      When your store has very clear signage as to what tills are open, also you are standing at your till, and the group of also sentient human beings look at you like they just shit on the floor needing direction as to wich till they should go to, so you pspspsps, until they all follow the audible cue.

      😡

      As someone who works in IT and has worked retail, I can tell you that it’s honestly not that different. The only real difference is that I’m getting screamed at over the phone instead of in my face, so I can just mute myself and set the headset down while I wait for them to shut up.

    3. Retail service personnel are like ticket checker in Noah’s arc, they have to deal with all sorts of animals.

    4. Retail workers probably get a hundred new horror stories to tell every couple of months.

    5. Corporate clients act just like the dumbest most entitled idiots you have to deal with in retail. In fact, I’d surmise they are likely a lot of the same exact people.

      You deal with Dunning Kruger idiot during marketing and sales call. 6 hours later, that person is at Trader Joe’s torturing one of their staff over maple cookies not being in stock despite being directly behind idiots head on the shelf where they belong.
