Retail is one of the worst jobs. You get cocky customers who think they are always right. You get threatening and abusive language. Get shoplifters that deny shoplifting and it complicates the situation. You get some employees family member that comes in and asks for a discount

Stores are adult playgrounds. I never thought of it like that.

Only in retail have I witnessed a middle age man just take his clothes off and take a dump in the electronics aisle.

Managers overriding you by going against store policy just to appease a customer who can't accept they're in the wrong. Especially when they're is no justifiable reason to. Not only does it undermines staff morale. It's not fair on customers who understand and accept store policy. I had a colleague once tell me "customer is always right". I laughed because that saying came from Savile Row, a company that makes tailored suits. Makes perfect sense in that context, but not applicable when it comes to company policy. Otherwise just about every company would go bankrupt.

That why I work in the back when in Retail. The work would usually be back-breaking but at least I don't have to deal with the customers 90% of the time.

Man, you hit the nail right on the head, working retail is awful. I had a sales associate job at guitar center during college and I am SOOOO glad that I don't work there anymore. It's just a toxic atmosphere.

I was at a retail for seven months, and due to the lack of career growth opportunities in that location, it ended up being a dead end job. I left it for the military.

I took 2 years off College in 2016. Went back in 2018. Retail is LITERALLY THE MAIN REASON why i went back to school. I told my self i NEVER EVER want to do this again. I graduate in the summer and I CANNOT WAIT 😩 Retail SUCKS

I'm not sure I could ever go back to retail..... A common senario: Me: Explains to the customer Customer: I want to speak to a manager Manager: tells them the exact same thing I just did

Yeah it's incredibly soul crushing. I hate it when the managers put me in departments I'm not familiar with and customers ask me for help every 3 seconds especially when there's too many customers and not enough staff so I often get in trouble for others mistakes.

I work at TJMaxx and the way adults act is absolutely ridiculous. The toy wall is insane. They’ll let their kids rip toys out of boxes and make tons of messes on the floor while they go take tons of shirts off of hangers and drape them over the rack. Nobody has any respect at all. Oh and don’t forget last night when I had to run up a lady 10 minutes past close (many problems happened in this 2 seconds that I won’t even address) only for her to be like welp let’s go find so and so something else as a gift and WENT BACK TO SHOPPING.

I worked at the same store and experienced everything you said in the video. We had the added bonus of managers telling customers the reason associates told them we couldn't use expired coupons is because the associates misunderstood the coupon rules. It made a lot of customers come in with the assumption that all associates except the managers were dumb. The worst part is that whenever we tried overriding the register to use expired coupons to avoid this situation they would still make us look dumb in front of customers anyway. It was just a lose lose scenario.

Working in pet retail makes me lose faith in humanity several times per day. Between people asking if they can house guinea pigs in terrariums made to transport crickets (aka TINY) or stuck up cat people asking that I clear the store of any dog and/or dog smell before she brings in her finicky feline fucker... *sigh*. I love animals, that's why I took the job, but people are just so difficult to like, nevermind love... -_-

The introduction was so funny. I liked the video. I can relate because I also work in a cloth retail store. The only part I don't know or never had to experience is the old coupons thing since I don't work on the counter. But everything on this video is very real. So true.

I worked at target seasonally and thank fucking god it was only seasonal. lesson learned.

God… I’ve been torturing myself with retail since the 90s. I know there’s so many better things out there, but I just like mindless occupations. But everything this guy says is 100% true. Just be glad you’ve never had to work in a discount variety store Suches Dollar General or Family Dollar. At this point in my life, I’m selling paint. And honestly, that’s a lot better. But… It’s still retail.

I am cracking up!!!!!!!!! I was trying to look up how to enjoy working retail hoping someone had some magic in their pocket. Instead, I found this hilarious flipping gem! Thank you!

Oh my gosh. I feel the pain to man. I myself currently work retail, and have been for little over 2 years. I mean I knew retail was going to be bad. I just didn't know it was going to be as bad as it is. I mean the customers literally throw their trash on the Shelf. Somebody please send help an extra large trash bags. the video was amazing by the way.

I worked retail for 16 agonizing years and all of this is true

Everyone else from other departments will come help later. = "Hey, where'd everybody go?"

Wow, how do you only have 70 subscribers! You're an amazing animator :) I subscribed, REALLY looking forward to more :)

Lol I had some lady argue with me saying the pair of pants she wanted were cheaper than they were and that the sign we had up was misleading, it was literally the only rack in the store that day that was actually priced right XD. So i told her no miss you have to look at the regular price on the sign, explained to her 3 times no it's not that cheap until final she said, "Well I'm gonna speak to the manager then and they'll give me the price so you might as well just give it to me now." And i looked at her like, B*TCH! What did you just say to me, is what my face conveyed to her without words. I couldn't believe this women's audacity and i could tell she knew i wanted to cuss her out, but instead i took a breath and was like, "Well then i guess you'll have to talk to a manager" Cause I for sure wasn't gonna give her a free ride if she wanted it she was gonna have to work for it XD. Pretty sure I saw the manager tell her no as well XD

Yeah whenever I got to a retail it's super annoying when I see stuff so disorganized cause of the customers like take just 5 seconds to put it back neatly it ain't hard

This is why I always stayed far away from anything that required me to interact with the customer on any level more than just "Here's your ticket, I'll take your car." and "I'll have your car pulled up in just a minute." Freakin' childish adults. I'd love to dropkick them all in the face.

