Working in retail has its highs and lows. At the end of the day, we might love or hate our jobs, but through all the ridiculous things that happen, all we can do is laugh. If you too are dealing with the craze of holiday greed in shopping malls, you'll relate to these shenanigans that we deal with in retail, as told through Chandler Bing and his witty humor.
"What can I help you find today?" *receives no response*
Like, can I at least get a "no thank you?" A smile?
When those extended holiday hours kick in.
I mean, we all stay up late. But not in the MALL for goodness sake, cleaning up fitting rooms piled high with inside-out jeans.
When a customer makes a super inappropriate joke.
No, I will not "assist you" in the fitting room but I don't want to get in any trouble, so instead of telling you that you're disgusting, I'm just going to laugh nervously and go hide in the back.
When a customer asks to speak with the manager, and your manager tells them exactly what you told them.
It's extra funny when you are the manager and they have no one else to run to. *evil laugh*
That one difficult customer that just WON'T GIVE IT UP.
Repeat the mantra: I love my job, I love my job, I love my job.
When you close the doors at closing time and realize just how much of a disaster your store is.
So many clothes, so little energy, and so little time.
When you finally get home and all you want to do is relax.
Please, I don't even want to look at an unfolded t-shirt.
