I love shopping, so I thought working at one of my favorite stores would be a dream come true. I'd get to know more about the store and spend a lot of time there, as well as an employee discount. However for anyone that's worked retail, you know that's not how it goes, and so does The Office.
1. You know that sale you love? Ya it's our personal hell.
Staying and setting up the store until 5am to set up isn't exactly my idea of an awesome Friday night.
2. We hate asking you to sign up for a credit card just as much as you hate being asked.
Yes I understand it's annoying, but guess what, I'm just doing my job.
3. If the store closes at 9, please be out by 9.
If you walk in two minutes before closing, just know we're all silently hating you.
4. To the people who ask about a sale after they know it's already ended, just don't.
The sale ended two days ago. You aren't the first or last person to ask if I can override the price. Maybe you should have come in two days ago.
5. We're not stupid, if you're returning something with deodorant stains on it, you've clearly worn it.
There's a reason I kept hand sanitizer at my register.
6. Please just remember the name of the person that helped you.
If you worked somewhere where the cashiers ask the name, you know how frustrating it is when a customer walks up and says the "brown haired lady" helped her.
7. Don't be the person that tries on 20 different things and buys nothing.
To the woman who undid 20 pairs of pajama sets and left them all in a pile in the dressing room, I still haven't forgiven you.
8. Sure I'll work a 12 hour shift today.
Black Friday was always so fun.
9. It's great spending you're entire paycheck at the place you work.
For some reason in my mind 30% off meant I could buy 30% more things.
10. Holidays are not holidays for you anymore.
There's a reason I began to dread Christmas.
11. Just remember the receipt.
If you're trying to return something, please don't make us spend ten minutes searching your item and just bring the receipt.
