For anyone who has worked in retail, you know that it can be the best and the worst of times. Here are some humorous moments that most retail workers can relate to.
1. When someone doesn’t put something back where it’s supposed to go
2. When you give the customer the wrong change and you have to call your manager to open your register
3. When the customer tries to swipe their card before you're even done scanning their items
4. When a customer takes 7 years to put their change away when there is a massive line behind them
5. When someone walks in 5 minutes before you are closing
6. When you are speed walking to your break and a customer asks you for help
7. When a customer tries to return an item that they have clearly used, dropped in the dirt, then washed
8. When it's your turn to run returns
9. When you haven’t worked in a few days and they have completely rearranged the store on you
10. When you accidentally ask the customer how they are, a second time
You: "Hi, how are you today?"
Customer: "Good, how are you?"
You: "I'm good, how are you?"
It's okay. We've all been there. Shifts are long and so spacing out is only natural.
