1. Call us workers names

Just because we do not give you the answer that you want, does not mean that you have the right to call us names or report us to management, we will probably just end up making fun of you behind your back anyway.

2. Take tickets off of underpriced items and put them on overpriced items

No, I cannot give you that Lily Pulitzer dress for $10. We literally have a machine that looks up what tickets are, it gives us a price, name, and type of object.

3. Take things off hangers and deliberately throw it over the rack

I KNOW for a FACT that you weren't raised in a barn and that you definitely know that is the wrong place for it, so why do you have to do it? I actually watched a woman once on Black Friday take something off of a hanger, look at me, and then throw it over the rack and walk away.

4. Stay in the store until after closing

We have families too, you know, and a life. Go home, I do not want to be cleaning up your mess 45 minutes after the store is already closed.

5. Put a shit ton of items in a cart and leave them around the store, full

If you cannot afford it and know that you can't afford it, why put it in the cart in the first place?

7. Take a ton of items to the cashier and then give half of it back

Seriously?

8. Tell us your life story at the register

I do not care. I only ask 'how are you' to break the awkward silence.

9. Let your kids run amok

I love to hear children scream and watch them run around the store and mess everything up...NOT. TAME YOUR KIDS. We are not a daycare, you decided to have children, so you watch them.

10. Let your kids scream and cry

TAKE THEM OUTSIDE!!!! I do not want to hear that shit and neither does the entire damn store.

11. Try and price check for us

We have standards and items have to look similar or be the same brand, but you wouldn't know that because you don't work there. But stop getting mad at me because I'm doing my job.

12. Bring 20+ items into the fitting room

How are you capable of trying that much on?

13. Get mad when we don't give you the answer that you want

Sorry, but we do not have that item you saw in the store two weeks ago, and no, I do not know where it would be.

14. Cut us off if we ask if you want a credit card

It is our job, we have to do it. If you don't want one, please wait until after we get the words out of our mouths before you say no. You are just being rude.

15. Give change after I already put your money in the register

First off, I am not good at math. Second, it messes up the register. STOP DOING THIS.

16. Babble about how much something is and how it should be a different price

I do not make the prices, I only put the sticker on, if you have a problem with that, please do not talk to me about it because I do not care.

17. Compare us to other stores

If you don't like our store, please go to the other one you like so much more.

18. "Oh it must be free"

No, Debby, it is not fucking free, nor will it ever be.

19. When a customer asks "do you work here?"

No, I just wear this name tag and radio for no goddamn reason.

20. When a customer puts their money on the counter instead of just handing it to you

Oh really? How about I just throw your bags at your face, let's see how you like it.

21. "Do you have this in the back?"

The "back" is not some magical fucking unicorn world, what we have is what we have.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
