10 Thoughts All Retail Workers Definitely Have

No, customer, you are NOT always right.

10 Thoughts All Retail Workers Definitely Have

When I'm home from school, I work at Victoria's Secret, and I've written about working there before, so I thought I'd try and relate to the rest of the retail population with some funny gifs.

1. When a customer has "had a bad day" and decides to take it out on you, and they expect you to be a peach back to them.

2. When a customer says "I came all the way here for this one thing and you don't even have it".

3. When the customer is asking for something crazy and they tell you "You have to give it to me because the customer is already right."

4. Because most normal people have 9-5 Jobs I have no friends when I work full-time.

5. When people try to use me for the discount I'll never give them:

6. When you see that huge group of teenagers come in who probably won't buy anything.

7. When someone asks "why is this so expensive?"

8. On the other hand, I've learned to become really OCD with some of my cleaning habits,

9. I know how to talk to people,

10. and I own enough PINK to last me a month without doing laundry.

There are plenty of things to complain about with any job, but if you work in the right store with the right people, your retail job really could make you WANT to go to bed at 2am after a night closing and WANT to come in to open at 9am or earlier the next morning.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
