Its okay they could call me on a rotary faster than i could explain to them I’m old enough to know what a rotary phone is

retail workers should get double pay on black friday, and also they should be allowed to yell at one customer an hour

Y’all wanna know what retail is like?

I’ve met TWO murderers.

One was a total creep and you could tell something was going on. Was later told by the guy who was always with him that’s he’s in jail for killing his roommate ???

The other one I just found out about today because he was in the newspaper for murdering two cops!? I knew I recognized the name because I SIGNED HIM UP FOR THE LOYALTY PROGRAM and thought his name was cool!???? Dude was so charasmatic it’s terrifying to think he just murdered two cops for pulling him over for an expired tag!????

TWO. IN A BOOKSTORE

If you work retail, what's the primary reason?

I like the work

I like my coworkers

I actively like the hours

The hours are what work for me (e.g. scheduling shifts around school)

I actively like the benefits (e.g. discounts at that store)

It's the only job around that I'm qualified for

It's the only place that would hire me

I'm working retail short term (e.g. until I graduate, get a better job, etc)

I work retail to supplement other income

Another reason not listed here

I don't work retail, show results

Because fashion is more than clothes—it’s the people who made them.

Sounds like he just answered his own question.

This time of year, every time when I need to enter a store, I say a little prayer for all the retail workers, and I do this for all of December plus the first half of January.

"I am a very independent person, okay? I always have been. I fend for myself."

(This scene shows all the labor by other people that allows her to feel independent.)
