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.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

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.
