10 Gifs to Summarize Working Retail

The dreaded word ... retail. So many of us work our way through high school and college working retail, and let's just say it's not easy. It's better than other jobs, I will tell you that, but we all have those daily experiences with customers that ruin our day, bosses that are always on us, working when you really don't want to, but knowing you are making great friends and money in the process. Here are 10 gifs that are relatable to everyone that has worked retail.

1. Walking through the doors for a full work day.

You always know how your day is going to go the second you walk through those doors.

2. When a customer asks you to find something that was right in front of their face.

At least I'm getting my daily steps in! There are always positives ... right?

3. The dreaded "Black Friday."

Enough said.

4. When you're the only one scheduled for the morning shift and it gets crazy busy.

Let's just say you have the feeling of a gazelle being chased by lions. 11 a.m. turns into three p.m. real fast.

5. A customer trying to tell you their life story with a line as long as the Great Wall of China.

I pretend to care, and sometimes I do, but 99.9 percent of the time I'm really not listening. Just nod your head and agree.

6. Having a customer yell at you for something you are not in control of.

I understand your frustration, but I really don't control what comes into the stores and how fast they sell out. I'm sorry I can't use that coupon, but I don't create the rules.

7. When a customer goes and complains to your manager.

He's just going to tell you exactly what I just told you.

8. But knowing your manager has your back.

He or she has been in your shoes. They understand you. The real MVP.

9. Finding out you get to work a shift with your best friend/coworker.

It makes your most dreaded days a little bit brighter, but you know you both will most likely get yelled at for talking too much.

10. But best of all ... pay day!!

After all those tears and long days, that paycheck really pays off. Treat yourself!

There are going to be days you hate and there are going to be days you love. Work, sleep, eat, repeat. Get that money!
