try and stay away from retail work if you can. an example:
customer: do you have the bounty towels? me: no, we are all out of those today. customer: well, could you go out back and check? me: *pause*....sure. me: *outback wondering around aimlessly for a few minutes* me to customer: nope we are all out of those. customer: ok, well thank you for checking.
now this is one of the many idiotic things you will face in this kinda bussiness. i mean its not as....bad as the fast food industry but not far behind.
another thing is when a customer cant read a tag. or they are standing in front of something and ask me where it is, cause they have looked over the section 3 times. just ugh. many more things i cant even think of right now.

lol... yeah exactly... and we actually have customers like that sometimes... like this one lady tonight... she came in wanting to return some shoes and a purse that she bought... I dunno, but when I looked her in the eyes, she seemed sorta not quite right in the head... when I looked at her receipt, I saw that she had charged it to her credit card, so I let her know before I even started the transaction that I had to charge it back to that same card... she says "ok." I get all the way through to the end, ask for the card, and she says "you can't give me cash back?" I just looked at her...and was like "no, I told you earlier that I had to charge it back to the credit card that you used to pay for it originally." Some people just make me worry. lol. I ended up having to void the whole transaction, which is really such a damn hassle.... ugh. ???

lol yeah.. but that still isn't enough to pay my bills and stuff they really mean it when they say PayLESS........ my boss is pissing me off... she's a very two-faced type of person...I can't stand people like that.. she's nice to your face but the moment you're gone, she's talking trash about you to everyone else... she already ran off one of our employees, making her quit.. I told my two other co-workers that we should all just up and quit at the same time.. see how she manages without us. ??? but of course that's my anger talking, because I can't quit unless I have another job lined up...

that is why it is good to have a union to protect you.
