A lot of us have been through working in retail and we can all relate to the struggles we encounter every day. I personally have worked in retail going on five years now (RIP me) and have been working at Levis for about two years.

I'm going to let you in about how it feels to #LiveinLevis.

1.Your coworkers will be your second family

These are the people who will see you at your worst (I’m talking Black Friday y’all). But, they will always have your back and be protective of you. They will be there when you need to vent or have a lot on your mind. You and your coworkers will also bond when you're both having a bad day. I've seriously met some of my closest friends at work.

2. Customers are the worst

You know the customers I’m talking about. The customers who throw their credit cards at you. The customers who always have something to complain about...like if you hate it sooo much..shop somewhere else? They will complain about how high the prices are as if I can do something about it. I can't.

3. Customers are also the best

Sometimes my day is made by a particular customer. These people make you hate your job a little bit less and prove to you there still is some good in humanity. They are polite and talk to you like you're still a human being. Shoutout to y'all.

4. You fold jeans like a pro

I can actually fold a stack of jeans in 30 seconds. Can I add it to my resume?

5. Retail stores are actually super gross

You can’t even begin to imagine the amount of dust a retail store can accumulate, or the amount of dead bugs you will find.

6. Shopping for jeans still sucks

Just because I work for a company known for their jeans doesn’t make the jean shopping process any better. I still hate trying on a pair as much as you do.

7. Sizing is definitely wack

I seriously have jeans ranging from a size 27-32. Talk about inaccuracy. Stop paying attention to what number is on your jeans and just buy the pair you feel comfortable in and still allows you to breathe.

8. People have very interesting requests

I’ve had a mom ask me to keep an eye on her kids while she was shopping. I’ve also had a customer ask if I could tailor their pants for them...in store...myself.

9. Being able to tell a difference between every shade of blue

Trust me on this. These blues might look the same but they’re not. The first one is more of a navy blue and the second is more indigo and no, they are not the same price even though they make look the same.

While you have to take the good with the bad, I don't ever regret working at Levis. Because of this job I have made so many new friends, was able to help people find a pair of jeans that fit, and also grew my own jean collection (let's be honest though I have way too many pairs).
