This old lady was so focused on getting her cd that nothing was gonna throw her off. If you thought some yellow tape was gonna stop her, you're in for a surprise.

Just don't be rude to your servers, people. It is NOT that hard. If these memes and tweets about the struggle-filled existence of muddling through working retail hit home for you, maybe you need some more. And in that case, check out the list over here.
The struggle is REAL in working retail. You tend to give up a part of yourself when you submit yourself to a place where carefully manufactured smiles, and howareyou eyes, and a stubborn (faked) optimism in the face of unruly customers who just want to be upset about something. These tweets capture the tough emotional rollercoaster that the retail/customer service grind can take you on.
If you've spent any time in the world of retail, you're familiar with the type of customer who, no matter how wrong they are from the start, will never take no for an answer. They will be rude and insufferable to employees for nothing more than the satisfaction of "winning" a social interaction. Well their kids don't like them either.
These spicy memes about working retail capture with painful accuracy the soul-grinding struggle of dealing with customers who often seem like they just want to be pissed at the world. They're real and so is the struggle. Thankfully we have memes to speak to the pain, and even provide us some bitter laughs along the way.
Lord help the customer service representative who has to deal with the customer who thinks they're always right. These stories are a mixed bag. Sometimes the insane customer gets their comeuppance, and sometimes they just benefit from their frustrating behavior. If you wanted to read more manager stories, then here you go.
Just cause you find yourself in a moment of great, impossible stress doesn't mean that the manager -- wherever they might be hiding -- is going to see you about the problem you've dug up, real or imagined. Sometimes though, when the sh*t does in fact get real, and you're not leaving some bullsh*t-stained review to diminish an establishment's online reputation, you absolutely need to speak to the manager! These are some of those stories, that capture those moments.
Consider these invaluable life hacks, for not eating your way into a 12-round bout with the nearest accessible toilet. Some fast foods just aren't worth that quick, terribly satisfying reward-satisfaction.
You know that moment when you discovered your favorite show wasn't on Netflix anymore? Crushing, we know. We think about it every day. Someday, we'll move passed it but right now it still hurts too much.
We shared some of these with you guys recently (see here), and ya'll seemed collectively entertained, if not frustrated with the kinds of maddening shit retail workers have to suffer through on a daily basis.
