To the customers who apologize repeatedly for “bothering” me, or offer to clean up their own spill if I just get them some paper towels, or walk all the way around an aisle so as not to disturb me when I’m blocking their path, I just want to reassure you that you are NOT the annoying customer we complain about in retail. You are very kind and you clearly respect me and my time and I appreciate you. Also I am happy to help you with whatever you need and it is not at all a bother.
To the customer who shouted “EGGS?” at me from twenty feet away because apparently it was just too much trouble to come a few steps closer and use a complete sentence like “where are the eggs, please?”: fuck you.
for y’all who are also bad at math but too lazy to bust out a calculator: 45 weeks is eleven months, just to make it clear how much she’s fucking with him
Someone went to town with sticky lizards in this Kmart.
They threw some of them so hard they exploded
RANT TIME
I work retail.
We sell these things in eyeball form for Halloween.
FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, PLEASE. PLEASE
Fucking PLEASE STOP THROWING THEM ON THE CEILING.
We get in trouble when this happens because it’s a loss of merchandise for us. The sheet rock in the ceiling tiles DOES SOMETHING to those little fuckers, and it is like SUPER GLUE. They come off so HARD AND PRACTICALLY MELTED TO THE CEILING.
WHich damages the ceiling tile. Guess who is responsible if a ceiling tile falls on a guest?
Fucking us.
I had to climb a twelve foot ladder in order to pull these fuckers off, and the ceiling tile CAME WITH THEM. Which gave me a LOVELY black eye and covered me in God knows what what in that fucking drop ceiling.
ITS NOT FUCKING FUNNY. IT’S ACTUALLY A DANGER FOR THE EMPLOYEE CLEANING IT UP.
