Jobs—can't live with them, can't live without them. No one wants to work, but we do want money, so we all put up with it. There are so many fields to go into, but a lot of younger people still in school work retail. To me, working retail is perfect because I love clothes, so being around them most of the day is heaven. The discount isn't too bad either. Here are 11 things only people who work retail will understand.
1. When you keep walking past something very cute so finally you break down and price check it. (Don't forget to add in your employee discount!)
2. And then putting that item on hold.
3. Spending most of the money you make buying things from where you work.
4. When you just checked the dressing room 10 minutes ago and it's already demolished again.
5. Making yourself look super busy when you see your manager so they don't make you size and colorize racks for hours.
6. The "oh, it doesn't have a price tag, it must be free" joke.
7. The customers that stay right until the store closes.
8. When customers wander off in the middle of their transaction and then another customer comes to check out.
9. Mastering the fake laugh that you use when customers tell corny jokes.
10. Working shifts with the people you don't like.
11. But despite all these struggles, you still love your job.
