Customers: *throw temper tantrum over a .50 cent coupon for a greeting card and threaten cashier* Media:”why are retail workers quitting?”

You ever work with the public? Until you do you'll never know. They're terrible people.

Retail workers get shit on every day. Of course they’re quitting. And the same people complaining about nobody wanting to work retail are the same ones that treat retail workers like shit lol

Customers can be so rude, both my teenage daughters have been verbally abused, usually by middle age women trying to return an item they likely knew could not be returned anyway. No receipt, beyond the exchange date, or used. One worked at Bed Bath and Beyond and literally quit on the spot, left during her shift after a customer berated, called her names and poked their fingers at her over store return policies. Why do people think attacking the low level cashier is going to help over a corporate policy? Why is an 18 year old your verbal punching bag? We see it with flight attendants but there are a lot of miserable people walking around looking for targets.

Minimal Hours and Minimal Pay. After taxes and gas expenses... your left with nothing on your pay check.

Good for that young woman for leaving what was essentially an abusive environment and finding something better for herself. That took a lot of guts!

They are very rude. 10 years retail. We get absolutely no respect. Even from our company. Taking our incentives our vendors was giving us. Now the incentive is through the company and the goals they give us is impossible smh

Retail made me hate the public it made me so miserable it made me lose motivation to do anything. I would work a full time job 50 hours a week no time to relax no time for anything.

Trade all your hours for a handful of dimes...

Yeah I feel like my work site had been understaffed and under managed since the pandemic and I really am starting to not really care because I feel more like a robot than a human being and I don't have greener pastures to go to if I did I'd quit right away and never look back. Someone else can deal with the crazy customer trying to break into the break room because he heard a noise, someone else can deal with customers asking for stuff they saw somewhere else. Like I just want this nightmare to end.

Meager pay.... company rakes in billions in profit every year..... goodbye

I wonder if anyone watches and realizes they’re one of those rude customers

I left Best Buy after almost one year of working in NJ store . I left from I wasn't getting the respect I needed . I had a panic attack when I got home due to all the stress in one day .I work at check out store pick and customer serve . A good amount of the day i was on my own close to a month . I'm suppose to have someone with me but store manger keeps pulling to go to mobile and Computers and someday my manger at check out who have to and help out other department . I would get help after a huge line . all because we are short staff I didn't ask for a higher raise . Took zero sick days .If thing was better and we have plenty of help I would still work at best buy . But had a mental breakdown and almost had two black out in a month . And to get this I was alone to check the total close 90 - 100 times. And this is why we wish we have more entry level jobs besides retail . Like how why is trying to work in a office asking 5 years of office experience for an entry level job is for someone who got out of college/ high school

No surprise here. I can’t say I blame them. Move on and move up. With on-line shopping there will be fewer positions anyway.

17 years! WTF. Why would anyone stay in that job so long?

Retail is pure hell because of rude customers and horrible managers and corporate who have unrealustic demands. I have no soul working in retail .

Ha a crowded stock room everyone is getting hurt lifting heavy boxes with bad form

Amen.

All that OT and she isn't seeing it on her check? Build Back Better indeed.

Fuck retail.

America doesn't like Unions anymore for some reason. EU has this figured out. EU > NA?

Great News for them!

End the fed

Haters going to hate, lovers going to love, she don’t won’t retail. She wants more dollars 💸

Rudeness and no training employers can not train their people day two I am closing it's funny Wendy's was easy to close at but you work as a unit even Food Lion these other places it's all about the customers retailers should spend more time training their workers...
