Lets get something straight first. I love my job, I really do. But sometimes, hilarious yet painful things happen and I feel like they're a common pain among retail workers.


When you just finished folding a table of clothes, and a customer comes by and messes it up.

I don't know why you had to pick up every shirt and throw them back on the table.

When you smile at a customer and ask them how they are, and they just scowl at you like you offended them.

I only asked because I had to, and you ruined my day.

"My coupon expired two months ago but I just found it, can I still use it?"

And then they continue to complain that they should be able to use it if they lost it so you look at them like:

When you have your hands full of clothes and someone asks you to help them find something.

Yeah sure, let me just drop these clothes on the floor specifically to help you. No big deal.

When a customer refers to you by your first name...

Oh yeah, I have a nametag on. But still...

"Would you like to sign up for.....?" "NO!"

Thank you for interrupting my sentence... And now you don't get a discount.

When you see the person who's coming in for the second shift.

Finally, it's time to go home.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
