The Rambles of I

Sometimes I make no sense, but most of the time this is the best time to talk to me.

Retail Lyf #1

So many "little things" piss me off to no end working in retail. Tonight, we discuss being addressed as "excuse me" by inconsiderate customers from across the store. No. Just NO. FUCK OFF. Sure, you don't know our names, name badge or not, and it must be REALLY difficult to walk that whole five metres over to us to ask a question... But do you really have to call out to us like we're dogs? That's just one way to make me super angry and not give you a whole 20% of my good service abilities. YOU DESERVE NOTHING. For real... DON'T BE A CUNT OK. If, on the off chance, you are polite enough to walk up to me to ask for help, then I will happily walk you to each individual item you are looking for.

It's. My. Job.

I'm tired. Today was so frustrating. I wanted to punch every second customer that I had to deal with. It's obvious that not many people realise how to deal appropriately with retail staff. I'm a nice person, and I like to avoid fighting with people a much as possible, but today I really felt snappy towards so many people. My issue with today was that people didn't seem to understand that when I'm asking a million annoying questions, it's only because I have to do to the fucking fact that it's my job. You need to realise that no matter how irrelevant it may seem to you, we ask questions because IT'S OUR FUCKING JOB. This is especially important in a pharmacy environment, especially because it your health and some potentially dangerous medications we are expected to deal with. This shit gets hectic as fuck. Today I even snapped a little at a guy who pretty much cut in on me as I asked him each question because I was somehow expected to know that he knew everything about the universe or whatever. I just got blunt with him and said it was required to legally ask those questions. That shit always shuts these fuckers down, and it makes me feel like a bitch when I'm totally acting like a massive bitch. Basically, I wasn't even halfway through my shift when I started to think about what kind of wine I was going to pick up on my way home from work; I'm drinking it right now and I'm not even sorry. Peace, sluts.

Please leave. Just get out.

Don't ask me for my advice if you're not going to take any of it on board, or worse, question it and/or tell me I'm wrong. If you're not satisfied with my response, then you shouldn't have wasted my time by asking me in the first place. It's rude, unnecessary, and totally pointless. This is another problem us retail employees have to deal with. It happened to me today when a man asked me to help chose an anti-wrinkle face cream for his "wife". I showed him one of our more popular ones that was also on sale and he constantly asked me if I was absolutely sure that it was for wrinkles. I (almost angrily) pointed to the words "anti-wrinkle" on the front of the box. It's safe to say I walked away from that wanker afterwards picturing myself pushing him off a cliff, much like I do with other cunty customers. Another sucky thing about shit customers when working in retail is when NOTHING IS GOOD ENOUGH FOR THEM. This brings me back to the guy with the wrinkle cream. He then asked me if the cream I showed him came WITHOUT the box. THEN when I showed him the size of the actual cream inside the box,he asked if there was a bigger size. Of course, he was a tad disappointed when I told him there wasn't. To add to that, he just HAD to point out that you didn't get much cream. He obviously saw how annoyed I was by his stupidity that he even tried to laugh it off. Nice try, fuckwit. In return, I decided to talk to him like the dummy he is, and explain that it was a small jar due to the fact that you don't need much because our faces are small areas in comparison to the rest of the body. Do you see the level of stupid I have to deal with everyday? It is no fucking wonder that I'm on meds these day. Thank you, and have a wonderful fucking night. Later cunt bags.

Get out of my store, dill hole

You know what's extremely rude and annoying? When customers come into your store at night just before you're due to close and dawdle around the store until after closing time. This happens to me at work all the time and I was sick of it a long time ago. Tonight was particularly annoying because I was already pissed off due to a customer that was annoying the crap out of us in the fragrance section. These two ladies, a mother and daughter, were wondering around separately looking for crap. The old lady asks for help with hair dye, showing me the front she had cut off the last box she had used. By this point, the shop wqs already closed, but of course we had to wait. I showed the lady the EXACT product she showed me, the black shade, but oh no, it was too dark for her. Bitch, why show me that shit when you're gonna say no? I could've punched her. Her daughter then came over to help her finish making a decision, and I thought it was over at that point, but it wasn't. To cut a long story short, I didn't make it home until 8.35, and the store closes at 8. We got out late, and no one was happy about it. Seriously, to those of you who do the shitty last minute thing, JUST DON'T. It's rude and inconsiderate. Do you think we don't have lives? Do you not realise that we too have places to go home to? Where have you been all fucking day? JUST FUCKING STOP.

retail is a butt

For real, working I retail can be one of the most mentally draining things one can do in their lifetime. I have been doing it since I was 15 and I'm now 24 with no intention of pursuing a "further career" because despite how shitty customers can be, my pay is quite decent for the kind of work I do. Today was one of the most busiest days I've ever worked since Boxing Day and I would never wish it on anyone. I came home feeling so damn tired and fucking hungry and frustrated and wanting to pinch things. Amongst all the business of the day, there were some very cunty customers, one in particular was this stupid old cunt of an old woman who when I asked her to repeat what she said because I COULDN'T FUCKING HEAR HER MUMBLE repeated it back to me as if I was some kind of moron and then she repeated it AGAIN in the SAME FUCKING WAY as if I asked her again. Who's stupid now, whore... The only thing getting me through the shift was the thought of seeing my cars tonight and my love tomorrow when we go on our Costco adventure. Maybe I should be tried harder in school and gone for a more life-worthy uni course so I could get something that people consider a "real job" so I didn't have to put up with this shit everyday. Here's some words of wisdom, guys: don't be a lazy shit like me. But hey, feel free to complain to me, because there's a good chance I share your feels. Leace out, hoes ✌

Switched off

It's funny how usually, a busy day at work can go fast and leave you feeling somewhat satisfied after your shift. I wish I could say that about today. I was working with most of my favourite people, but it was so busy that it didn't even matter, and even though it went fast, I was left sweating and feeling exhausted because I was working non-stop; I was LITERALLY run off my feet. Even though I got to see my favourite person in the world after my shift tonight, it was hard to enjoy his company because I was tired, sore, and feeling a little depressed. It really sucks when shit like this happens, especially when you have no idea why you're feeling so low. It's as if my brain randomly switches off the part that produces happy juice and takes a break earlier than when I am ready. On the bright side, my meds are helping, so I'm doing better at my job, despite my random low moments. I just wish this could all stop now. I wouldn't wish these shitty feelings on anyone.

DONE

I hate people. I hated people from day one. Working in retail has made me hate people more. It could have something to do with the fact that even though I'm more intelligent than I look, people decided to think otherwise, jumping to the conclusion that I'm a total loser and am only capable of a career in retail. Guess what, though... I'm fucking awesome, so go eat a dick.

time has a really sucky way of slowing down when you’re waiting to spend time with your favourite person
