#DearCustomer: If you're a problematic customer & then claim you worked in retail before, I'm gonna call BS on that.

I nicknamed two of my coworkers Homophobe and Band Camp. That should give you a good look into what it's like working here.

[Retail Regrets @PointofFail]

@RainCityRespawn Haha- awww

[Retail Regrets @PointofFail]

#dearcoworker: I didn't get a lunch today!
Me: Yeah but you had like six "smoke breaks", so...

A #dearcustomer was so drunk he didn't remember checking in and tried to check in again three hours later.

[Retail Regrets @PointofFail]

This #dearcustomer has been waiting for the elevator for literally 10 minutes.

He never pressed the button.

"My tv isn't working"
Me: Is it plugged in?
"Yes."
It wasn't.

[Retail Regrets @PointofFail]

@NorcoSlinger People who say "email" instead of "text" and vice versa

[Retail Regrets @PointofFail]

Pet peeves I didn't know I had until it happened: Grown-ass adults who say "Li-Barry" instead of "Library".

All these folks worried about erasing history when the Confederate statues come down will be thrilled to learn about the existence of books.

Guest complaint: There aren't any Italian restaurants near here!
Correction - There aren't any Italian restaurant nearby that you LIKE. 🙄

[Retail Regrets @PointofFail]

Customer: She rolled her eyes at me!
Everyone: Nuh uh. Nope. That doesn't sound like her at all.

Guess I'm not sassy enough at work.🤔
