In the worst ways

10 Ways to be a Memorable Retail Customer

1. Hand an employee a list and wait for them to find everything for you while you wait by the door.

Just because we get paid minimum wage doesn't mean we don't qualify as a personal shopper!

2. Choose your own path on how to get in line.

The signs are there as a distraction—you do you! Even if it means shoving past a small child!

3. Hide your Starbucks cups in the back of display shelves.

It’s so much easier than throwing them in the trashcan a yard away. Plus, nobody will ever find them if you do it well enough.

4. If you decide not to purchase your items, leave your cart in the middle of the aisle.

They'll put themselves back. They told us so.

5. Ask the manager if you can speak to the manager.

Maybe they'll forget their role and go get someone else.

6. If your item doesn't ring up at the register, ask if it's free.

Ha! We've never heard that one before!

7. Upset about the cost of an item? Yell at an employee about it.

We are the ones who set the prices after all.

8. If you can't afford an item, just walk out of the store with it.

It's totally fine, all of the cameras are fake anyway.


9. Pull on the locked door after close not once, but seven times.

Don't even bother reading our hours which are right next to the handle you're wrangling.

10. And please shop for a small village right before close.

Because we get it--this isn't something you could have handled tomorrow or at the 24 hour store down the block.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

1. People assume you are mad all of the time.

2. Ten out of ten times you will give off an intimidating impression to others.

3. People do not acknowledge your feelings because you "do not have any."

4. Constantly being exhausted from trying to smile and not look like a witch.

5. And on the rare occasion your facial expressions show how happy you are, your friends think you are going crazy.

6. Each of your friends has said "I thought you were so mean when I first met you" at some point.

7. Then they follow that by saying "you are just hard to read."

8. So naturally if people do not know you they just assume you are a snob.

9. And when you are actually mad, your facial expressions are horrifying.

10. In the end you always look like you are judging people, when in reality people are ALWAYS judging you.
