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…

When this patient walked up to the receptionist to try and make an appointment they were told that appointments could be made over the phone only, so they whipped out their phone and called the doctor's office right in front of the receptionist. Bureaucracies are an inertant force and dealing with them can be like dredging sludge off the ocean floor. Their entire existence serves to slow penetration and discourage inquiries from advancing any further than they need to. In favor of the reception…

This thread was posted to Reddit's r/antiwork subreddit by Redditor “I was once mystery-shopped at a Petsmart by someone who asked for help finding food and toys for her guinea pig," shared Rainyqueer1. "We had a great interaction, talked about guinea pig needs, nutrition, etc.” "80% on my mystery shop score because I forgot to ask the GP’s name. My bad I guess, but…wow, I’m glad my retail days are over. I just don’t care what your rodent’s name is." “I got fired from bb [Best Buy] years ago fo…

One Fish, Two Fish, Less-Fish-For-You Fish

Every retail worker and customer service person has wished that they could do this.

Need I say more?

This former Subway “Sandwich Artist” took to Twitter on Monday to share their experience with an unfortunate individual who intentionally ordered a “questionable sandwich” that would haunt their nightmares. They note in their initial tweet that kick-started the thread that they “sincerely worry about the person who ordered it.” The story was told by @pb_and_garlic who shared their story in the form of a Twitter thread or what we used to refer to here as a “Live Tweet" (are we still using that?)…
