“we are the working dead and we lurch for minimum wage” situations from me and my friends #RetailProblems #RetailConfessions #RetailLife #OkayKaren

I’ll say this again for the people in the back. Normalize talking to your co workers about pay rate. It’s a stigma put into place to keep people from getting their deserved pay.

Me: hello. How can…

Knuckle dragger: gImMe A bEwK sTaMps!

People who complain about donating their change at checkout are a whole other species… it’s 41 cents!

When you accidentally “like” an old message

[Retail_Diaries @RetailDiaries1]

People putting their money on the counter and then expect you to hand them their change is absolutely bonkers 🤨🫠

[Retail_Diaries @RetailDiaries1]

Customer: you don’t seem to have too much energy.

My brain on a 92 degree day with close to no AC: oh I’m sorry lemme just …

A dude said a soda was too much (2.92) and leaves. He came back a min or two later and bought a pack of cigs and a lighter for 13$ 🤨🤨🤨

[Retail_Diaries @RetailDiaries1]

If ever there’s a time when I get the crisp new 1$ bills, I either give them back in the nightly deposit or to rude customers. Anything to spoil their day a little

[Retail_Diaries @RetailDiaries1]

Honestly, I wish potential employers would just accept text messages because today is not the day 😵‍💫😷🤒

I think it just hit me this year will be the first Christmas in years that I’m not doing a bunch of sign changes on Christmas Eve. So my family’s Christmas traditions are hitting so much harder. 🥹

Does anyone else get a little bit of high when they drop a job application to a whole new place or are you guys normal? 😅😂

[Retail_Diaries @RetailDiaries1]

Someone asked me “what job deserves a higher pay” I told them “all of em… especially teachers”

[Retail_Diaries @RetailDiaries1]

@MusingsInRetail Same thing happen to me after I left my first job. I had only been gone a month or so and sooooo much tea was spilled that day! 🫖

[Retail_Diaries @RetailDiaries1]

It’s been almost a month since I left the old work place and I’ve literally lost weight, spent more time with my family, been on a road trip had more of a social life. I feel so peaceful.

[Retail_Diaries @RetailDiaries1]

@ManagerCranky Thank you. 🥰🥹🥳

[Retail_Diaries @RetailDiaries1]

Last year, I promised myself that I wouldn’t be working at my current job for another holiday season… today I can proudly say I’m keeping that promise. It’s my last day y’all!

[Retail_Diaries @RetailDiaries1]

It’s a reeeeeeeeal “plug my AirPods in and ignore customers” kinda day.

[Retail_Diaries @RetailDiaries1]

@ManagerCranky “Ma’am that’s our policy”

[Retail_Diaries @RetailDiaries1]

“Back in my day XYZ cost…” back in your day, a house cost a hay penny and a bag of rice. It’s 2023 and we use grown up money not your eldest daughter’s hand in marriage… grow up Gladys

[Retail_Diaries @RetailDiaries1]

Listen customers, I’m gonna tell you a secret. Come closer. A little closer. Closer still *slap* we don’t want your money badly enough to pester you. We’re just saying “hello”. We yearn for the moment you leave so we can goof off and talk trash about you and other customers
