retail

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. 

We're not sure who's more shocked here; The retail worker who learned the power symbol isn't a camera, or the tech support dude who had to tell them?

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. 

Idiotic returns, straight up theft and sloppy slight of hand. These folks are either too dumb to realize they're dumb or they're just too desperate to care.

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.

Your greatest fears are realized. Sometimes the off-brand really does come from the same factory.

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. 

Be kind to those working in retail and food service!

No avocado is safe.

Oh the joys of working retail. 

The customer is always wrong. And dumb.

Walmart serves as something of a beacon to the chaotic, unexpected and purely strange instances that are bound to pop up when you have a massive store that caters to all walks of life. I'm not even trying to perpetuate a stereotype, negative or otherwise about Walmart right here; but instead, simply float the glaring reality that some weird, messed up shit transpires within those colosseums of consumerism.
