With so many retail businesses closing and laying off workers, some of the only retail jobs left right now are work in grocery stores. So this does seem like a weird time for these. With that said, retail and customer service memes are relatable to literally anyone who has ever worked retail ever in there life, so cosmically, it makes sense.

Ah yes, another Tumblr user yet again proving why the world of Tumblr is full of countless comedic gems. It's a place that's filled to the brim with strange insights, and people falling down all kinds of weird rabbit holes. In this case, we've got a promising concept of a pizza delivery dude (apparently Rami Malek), who ends up navigating a world of different horror movies. Fun stuff.
This DoorDash employee was trying to figure out what happened to the extra compensation they were promised. It would appear that the promise was as good as empty air, nothingness, cause it never came around to be fulfilled. Nope. No extra compensation. Instead, a frustrating, grueling process experienced by the hard-working DoorDash employee to try and get the money that they'd been assured would be provided.
If you're gonna be really serious to your server and demand that they bring you a beer with every passing, then get ready for your wallet to explode. It's hard to tell what this guy's goal was, but his words were the nails in the coffin. The service industry is at times lawless and full of characters, so you get a lot out of tales from servers who have seen it all.
This Pizza Hut employee decided to return a customer's rather ridiculous question, with a ridiculous answer of their own. It would appear that that decision resulted in some brain short circuiting, and the customer ultimately taking offense. Hopefully the Pizza Hut employee managed to take some fun out of it.
Someone on AskReddit asked for pawn shop owners to describe the best reactions they've seen from people that tried to sell worthless stuff. People are prone toward losing their minds, when they find out that that possession they were trying to sell, is in fact worthless to the pawn shop owner. It can be a humbling process.
Pizza delivery employees are out there hustling, keeping the hungry folks fed. A big shout out and thank you to everyone out there on the grind. These tales from pizza delivery employees capture some of the strange encounters that have been had by people working on delivering pizza during the time of the Coronavirus. It's a strange environment, indeed. Make sure to tip those pizza delivery dudes extra! Everyone stay safe, and keep those hands washed! Also, check out the CDC for the latest updates.
Someone on AskReddit asked for retail workers to share their craziest experiences with apocalypse preppers stocking up on all kinds of absurd stuff, while leaving common decency at the door. Some folks are giving themselves over to a blind panic, and in that process treating other human beings like dirt. No good.
Having a rude Karen mistake you for a customer service person can be a huge inconvenience, but some people see it as an opportunity. This Karen got way up in a mom's face and ended up playing herself. For another one, here's a shopper who got some petty revenge on a Karen hoarding toilet paper.
This deeply dissatisfied customer sounds like they've hit their breaking point when it comes to exercising patience over an employee's painfully slow cheese cutting abilities. At the end of the day, the job might just not be a good fit for the employee. Cutting cheese isn't for everyone.
Sometimes customers throw out an order that seems to escape the very definition of logic. It's like the customers just threw a bunch of random foods together, and decided to surprise the waiters with pure nonsense. I mean, hey, everyone has their thing, and sometimes people enjoy a particular food combination like ice cream and ketchup. Yes, let that settle. Ice cream and ketchup.
This dude had a request for the hotel he was staying at in D.C. It was a very, very important request not to be taken lightly. Yes, this dude wanted a framed picture of Harambe. To make matters even more spectacular, the hotel was cool with the guy keeping the framed picture.
People that have worked retail are sharing their most beloved methods for passing the time. Things like not checking the time as frequently have been known to help people feel like it's passing faster. Could try that, or maybe striking up conversation with people that are coming in as customers.
