15 Tweets That Perfectly Sum Up Working In Retail
DVDbash

If you work in retail, bless your soul. It can be a fun job when you're scheduled with the best coworkers, or it can be absolutely miserable and you're counting the seconds until your shift is over. Regardless of the store, all retail workers know that the struggle is real. Twitter just happens to be the best way to let everyone know how real that struggle is.

1. What actually happens when you check the back room

3. There's a time for customer service and a time for gossip

There's also that great time when you get to gossip with your coworkers about customers

4. Sometimes it's easier to go into work instead of getting coverage

The excuses I've heard from my coworkers are definitely something to laugh about, except when your uncle's hamster is actually in town...

5. The struggle of having money or having a social life

I want to go out but I also need money to go out. Ya feel?

6. Every minute off the floor is precious time

7. Leaving early is a real treat

It's like when you had a half day in elementary school. You're not going to stay when there's an option to leave.

8. "Can I speak to your manager?" are words to roll your eyes at

If you're wrong after both the sales associate AND the manager spoke to you, just know we're going to laugh about it for a good 2 days.

9. If you're dropping a crazy amount of money on clothes, just donate $1, please.

At some places, we're just asking you to round your $46.89 total to a $47.00 total to feed some hungry kids.

10. Put the clothes back where you found them!

Sales associates spend hours after the stores close just to put clothes back that customers leave everywhere. Also, don't leave the clothes on the floor and all over the fitting room. Give it the associate, hang it on the rack nearby, just don't leave it on the floor.

11. What is a weekend?

Saturdays are for the sales associates.

12. There is no such thing as free

13. "Do you work here?"

No, I don't work here. I just enjoy wearing clothes from the store and a name tag. The walkie talkie and ear piece are just to make me look a secret agent.

14. How orientation goes when you're a vet

The innocent new person will laugh uncomfortably, but they don't know how precious the bathroom is when the stress of the sales floor gets to you.

15. The worst betrayal comes from your favorite coworker

Whether your favorite coworker is going on vacation, quitting, or leaving for school, it's painful watching them go. Having good coworkers makes every shift great and gives you a reason to not call out.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
