The Life Of Retail As Told By Chandler Bing
metro

Working in retail has its highs and lows. At the end of the day, we might love or hate our jobs, but through all the ridiculous things that happen, all we can do is laugh. If you too are dealing with the craze of holiday greed in shopping malls, you'll relate to these shenanigans that we deal with in retail, as told through Chandler Bing and his witty humor.

"What can I help you find today?" *receives no response*

Like, can I at least get a "no thank you?" A smile?


When those extended holiday hours kick in.

I mean, we all stay up late. But not in the MALL for goodness sake, cleaning up fitting rooms piled high with inside-out jeans.


When a customer makes a super inappropriate joke.

No, I will not "assist you" in the fitting room but I don't want to get in any trouble, so instead of telling you that you're disgusting, I'm just going to laugh nervously and go hide in the back.


When a customer asks to speak with the manager, and your manager tells them exactly what you told them.

It's extra funny when you are the manager and they have no one else to run to. *evil laugh*

That one difficult customer that just WON'T GIVE IT UP.

Repeat the mantra: I love my job, I love my job, I love my job.


When you close the doors at closing time and realize just how much of a disaster your store is.

So many clothes, so little energy, and so little time.


When you finally get home and all you want to do is relax.

Please, I don't even want to look at an unfolded t-shirt.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
