Anyone working retail should understand this. Those dividers placed at the openings of coolers and freezers that keep the cold in. You’re supposed to just be able to walk right through them, but NO. This is what happens. Every time.

Every. Single. Time.

FUCK. THOSE. THINGS.

I’ve been slapped in the face more times than a god damn hooker because of those things

Probably my favorite response out of all of them.

Omg! I work in produce and THIS a trillion times! I’m printing this out and bringing it to work, then hanging it up lol.

Validating our sad retail lives: you’re doing it right.

all. the. time. and theres different ways of doing it. people who line up with their groceries but are waiting on someone to come back with something, people who just need one more thing but was on their way past, people who forgot one last thing etc.

the other week i even had one to go so far as to put two things down at my register, walk off and come back with two things, walk off and come back with three things, walk off and come back with one thing and so and and so forth until my conveyor belt was full. like seriously, this is my register, not a basket, not a shopping cart!

Bottom Text: WHEN CUSTOMER IS RIGHT]

Whether it’s the date of a receipt, the exclusions on a coupon, or the items referred to by a sale sign, the customer has almost invariably misunderstood it.  I only see exceptions to this rule about once every two weeks or so.

Her reason was the taste was not worth the price…which was $1.00.

I had someone return a bag of sugar free Reese’s because “they tasted weird.”

Top Text: “Alternating shift times”

Bottom Text: “Have a good dight/nay!”]

When my schedule changes between mornings and evenings (1st and 2nd shift), I end up saying some weird combination of day and night jumbled together. Or I’ll say “have a good night” at 10 in the morning, and they look at me funny, and I have to awkwardly add “and a good day too…”

Top Text: “’THE SIGN SAID THAT WAS ON SALE!’”

Bottom Text: “THERE IS NO SALE SIGN ON THE ITEM”]

People are forever deciding that because there is a sale sign in the general vicinity of an item that said item is on sale, even when the sign is explicitly for (and placed on) a different item. This is shelf tags, mind you, not large overhead signs.
