It's the busiest day of the year, a day we spend weeks preparing for. The most miserable day for retail. Behind all of our smiles is a lot of caffeine, sugar, and sarcastic remarks.

1. "Is it time to go home yet?"

2. "No, we don't have any more out back. Yes, I'm sure, I've looked for every other customer who wants a size medium."

3. "Yes that is SERIOUSLY the line."

4. "No, there are no more cashiers."

5. "I need a drink after this. Make that two. Or the bottle."

6. "Did you not just watch me fold that whole table?"

7. "Yes, please take from the bottom of the stack."


8. "No, that sweater isn't free because it doesn't have a tag."

9. "Did you seriously just ask me how much this is. Can you read a price tag?"

10. "Yes, the sale applies to the jeans. Yes the sweaters, too. OMG, the whole store is on sale, it's black Friday."

11. "A return. On black Friday. Are you kidding me?"

12. "I don't make the prices."

13. "No, you cannot use your expired coupons."

14. "Think anyone would notice if I left?"

15. "Please tell me more about all the sales in the mall I'm missing out on."

16. "I actually think I might die from this heat."

17. "10th coffee of the day here I come."

18. "If I have to listen to any more Christmas music today..."

19. "No, I cannot throw away your completely full soda."

20. "Who do these screaming children even belong to?"

21. "Yes, let me go get my manager so she can repeat the same thing I just said because she has nothing better to do right now than deal with your miserable self."

22. "Yes, I know it's busy. Please tell me again."

23. "Let's go back to elementary school. Look with your eyes and don't touch that perfectly folded pile."

24. "I'll pretend to look in the back for a size of jeans we don't have so I can get a snack."

25. "No, I totally don't mind holding your things on my register so you can go look for items to add on in the middle of checking out."

26. "No, we don't have a public bathroom. Yes, I'm sure."

27. "Your shift is almost over. Sneak out quickly before they can ask you to stay longer."

28. "NO, I DONT MIND WORKING 6 MORE HOURS AT ALL."

29. *Exchanges multiple eye rolls with coworkers throughout the night.*

30. "This store is as messy as my life."
