I've got a billion of these. I worked in retail for years and it made me lose faith in the human race. Take your pick:
The Grabby Toddler
The Telescope Mom
The Three Stooges
Alarm Clock Grandma
The Vacuum Specialist
My Boss is a Crop Duster
Welfare Royalty
>>26841658
I'll take alarm clock grandma
two telescope moms
and some welfare royalty
oh and a large vacuum specialist, please
>>26840473
did you get fired for being a coward?
>>26841993
Nah the supervisor knew she was a bitch and was hiding in there too. We both laughed when we looked through the stockroom window and saw her leave

Serves em right. Never trust chubby Lebanese people to run a business.
>>26842885
Wow mate what an absolute shithole to work on
At least you got the last laugh and saw the place crumble to shit.

>At least you got the last laugh and saw the place crumble to shit.
Yea I get a good feel whenever I go by the empty building that was that store. Apparently the lebanese guy (he's like 27 or something) married a 19 year old coworker of mine, so that was interesting.

I'm thinking of getting a job at the local Walgreens down the street.
Any stories to let me know what I'm in for? I've heard something about bullshit policies that employees absolutely must abide by, but beyond that I'm clueless.

>>26844058
Good. This appeases my sense of justice. Why did she let him poke her with his gross mongolian salami anyway?
>>26844030
People will call all the fucking time asking if you have either Mytussin AC or Cheritussin AC for OTC sale. Quit fucking calling about fucking codeine syrup you dirty fucks!
Anyone else being bullied relentlessly by their coworkers? My managers talk down to me and treat me like a child, and my coworkers constantly yell at me and blame things on me that I didn't do.

Seriously though Macy's is the last place you want to steal from. There are at least 50 CCTV cameras per floor and if you put up a struggle you'll be man-handled and handcuffed. There's no such thing as getting off with a warning no matter how young/old/innocent you are. Plus the cops get called in so there's that too
>>26844292
I used to be. Fuck them, man. Piss in their coffee.
>>26844368
that's a bright idea comrad
Worked in Retail since 16 to 19, then moved to the big boys. Hospitality.
Never ever and I mean fucking ever work in customer service ever again.
People are complete assholes even when you try to be the most sincere person.
I've had niggers throw cash at me and cuss at me and get in my face. I've had people want to fight me when I did the night audit at the hotel.
Shit sucked. Now Im a merchandising vendor and its complete heaven.
>>26844368
I just hate showing up to work, literally no one likes me because I'm weird and retarded. My mom tells me to just grow thicker skin, I thought this shit would end after high school.

>>26844490
A lot of vendors I meet seem to be in a hurry, is your job timed?
>>26844552
Let me guess, you're in a low tier job that the bullies are meant get filtered into? Get smart, drop the ego and get ahead.
>>26844583
Baby boomer women are the most entitled fucks around
Imagine growing up in the era where men are slaves to their wives who just sit at home and watch soap operas while simultaneously growing up in the era where women could also have any career they want.
It's no wonder they're such entitled pieces of shit.
>>26844583
should have shit in her sub
>>26844583
why was she butthurt about cheese?
>>26844646
No the job actually pays well, its technically retail but I work where theres no customers (night shift). But people constantly talk to me like I'm a child, I'm afraid to ask questions or else they'll start shit. One manager tells me to do something, I do it, get yelled at by another manager, he tells me to do this task his way, then I get yelled at by the original manager. There's no winning.
>>26844686
because of menopause
>>26844701
This is why I'm a NEET desu.
I'm destined to be the whipping boy anyways and I hate being around people, it took me 10 years of wageslaving to figure this out.

>>26844337
Nice try Macys
>>26844337
nice try faggot, security is not allowed to detain anyone legally with handcuffs. I work "security" (aka asset protection) and all you can do is ask them to come back with you to discuss/block them from leaving.
