- Black Friday = hell on earth.

- "Oh, you close at 10:00? Lucky, I got here at 9:59."

- Your Christmas present is the garbage truck customers decide to empty out in the dressing rooms.

- Feeling proud of yourself after rearranging the entire stock of pink polyester jeans, and then having your hopes and dreams brutally crushed by a customer/demon who "couldn't find her size".

- The PA guy's last words would probably be "clean up on aisle 7".

- Getting that feeling of tear-filled joy when seeing a customer who at least TRIED to fold those ankle socks.

- Me: "Hi, may I help you?" Customer: *ignores* Me: *looks out window at snow while sipping hot chocolate as a single tear falls down cheek*

- Customer: "Hi, do you work here?" Me: "No, I wear a red tee shirt with "May I Help You?" scrawled across the back in big white letters just for laughs."

- Customer: "They have this for a lower price at Walmart." Me: *Looks up from packing customer's bag* "Huh?"

- That feeling when the customer angrily demands to "speak to the manager". And you are the manager.

- When a customer decides to endlessly rant about the daily drama in their life and you have no choice but to stand there with a fake smile plastered across your face.

- When a customer leaves the store empty handed and you feel the urge to get them thrown in jail.

- "Oh wow! A $100 bill! I can't WAIT to hear about how you have a flight to catch in 30 seconds and can't gather the energy to pull a $12 bill out of your wallet!"


I don't think anyone gets the respect they deserve until you find out they work in retail.
