Joys of Working in Retail

[@watermelonsandal4206]

The way he says “scratch tickets” 😂

[@AwesomeMiles8]

I always LOL at the customers that think any information they give to a store is a conspiracy.

[@Nikko3001]

hahaha im still thinking "How the fuck can it be a conspiracy?"

[@FordFalcon1962nBlue]

well actually some information is given out illegally and purchased- im on FB and it'll say names of people ive got on FB claim they are emailing me special offers and ads when i ask them they say no..how are they linking my FB friends to my email?

[@bubba2974]

I was a night shift manager in a convience store and I dealt with this situation every night.I just loved when they asked to speak to the manager and I got to answer that that was me and the answer was still no.

[@kubotaman85]

Customer:Do you work here? Me(What I want to say): No! I just wear this uniform for fun and I am just volunteering my time

[@SoCalTechie92]

The city I work in (Pasadena, CA) passed an ordinance banning plastic bags, and forcing us to charge 10cents for paper bags. It a pain in the ass because I have customers that say THE EXACT SAME THINGS as the guy in the video. I also had a customer that refused to use a loyalty discount card because he didn't want his purchases to be tracked, seriously some people have way too much time in their hands to be worrying about stupid stuff like this.

[@Phoenixwildfire2]

If you don't get screamed at by customers in the bakery for not having pepsi zero because of the stockers, don't tell me it's a cake walk. I have people verbally abuse me all day, every day of my life. People quit so often at my store that I have to not only work full time at a part time job, I have to work overtime just to get the bare necessities done. Don't say a job is easy if you haven't done it before, and don't judge other's experiences before you've seen them.

[@caitlyneagen4297]

I died at the tax part omfg

[@allcapsROB]

I’m from a state where bags are free and had no idea until recently there were states that charged for bags (I’m 30) had I not known that, went to a different state and was asked after I had bought like 20 lbs of groceries if I wanted to buy my bags…I’d be a little irked too lol but everything else I agree with.

[@botchalism]

Retail is such an expansive category that to try and compare the working conditions is rather stupid. Mall clothing stores, fast food retail, warehouse retail (Costco, Sams Club), retail banking, etc. etc. are about as different as night and day. The video poster complaints are ridiculous, supermarket work is a cake walk, especially a checkout out cashier give me a break, it's not remotely physically or mentally taxing whatsoever, stocking shelves is worse but even that isn't a big deal.

[@stholland96]

So funny, and true. For some reason people do think things are a conspiracy, especially when you have to solicit credit to them

[@leons.kennedy2747]

My local store asks every time if I want a bag 'cause they cost 5p. Working in retail before I always throw fake outrage at them. "5p for a BAG ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME!?!?"

[@Vassild]

They are actually started do switch from plastic bags to paper in a lot of places.. At least here in cali... so customers have to pay like 10cents or bring there own bag

[@kasqat]

this is my life. i had a customer who refused to give his phone number to put an item on hold. it's a prompt that our store does in order to keep track of holds and stuff. he starts shouting at me that i have no legal right to ask for this and that i'm part of the government conspiracy to get him to buy democratic books because he was an "honest and god-fearing republican." what ... the ... fuck ... he complains to my manager and they think i have a problem.

[@tressor904]

So damn true! I love how people are like this is an inconvenience to ME, I don't like that, where the hell do they get off thinking a store should cater to their individual needs.

[@botchalism]

Grocery store work is such a cake walk, it isn't remotely physical or mentally draining. There are infinitely worse jobs that teenagers and 20 somethings do every day, janitorial work, fast food, dish washer, buser, telemarketing etc. I remember it being a privilege to work the register versus stocking shelves. Not a fulfilling or lucrative job but I've had MUCH worse.

[@leoh5744]

It's the law in some places, to decrease the number of plastic bags in parks and on streets. Very effective.

[@ManagFTW66]

so funny....lol i love it.

[@CeticWales]

In Wales they do too.

[@mElRuLeZd00d]

exact reason I quit my job at a grocery store after almost 4 years of this hell. I mean I understand people are all different and unique and we shouldn't judge but come on...people are so hard to deal with sometimes

[@LunaticReason]

Lol exactly what I go through at work.

[@Knightoftheright]

Working in retail blows too.I've worked a couple jobs in it,one was better then the other but my Staples Easy Tech one was my suckiest. You had quotas(when I left it was like for 3 different things each day), plenty of customer abuse(Either demand free services or screaming at you because they want their computer fixed for free and didn't buy an extended warrenty)and also a high amount of corporate pressure and stupid ideas.Service in general I think mostly blows regardless but still pretty bad.

[@botchalism]

Virtually every non-technical job that don't require college are mind numbingly repetitive and tedious, especially in this job market. Be grateful you don't work in fast food or a quicky mart where you get paid less, and get violently threatened and robbed on a daily basis.

[@Knightoftheright]

You see crazies on both sides.One time I worked at Staples(during the election)and a group of Obama supporters came along and actually tried disrupting the business(which I presume was because Romney was formally associated with it) and when asked to get off the property,the response was "f*** off !".Police eventually came and they fled.To this day still really don't get what the point of that was,all they did was make themselves look stupid and made a hectic day even more for the people working

[@Flegan777]

Uh yes, it's been the norm since July. This is to encourage customers to bring in their own bags now.

[@werbnnerf]

In the U.S. they don't charge for bags, or in Central America that I know of... O_o

[@leeroyleeroy]

Some places in the UK do too

[@LunaticReason]

I live this every day

[@mlove72]

I don't know where you live, but here in Canada they do!

[@bast963]

TIL working at a cash register in a bodega counts as retail

[@mlove72]

It all depends where you live I guess. If you live in a big city, there's no reason why you can't get a job retail somewhere. Honestly, if I was paid $100 an hour, I wouldn't work retail again. That's why I'm getting a university degree in a well paying field so I never have to work retail again!

[@3goldy]

it's funny because there is ALWAYS someone to replace her.

[@ancatdubh43]

Lots of places, in fact.

[@mlove72]

Yup, I was told our loyalty cards were a conspiracy, that the government was tracking what he was buying and tracking all his information. What are they going to do, kill him? What are we going to do, kill him too? People are insane.

[@werbnnerf]

I know they've been SELLING them, but nobody has charged me for those plastic bags yet

[@mlove72]

I feel your pain.

[@Kegfarms]

Who the hell charges for bags?

[@Kegfarms]

Like I already said before, it is a ridiculous thing to do.

[@mlove72]

It's the only option we have left!

[@ManagFTW66]

i love this shit...

[@ManagFTW66]

.05 bag....

[@Middle_aged_beard]

this must be in alberta....lol

[@CrossoverGameReviews]

LOL. That was hilarious. Though is it a coincidence that every Xtranormal video about retail stores with retarded customers always end with the retailer quitting?

[@iiottoii]

Shit like this 24/7 MC sports. Why don't you have my size of shoe? When will you get my size of shoe? Do you have my size of shoe in this? (Let me check, sir, mam) Why don't you know yet? Go find all my size of shoes.

[@CeticWales]

Could well be, I am of the opinion that as soon as you become a customer, your IQ lowers about 40 points

[@LunaticReason]

Lol thanks.

[@chrissy9153]

So glad I don’t work retail anymore

[@archon808]

This is probably how canada does the free health care thing.

[@Kegfarms]

Pretty ridiculous thing to do.

[@Kegfarms]

What a stupid thing to do.

[@JustineMuller007]
