Well, you know, there's the specialty iced coffees. That's yummy. Which one to get?
Looking at the menu, I could just get a plain coffee too. Hmm, that might be better than an iced coffee if I'm getting a cinnamon bun. You got the tiny ones, and then the regular sized ones. Which one to get?
Man, stop pressuring me. Just let me re-read the whole menu and prices. Again.

Retail fukking sucks its the worst especially if you work in clothing. The work is dull and the ppl working are the absolute worse. One of my first jobs was at the GAP. Too many fags and uptight ugly white women for my taste. They were blantly racist too. Keep all the blacks working in the stockroom while cacs were on the sales floor. And they dont pay shyt at all

man I worked at the gap and old navy. I worked at old navy one summer after my fresh year of college. it was my night job, cuz I worked at city hall during the day as an intern/gopher. anyways the old navy job was fun. some of my high school friends worked there, and the people were cool as shyt. we used to go chill and get high after work and generally just chill up in there.

working at the gap. that shyt sucked. I worked there after I got done working at old navy for the summer. they were able to transfer me to that store cuz I was already in the system, and the town my school was in didn't even have an old navy. it was in central illinois, and the boss was not only a faq, but an a$$hole too. I ended up getting fired for showing up there high as a kite. but I didn't care. all I did there was fold clothes and it wasn't paying shyt anyways.

this isn't really retail but i used to work for taco bell and things were cool until a new fakkit manager came in and started trying to bust balls. fired almost everyone there and brought in people that worked at some kfc he was transferring over from. i don't know why they let me stay, but i was pretty much to the point of quitting.

this guy complained about EVERYTHING, and the people he hired were all a$$holes. very cliquish. anyway, before i quit from there, i finally decided to get back at them. i brought a bag of shyt (about three or four lumps i dropped the previous night). i never ate the food there, but the people i worked with did, including the manager. anyway, i decided to mix the shyt i brought in with the beef. i stirred it real good, so that there wasn't any chance of them finding it.

i feel sorry for the people who bought tacos made with my shyt, but you can imagine the huge grin on my face when my co-workers would go on break and have a beef taco for themselves. they used to ask me why i never ate any of the food, and i would tell them i only eat halal meat.

So glad I stopped messing with fast food!

I worked at Sears on commission selling microwaves and washers/dryers and shyt. I didn't make not one sale though before I got fired. Well, actually, I had one day where I sold something ridiculous like twenty-two different things, but since it was my trial/training period they didn't pay me commission on it. That's the day I gave up trying.

 

[ProfessionallyTrill]

I remember a time working at Kohls during college and a lady was calling about 4 of these purple striped ties for a wedding in a few hours.

Customer Lady: Do you have the purple striped ties in the ad?

Me: I’m pretty sure we have em in stock.

CL: Could you check to see if you guys have 4 of them?

Me: Ma’am you would have to come to the store to make sure they’re the ones you want.

CL: JUST CHECK AND RESERVE 4 OF THEM!! JESUS HOW DUMB ARE YOU PEOPLE??!!

Me: Ok then.

Long story short this woman was such a bytch that I dribbled some piss onto the ties for her sons wedding. She came in the store tried to shake my hand and apologize but I wasn't havin that. She got the piss purple ties and left.

 

[MoneyTron]

LMAO this thread has me rolling. I'd never work retail. Somebody would end up pissing me off to the point I'd quit.

 

[blockburna420]

I den came a long way since this thread was made

 

[MBwithadream]

WE HAD THIS MANAGER THAT WAS A REAL a$$hole AT KMART. SOME CUSTOMERS CAME IN ONE DAY WITH CROWBARS LOOKING FOR THIS NIKKA. THEY BROKE SOME SCREENS AND SHYT AND MADE A BUNCH OF NOISE. THIS bytch MADE ASS NIKKA MAKES A THE FASTEST 100 YARD DASH AND LOCKED HIMSELF IN THE CASH CAGE. WE LEFT HIS ASS IN THERE UNTIL CLOSE. WE WAS GONNA LEAVE HIM IN THERE TILL MORNING BUT WE DIDN'T KNOW IF IT WAS AIR TIGHT.

Man, I remember working at Circuit City, and the fukkery that occurred......

 

[Robbie3000]

I worked at Kroger's in a rich part of town. I was a bagger and we used to carry groceries out to the car for these rich ass people and we would get 2-3 dollar tips. It was a nice gig actually. Really good tips, except for Wednesdays - Senior Citizen discount day. All these blue hairs would come into the store and give you .50 cent tip after hauling their groceries in the cold.

Also, the managers were real disrespectful to workers. They stayed firing my friends. One time this cac assistant manager that looks like Mitt Romney tried to accuse me of stealing. Made me go to the office and empty my pockets. Then he had the tight face because i didn't steal anything. I still get pissed to this day that i let that Muthafukka humiliate me like that. I let it go at that time cause i was young, but if this was today?

 

[Francis White]

At my old place there was a crew selling coke to customers and other stores around my job like Eddie Baur whose manager ratted out 1 of the people in my place, it was a domino effect that week, it ended of costing 27 people there jobs, and 1 guy catching a beatdown in the process, funny thing is the head of the drug crew got away scoot free because he had management in pocket, the people around him also walked, guy was in shipping department wearing Armani suits, had a BMW and his own bar working shipping and noone knew anything. Now the the funny thing is that 1 of the guys who got fired worked with me and this guy was a loser, girl cheats on him while he is there and all that, he blamed me for him getting fired, i was working corporate at the time, he comes there and starts getting in my face saying i got him fired because i was friends with head guy, i had to slap the shyt out of him for beeing to close and yelling at me. The guy has not had a steady job in over 7 years, total bums in retail.

 

[Francis White]

I got fired at Sears after 2 weeks I got into a verbal confrontation with a customer some old lady

I worked at Sears for 4 days then quit, they lied about when i would be getting my commission and about how many i hours i would be getting, Once i saw through the crap , i just walked out

 

[Easy-E]

I worked at Sam's Club and Gamestop, during college.

I didn't need another job (I had enough support for tuition, books, rent, etc.), but, I had too much extra time, on my hands.

I worked at Gamestop for a day. I quit because; I didn't like the work (I thought working there would be fun) and it was minimum wage (too much work for the pay). And I didn't like the "empty your pockets, everyday" policy. I told a white lie to look good for quittin' after one day .

Sam's Club was cool, for a minute. I was hired as a cashier, but, as time went on, I was collecting carts, in the parking lot. And that really irked a 20 yo Easy-E. So, I bounced after 2 months.

I will admit; I was a bit uppidly. I won't say what my real job was, but, being in college gave me a short fuse for the stuff hourly wage folk have to go through. I thought I deserved more. But, I should have keep working...I still had too much time on my hands.

Worked at a few popular clothing stores when I was younger and I hope y'all are washing your newly bought clothes before you wear them.

My family looks at me sideways, when I tell 'em; I ALWAYS wash new clothes before I wear 'em

Would you elaborate, though?

this isn't really retail but i used to work for taco bell and things were cool until a new fakkit manager came in and started trying to bust balls. fired almost everyone there and brought in people that worked at some kfc he was transferring over from. i don't know why they let me stay, but i was pretty much to the point of quitting.

I can't be too mad. I worked at Dairy Queen, in high school, and spit in a rude customers Blizzard. He was playin', in the drive thru. I made his joint and spit in it .

But, atleast I didn't contaminate a whole meat supply.
