10 Stupid Questions Retail Workers Get Asked

Growing up, I remember how badly I wanted to work at a clothing store. Now that I am old enough to work at one, I can attest that costumers are needy. This neediness comes along with annoying and ridiculous questions. Sure, I don't mind when you ask me for a size that's not on the floor, or if something looks good on you. It's my job to help you have the best shopping experience possible. However, I don't have patience for stupid questions.

1. "Do you work here?"

Nope. I'm wearing a walkie talkie and folding the mess you made out of these shirts purely for fun.

2. "Can I have this in letter M?"

Miss, just say medium. Please.

3. "Can I go look in the back for this?"

Yeah, go ahead. Try and navigate through that stock room because I've worked here for months and still don't know where anything is. Let me know how that goes for you.

4. "Can you throw this out for me?"

Sure, I'm glad I can add garbage woman to me resume now.

5. "Is this fitting room locked?"

Considering how you just went from door to door and jiggled each doorknob, I thought you would've figured it out by now.

6. "How much is this?"

Maybe check the tag?

7. "I know the sign says it's 50 percent off, but is it on sale?"

Yeah, it's 50 percent off.

8. "Are you open?"

Considering how it's 3 p.m. and you were able to walk through the doors, I'd say yeah.

9. "Can I return this shirt? I got it three years ago."

Sorry, I think you may be a little over the 30-day return policy. Also there are coffee stains on it so you can just keep it.

10. "What do I press for credit?"

The button that says credit, maybe? Oh. My. God.

I apologize to all retail workers I've asked questions like these to over the years. I feel your pain now.

Next time that you go shopping, one simple request, from employee to customer. Think before you ask. Thank you for shopping with us and have a nice day!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
