Retail Problems

Two best friends working for an expensive brand. Welcome to our struggle and our lives.

*An item won’t scan*

EVERY. SINGLE. CUSTOMER. EVER: Well, I guess it’s free. ^-^

[dragoniangirl]

I have found the best way to combat this! Look the customer dead in the eye and with the most serious, deadpan face say “No. That means I get to pick the price.”

[theretailconfessionals]

“I GET TO PICK THE PRICE.”

I think you’ve destroyed the dreaded “it must be free,” phrase once and for all!

WTF

Who in the fucking world would say something like that when an item doesn’t ring in any supermarket?

[nonsense-choir]

People generally say it as a joke, but when you’ve heard it 574468 times in a single day you know exactly when it’s coming and it’s like a dark cloud that eats all of your humor away in one go.

THIS IS IT.  THE ANSWER TO THE STUPIDEST GODDAMNED JOKE OF ALL TIME.

some customers: oh my god i’m so sorry i have to ask you a question i feel so foolish for not knowing this already please help me but i’m so sorry forgive me

other customers: answer this question before i’ve even asked it or i’ll kill you where you stand

Today was my last day working at a major retailer associated with the color red and I just wanted to let people know what it's like. I had one of my leads tell me "I don't think I'll make it to the end of the year without you" (it's September) and the other tell me that "the universe is good" because I'm leaving. Retail.

Sounds right to me! I hope the lead actually makes it to the end of the year lol. And congrats on leaving your job! :D

One night I'm watching self scan and a customer calls me over.

Customer: I didn't realize this was missing an egg.

Me: Ok.

Me: -takes carton of eggs and puts it in a wagon of items near self scan-

Customer: Aren't you going to get me a new one?

Me: I can't leave self scan.

Customer: So how am I supposed to get a new pack of eggs?

Today a young child, probably 3 or 4, was swinging around two mannequin heads. It may have been the most terrifying moment in my life.

Baby boomers: why don’t millennials just work 2 jobs?

Minimum wage jobs: ok so we need at least 4 full days of availability, must work holidays, can’t request a set schedule, must work weekends, and you will never know what day or what time you are gonna work until the schedule comes out :)

There’s a lady that comes into my work but ONLY around Black Friday/Christmas and rarely any other time and she always gets a shit load of stuff&multiple transactions and dealing with her is a 2 hr+ process and when I see her I want to quit on the spot bc I ALWAYS END UP WITH HER

That’s some bad luck you’ve got there :( I hope you don’t end up with her again this year!
