3. When 9 of the 10 items a customer brings to the register don't have tag.


4. When a customer calls your store on the busiest shopping day of the year to ask you what your sales are.


5. When a customer is denied for a store card and they act like it's your fault.


6. When a customer walks in two minutes before close even though you've been open for 12 hours.


7. When a customer asks if you have a particular item in the back.


8. When a customer swipes their card after you've scanned one of their 40 items.


9. When your entire store is already 50 percent off and they ask you if you have any coupons.
