If you're a college student, then retail with COMMISSION is insane bread. Straight hustling the customers, knowing which items give out higher percentages, and which companies pay out spiffs. :win:

Spiff - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

You make an extra 10% of the final sale getting someone that store credit card, but you don't mention the insane 33% interest after a year. :myman:

On the other side, money is everything and your coworkers will go ham for a quick $20, including stealing you sale/ customer. You'll be boys today and straight enemies tomorrow just for a measly $20. :whoo: But you gotta keep in mind, the percentages add up.

Every manager is banging out a cashier. The cashier is hoping to get her lunches paid for, or some days off. I've seen a bbw latina broad flash her pierced nipples just to get the day she wanted off. She knew what she was doing, she came in rocking a tube top. So who actually got hustled, her or the manager? :snoop:

You learn to size people up financially just based on age,gender, and race.
When you graduate, you thirst to start your real career because you know you're the scum of the earth straight ripping people off and straight lying to their faces for that $1,000 commission check. I'm def glad im outta that game.

Nope i quit in 4 days because it was the holidays and i started the week of black Friday in Television, i was told by the manager that hired me i was going to get 40 hours, plus commission, i was told that after a week we get salary plus commission, i worked with this bama guy who ate everything they said up, when we got our schedules i saw that it was 25 hours spread out over 5 days, plus most of the hours started late in the day, meaning he wanted up to do clean up and re-stock the place at for 8:25hr, i saw through this when his top seller told me we wouldn't commission until after the holidays, and then only on accessories until we passed the the 4 month point, i was like
Code:
:wtf:
and left, the bama stayed on, saying im earning my mad OT:krs: i then explained to him that to get OT you need to work over 40 hours, :childplease: he then got the message but at that point he was trapped, after the holidays they cut all of them.

Worked at CVS, Target and Sears.

Someone shyt all over the floor in Target and the manager on duty wanted me to clean it. I was like ' :childplease: nah, that's not going to happen'

Funniest part working at Sears is I worked in shoes and old people thought it was some high end store or the 1930's cause they wanted me to take their shoes off and put their foot in the shoe. :what:

When I used to work at Mr. Lube, we had this real cheap manager. He was nice to me and my homeboy, but man some of the workers hated his ass. I can see why, he was real strict and direct, never did anything nice for em, etc.

One day he bought chicken and rice from some Chinese spot for all the employees to eat for lunch. Me and my homeboy see him put the tray of food in the lunch room, and we decide, fukk it, we're hungry as shyt (we were high) we gonna feast:shaq:

We finish all the chicken and some of the rice (it was just plain white rice):aicmon:, and head back to work. At noon, our manager was like "Iight everyone, I bought you guys all chicken and rice! Go help yourselves!" He then left to handle some business for a couple of hours. All the employees were like:blessed:

They go to the lunch room and see a tray full of white rice and no chicken:russ: Y'all can imagine how the employees felt:bryan: Me and my boy just chillin there like:jawalrus: When the manager came back, the employees ripped on him something serious, it was the most entertaining shift I ever had

When I worked at Costco as a teen, there was this big white dude who I started talking to. Dude was rough, just came out of jail, really big, shaved head, prison tattoos, etc. Anyway one day he's like I'm heading up to the beach this weekend just to chill, I'm like iight cool see you next week.

Turns out a couple of my dumbass friends were going up to the beach that same weekend:pachaha: That Sunday, they text me saying "yo we got into a big ass fight at the beach, we beat the fukk out of some white dude, bottled him, dude was bleeding out of his head, etc" I'm like iight.

The whole next week I didn't see the white dude, I didn't put the two things together though. When he comes back, he got stitches over his eye and shyt, I'm like man what happened? He's like "some fukking kids bottled me and stomped on my head at the beach":pachaha: shyt was hilarious to me, just had to make sure I wasn't seen with my friends near Costco from that time on, that white dude was fukked up.

