1. Customers asking for something on the mannequin

“Can you take that shirt off the mannequin for me? And the jeans on the other one!”


2. Leaving your clothes in the dressing room

I’m not complaining about one or two shirts hung neatly on the hook. I’m referring to that mountain of clothes smushed against the corner of the fitting room. Do I look like your cleaning lady?


3. Window shopping

You know you’re not buying anything, I know you’re not buying anything, yet here you are messing up all the racks that I just fixed.


4. Coupon crazy customers

Listen, lady, this 10% off coupon expired in February; it’s JULY. So yes, I am serious when I said: “no, I'm sorry you can’t use this coupon.” Jeez.



5. A lot of returns

10 individual items, 6 separate receipts, and you paid for them with 3 different credit cards. Sure, no problem.


6. Last minute shoppers

Only five more minutes until the store closes and there’s still someone shopping. Put some pep in your step, I'm trying to go home!


7. Listening to the same music all day

There’s only so many times a day I can listen to “Closer” by the Chainsmokers without losing my mind.


8. Dealing with rude customers

Please tell me how it’s my fault that we don’t have that shirt in a medium anymore? Also, go speak to my manager all you want. The return policy says 2 weeks then it’s final sale, do you need your reading glasses?

I thought senioritis in high school was rough until I became a college senior about to go into the real world. I'm supposed to have everything figured out, right? I mean I went through four years of tough classes and serious self-searching (and crying). What I found overall was Senioritis sneaking up on me.
