12 Things You Will DEFINITELY Learn When You Work Retail

Ashley Denton

1. The Customer is NOT Always Right!

I'm sorry, but it's true.

2. Just because you frequently shop there, it does NOT entitle you to free products

If we gave you free product than we'd have to give EVERYONE free product and then the company wouldn't be making any money and I'd be out of a job. So NO! You're not getting free stuff.

3. And NO! If it doesn't have a price tag, that DOES NOT MEAN ITS FREE!

The joke was funny the first 200 times I heard it.

4. People come up with the craziest excuses for returning things

You don't even want to know some of the ones I've heard...

5. Getting time off for the holidays is pretty much impossible

Seriously, though... What is a day off?

6. When you feel you have given all you've got and still feel your sanity slipping away...

Maybe if I just smile and nod they'll think I'm paying attention...

7. You “have” to be opened minded - you can't judge anyone on their look, style, race, or gender

You would be suprised, some of the people who "look homeless" will spend the most money.

8. Everyone is dealing with something so don't take people’s attitudes personally - try and brighten their day!

Compliments just make everyone feel good... You never know what a kind word can do!

9. Just when you think you’ve seen it all, someone will always show up and surprise you

Well, that's a new one...

10. Seeing what people wore into your store will make you question humanity

I really question people sometimes... Like who dressed you?!?!

11. When the cashier asks for your name, email and zip code, you feel obligated to give it to them because you know if you don't, it will ruin their metrics

I always feel guilty when I don't give them my info because I know that if I don't, it'll ruin their metrics and I know personally that that's a huge pain

12. You have a love-hate relationship with floorsets - you get to see all of the cool new stuff, but it's a pain…

You either love them or you hate them... There's no in between

The Perks of Being a Girl

“I just want you to know that you’re very special… and the only reason I’m telling you is that I don’t know if anyone else ever has.”

Marywood University

The women who are taking over the television game

We Heart It

Over the past decade, television has undergone a very crucial transition: the incorporation of female lead characters. Since it's a known fact that girls actually do run the world (Beyonce said so herself), it's time for the leading ladies of the small screen to get some credit. Without these characters, women would still be sitting in the background of our favorite shows. These women are not only trailblazers for female empowerment, but role models for women worldwide. With that, here are 15 of the smartest, sassiest ladies gracing our screens that remind us that women do, indeed, rule:

Queen B always had the best life lessons.

It's okay to be crazy sometimes.

You never give up on the people you love.

Always know your own worth.

Don't take shit from anyone.

Tights are not pants. But leggings might be...

It's always okay to break down once in a while.

There's nothing that can't be solved by a shopping spree

Stay classy, even if you're pissed off.

You never need to act on your emotions.

No matter how rough it gets, it could always be worse.

Be dedicated to your own success.

And if people don't love you, that's okay.
