Anyone who works in retail gets to see the bad side of everyone. From yelling moms wanting a refund for a table their toddler broke (but swears they bought it like that), to sneaky teens trying to sneak jewelry in their purse, you have seen it all.

This is for the tired cashier who just wants to go home, the poor people stuck cleaning up fitting rooms, stockroom peeps, janitors, and anyone else who works in retail.

People are RUDE! Especially to customer service personnel.

WE ARE ALL PEOPLE!!

Next time you are in a store, and you get annoyed with a worker just remember that we are all people and no one is perfect, and they're just doing their job.

Here are some reminders us retail peeps want to remind everyone else for our sanity:

1. I am just the cashier, I have no control over the pricing of a product.

Please don't get mad at me I just scan the items and put them in bags... I don't price product... I'm just a cashier..... Quit.... Yelling..... At..... ME

2. I have my bags and I am walking out the door, so please don't ask me to help you find something for 20 minutes.

Y'all, it's just common courtesy to let the tired worker leave and GO HOME. There are plenty of other people that can help you.

3. "Can I speak to your manager?" People are the WORST.

Speaking to my manager won't change the fact that I cannot discount product only because you don't like the distressing on it. sorry.

4. You wore that, DO NOT TRY TO RETURN IT

You and I both know that you tucked the tags in that dress and wore it to your New Years Eve party. I can still smell the alcohol on it, Karen. No, I cannot take it back even though you have the receipt and tags... Let's call it "damage control".

5. Just because there is not a price tag on the product does not make it free.

Some tired soul who has been in the back since 6:30 missed putting the price tag on that candle because ya know they're hUmAn, so no that doesn't mean it's free. Also, that joke isn't funny and never was.

Next time you walk into a store give the cashier a big ole smile, and maybe thank them for acting like they're so interested in what you have to say. Customer Service people see the worst sides of everyone, so the people who are actually nice are appreciated and remembered.

Just be nice. Please. We just wanna go home

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
