#working retail

I had a customer who bought an outlet piece that was originally 1300€, sticker price was now 400€. He asked me 4 times if I can lower the price even more. I told him no. He went away to rent a bigger car and came back an hour or two later. And while checking out he asked again, if I can lower the price. I said no. He asked again. And I ignored him. Told him his total is 400€. "SO YOU'RE REALLY NOT LOWERING THE PRICE?" He said, rolling his eyes. Sometimes I wish I could just deny them the purchase for being annoying and pushy. Like, whoops; actually for you the price is 1300€ still. The register won't let me lower it. Whoops. Oh no, now it's is 1500€. You still want it?

getting on the intercom and giving the announcement(s) regarding the store closing for the night is one of the best feelings ever tbh

I had a customer say “I love your personality” and now I’m scared I’m being too genuine at work

I can't stand people who are chronically late to work. Like 5 or 10 minutes isn't a big deal but when you are consistently more than 15 minutes late and I CANT LEAVE until you get there, then fuck you. If I'm supposed to leave at 10 and I'm clocking out at 10:43 because you can't get your shit together, literally fuck you. Don't disrespect my time.

The amount of times I've seen parents overtly and casually abuse their kids in public while I'm working retail is heartbreaking
