While the list may ultimately be endless, you hear a lot of the same phrases and questions when you work a retail job. Most of them are reasonable statements while others are...not.

Here are seven of the most commons questions you hear if you're lucky enough you have a job in retail, and some myths behind them.

1. Do you have it in the back?

Okay, so let's get this straight. Most of the time the elusive "back" of the store is boxes of hangers and back stock shipment, it's not a magical land of extra clothing that we just decide to not put in the store so you'll have to ask us about it. Other times the back of the store looks like an actual warehouse and we have to climb shelves of back stock to reach the thing you want, it's a tragic mess.

2. Can I get an extra discount on this?

This has a microscopic pull in the sleeve that no human eye could possibly see, can I get an additional 20% off? No, no you can't. We could literally give you like 5% off.

3. When does this sale end?

Most of the time in higher end retail store, you NEVER know when a sale will start or end, like literally no one tells us so it's impossible for us to tell you.

4. But your website says you might have one in stock? Where is that one ?

Our mobile stock inventory does not update every second, and this store is huge, so I am going to look for you, I promise I'll look, but if I find this one dress in the exact size you need, it will be a miracle and you are one blessed human being.

5. Is that the line?

No, that's just a gathering of people standing in a line, in front of the cash register for no reason.