When I worked at this one retail store, I use to bullsh*t and just hang out in the stock room when I was suppose to be stocking sh*t. I'd be back there either listening to the radio, watching tv or eating, :russ:

-I was a cashier and we were taught not to take coupons if the expiration date had been cut off. At the time, our drawers got counted individually, something they stopped doing, so if you were short, it was big trouble...W-M don't play. Of course shyt happens to me, I try to scan one anyway and my register rejects it. He gets mad at ME and the CSM tells him he can't use em.

Next thing you know he's taking his grocery cart back, looking at me saying, "It's ALWAYS your own kind!" I'm like :wtf: . I shake it off cause at W-M, all customers treat you like shyt and think they're above you, it comes with the territory. A manager rushes over to me while I'm with another customer and quickly escorts me to the back.

I'm back there confused as hell, had to give a statement and everything. I find out on my last break that shortly after I left dude went SSJ3 and threatened EVERY fukking body. Dude was so loud he shut the entire store up. I'm in the back at the time and couldn't hear shyt. Apparently he threatened to kill me as well.

Over coupons.



...I haven't even got started with W-M, but I'm tired of typing...

Yo, this is the worst chit, cuzz...

They make you sit through all that training and tell you procedure and all that...then don't wanna back you up when you follow it and somebody comes out of a bag on you...

I was working the CS desk at the grocery store and a dude comes in to return a frozen turkey (a whole muthafuccin' turkey) because he got "the wrong one" according to his wife. Mind you:

- it's against state law to take something like that back because you can't control the temp of it once it's gone - and we have a big-ass, highly visible sign that says that...

- he doesn't even have a receipt, so he could've gotten this from anywhere. Let him tell it, he got it from another store! So i'm for reals not about to break bread.

I show ol' dude the sign and explain we can't take it back, and he starts actin' a ass. The manager comes over, and gives the dude a refund! I'm like "WTF??? By doing that you're just making me look like i'm trying to be stubborn..."

... what hoodrat shytass establishment were you workin at b, where people sharking customers and you're lying to customers for a sale and discriminating on customers :childplease:

i worked for commission only at neiman marcus, and that's THE place to get your hustle skills on... because if u on the clock for 8 hours and u dont sell anything, u aint getting sht... theres no hourly to fall back on.

one of the FIRST things i learned from working there was that you NEVER discriminate on a customer based on their looks/age/gender/race... because working at high end stores like neiman marcus/bloomingdales/barneys etc you know that actual wealthy people arent always dressed up like they're going to some fine dining restaurant, and they're not always old. i had chris mullin come in once wearing wranglers and a white t-shirt and nikes.. my nerdass co workers didnt know who he was they were just gawking at his height.
another time these dirty lookin guatemalans came in... everyone avoided them like the plague. they ended up coppin 7 of these fukkboy e.zegna boots for around 600 a pop.

and lying to people to make a sale is the stupidest thing you can do, because anyone that works commission knows that returned items = $ coming out of your paycheck. so if you make 10% on an 800$ sale on pay period, that 80$ will be deducted from your next check.

Waay back in the days spot. Nobody Beats The Wiz | Home PagePlace went bankrupt because of their carny business dealings. The hustle was: Mostly all Sales Were Non Refundable, if defective, you can only exchange for the same item.

I work at a Grocery store now in a Spanish neighborhood and I'm the only black guy who works there lol but it's ok I guess. The customers are annoying as fukk though, they see me pulling a big ass pallet in the aisle and they leave there cart in the middle of it then walk away to get something :smh: just last week this old Hispanic lady was blocking me from bringing in a pallet from Produce so I said "Excuse me" and the bytch is still standing there, i'm like :wtf: so I said it again and still she doesn't move. I was going to tap her on her shoulder but her son told her to move then she got mad at me because I didn't know how to speak Spanish then everyone listening laughed :birdman:

There's also a store hoe who shows random co-workers pics of her ass and shyt :dwillhuh: one guy in the meat dept already smashed, a night crew guy got head from her in the parking lot, and some more shyt.
