dirty, but actually it meant when do I leave work. Lol

Working Hard

aka standing around, being lazy, and gossiping with the other hostess all night.

[myretailconfessions]

It always annoys me when I say hi/bye/thank you and the customer just looks at me and doesn't say anything! I'm not a robot or a statue!

Retail Robin is my new favorite meme you guys. I’ve sadly experienced ALL of these working retail. What about you guys? I HATE RETAIL.

I have two doubles in a row this weekend. Fml

[myhostingconfessions]

If I am on a register, clearly in the middle of ringing up customers, do not come up to me and ask me where shit is in the store. Go find someone walking around the sales floor.

[myretailconfessions]

If I hold my breath, maybe they won't see me.

[myretailconfessions]

Omg. Don't ask me if you can use my discount.
