The customer is in fact, not always right.

Sifting through landfills to find one of the good ones.

There are so many ways you can mess up a job interview — but who could ever anticipate being accused of being late by the late interviewer?

There really are very few jobs that are as soul-draining, and where you are treated as poorly, as retail. Even if that list is short, one job that might just manage to qualify is that of a retail security guard. It's even more thankless, and more looked down upon than retail itself; sure, you don't have to complete the same repetitive tasks as the retail workers do, but that repetitiveness is usually replaced with nothing. Nothing, that is, except the increased abuse from both clientele and ret…

Your first job in the service industry (or retail, I'd argue) is a formative experience. For most of us, it comes at that time in our life when earning some cash is a necessity: Maybe you've just graduated high school or college and need a job; maybe you're still in high school; maybe the career you thought you were going to have as an Olympic level athlete didn't quite work out, and now you have no idea what you're doing with your life. Ignoring the fact that the last example is oddly specific…

You need only ask —and you shall receive. It's baffling how many people still think it's ok to be rude or abusive toward retail workers —you might think they'd learn after all these posts. Those working in the retail space are often some of the hardest working, most under-appreciated people you've ever met. Let's be real here, being on your feet all day is exhausting, and these employers often want nothing more than to ignore your minimum entitlements and work you until you're a bare bag of bon…

Per my last email...

You should probably treat your coworkers with a little respect, even if they work at a different location than they do.

In a series of extremely preventable events this employee was fired for missing work but still required to work out a two-week notice period. If that sounds confusing to you, that's because it is. Working a notice period after being unceremoniously fired is entirely laughable and totally bewildering, especially when you're requiring said fired (and unqualified) employee to run the shop for you while you dip out for wedding preparations with your fianceé. Yeah, totally preventable. All this guy…

When this comedian was asked for a video resume for a simple clothing store retail role she got her gooses gassed up and led with her best foot. She may not have aced the interview, but she has certainly aced our hearts. Her video response perfectly captures Millennial awkward/random humor… and folding a shirt to the tune of dubstep actually provides answers to the mystery of why our generation collectively died inside right around this time.

When you're largely dependent on a specific ‘something’ to keep your business running smoothly, it's never a good idea to upset the people running that thing or treat them poorly. Unfortunately, entitled business owners have yet to learn that they shouldn't mess with these people, or their business could go under. On the other hand, it's fortunate for us because it makes for some great stories. This particular story was just posted to Reddit's r/maliciouscompliance subreddit by user u/nobjangle…

This guy was fired from a store he didn't even work at after an enraged Karen insisted on his termination. He posted to Reddit's popular r/IDontWorkHereLady in order to share his story. Thanks to retrogressive policies like “The customer is always right" we have conditioned all of these entitled people in the world to think that they can get everything their way. The sad thing is that they are often completely right and they have this worldview reinforced time and time again by constant arse ki…

That customer service life though!

This cellphone saleswoman was singled out by her manager and told to clean up the mess of dishes in the break room.

When a guy went to Walmart's customer service to recover his wife's lost almond milk, he was approached by a wild K a ren who assumed he worked there. She insisted that he help her and insisted that he worked there, so he turned the play around and threw it right back at her . Reddit user u/literalgarbageyo posted this thread to Reddit's r/ IDontWorkHereLady , a medium-sized subreddit that often features stories, such as this, that have been shared by Reddit users about their experiences being…
