If you’re one of the few people that have never needed a job through high school or college, consider yourself to be one of the lucky ones.

If you’re like me, you’ve had jobs throughout high school and college. There aren’t many qualifications you have as an 18-year-old trying to find a job. So, you take what you can get and unfortunately, end up in retail.

Here are 6 reasons why retail is the actual worst.

1. “The customer is always right”

Now, sometimes you have terrible cashiers who are just bitter individuals. That I don’t blame you for sassing them back. But customers that insist you owe them a $40 coupon because they always shop there are the most annoying individuals which brings me to my next point…

2. We have to accept coupons from the Stone Age

No, Deborah, we can’t take your coupon from 2010 no matter how much you want to use them on your son’s homecoming shoes. I don’t understand why someone would think that they can use a coupon from when the store first opened.

3. Customers treat the store like their own home

Why would you see it okay to just throw whatever you’re looking at on the floor? What if someone was looking at a picture on your phone and just threw it down? I don’t ask for much, just to not make me clean up 16 shoe boxes on aisle 16.

4. Having to laugh at jokes that aren’t funny

If I have to hear one more joke that alludes to the fact that those shoes should be free, I’m going to scream. No matter how many jokes you make about getting your shoes for buy one get five free, it probably won’t happen.

5. Working on major holidays and having people wonder why you’re less than thrilled to be there

I really don’t see how me working on New Year's Eve would make me a happy camper. I’m glad you’re getting your items for a night out on the town, but my night will be spent on the cash wrap with me and my coworkers.

6. Most of your paycheck is spent right back to the company

The positive and negative of working in retail is, although you probably get a great discount, your paycheck is getting spent right back at the store that makes you a bitter party of one.

As much as I love the friends I’ve made and the stories I now have to tell, I could do without the customers.