Currently working retail. Someone like me (someone who doesn't like people generally) just isn't a good fit for it

Great video, been working in retail for 3 years now I’ve seen and heard it all 😒

Love your channel deserves more love

I’m the seafood coordinator for Kroger and one day I had a customer that I have never met in my entire life come up to me and cuss me out because we were out of whole chickens that were on sale for like 43¢ on a Sunday night

*Works in a casino* Customer: "Where's the bathroom?" Me: "Go towards the buffet and make a right." Customer: "So I have to go inside the buffet?" Me: "No. Its on the right side of the buffet." Customer: "So I go inside the buffet..?" Me: "No, its directly on your right at the buffet entrance." Customer: "So I go to the buffet and make a right?" Me: "Yes." Customer: "But you said not to go into the buffet." Me: "Sir. AT THE ENTRANCE of the buffet ON YOUR RIGHT. DON'T go inside the buffet, its on the right straight ahead. Customer: "Could you be more specific?" Me: *Flops head down*

This was really funny. Great presentation too.

Nice video! No way you only have 71 subs?!? Anyways good job you just earned a new subscriber

Cant believe you only have 780 subs!! Youre so good

Wow, this is really good! I can't believe you have so little subs?? Keep up the amazing work~

I'm thankfull for my parents raising me well. I would never be rude to a staff member (as long as they aren't rude and I don't mean exhausted and stuff but plain rude)

I like your style and tone. 😊

Retail is litterally the police force of jobs

This video is great :D you really deserve more subs man :3 ure awesome

SO MUCH FEELS! LOL i like a lot!!

Love the video dude :)

awesome video man

Being a marine and having worked in retail I now find people really disgusting

Lol I work in the fitting room and do all of the intimates Department managers bullshit I might as well be like the dm but nope. I feel your pain bro

I like my retail job-- by workers are really nice but the customers at my store suck

The 20 dislikes are from the very individuals you described in this video.

During the pandemic, stores aren't just playgrounds for adults. Nowadays, parents let their kids run wild through the store while they pretend to not see what's happening. I mean, their kids are little shit heads and I would want to have a few minutes away from them, too, but truant officer isn't part of my job description. The younger ones were easily distracted by toys (always keep a few in my department, just in case), but the older ones were pretty happy with gifts of alcohol or cigarettes. ;-) (J/K...maybe) Don't want strangers giving your middle schoolers tobacco and alcohol? Maybe don't let them wander around unsupervised at a big box store. The staff is looking for new drinking buddies...

I worked 3 years in retail (automotive) and I still have nightmares about that place, I think I speak for anyone that's ever worked retail when I say FUCK RETAIL

Am I the only one trying to find out what. Jk dollars really is?

I enjoy working at a Home Improvement store that encourages people to bring their pets. Yes, bring your pets and let them shit in our aisles.

People who don't clean up after them are the worst kind i mean yeah not really your job but mannn just folding back will not kill you

The first one is sears 😂

i hate retail so much, i cant wait to quit

can confirm that retail is not the best of job, but its kinda better when you only deal with things that aren't fabric

Worst part of retail is shit management customers will always be customers but a managers an assosiates can ruin your day ive finally quit my last retail job never again

I am actually gonna be applying to JK Dollars. Hopefully this won't be me.

1:34 The real name is Jc Penny’s so easy

This is great. I worked at dutch bros. It was a nightmare.

You was working at JCPennys

When it comes to old Coupons, why not just let them use it? The manager is obviously on board. You don’t own the store. Seems like the easiest solution for everyone is to just take the coupon.

working at retail store made me hate people a lot

Deadass. I just quit! Best thing I've ever done. Like wtf is wrong with people leaving their children's dirty ass diapers in the aisles and taking shits in the fitting rooms.

The store I worked at had a repeat customer who is a grump. He was quite angry when I, and the manager, wouldn't let him have a car part today, then pay for it tomorrow. Apparently, we were (to his credit, he used more polite words than this) bastards for not trusting a trustworthy customer. He was trustworthy in this respect, but if he didn't pay up tomorrow, I could easily have been fired if any of the higher-ups noticed. Oh, and he threatened to take his business elsewhere. I said nothing, and had a blank expression on my face as I watched him walk out of the store. I instinctively knew that any attempt at response would have resulted in my pleading with him to carry out his threat. He came back a week later. He doesn't come around anymore due to health problems. I have to remind myself to sympathetic.

SUGAR 😂

Sahhhhhhhh dude.

I feel bad for you and clip cake

Ha this is so funny

Lol so funny

Did u work in Primark?

Why did your into play two times in the video xD

Where'd he go?

Working in retail, we have a bunch of crack addict's prete d to shop... i.e. bring in a bunch of clothes into a changing room, and snort cocaine, do drugs in the rooms, the thing is that you can hear them snorting stuff, and then yelling in euphoria 5 seconds afterwards. Then leave the store with all the stuff they brought in scattered across the floors..... i hate my job

It's expired....SO!!

Just be glad you didn't work flipping burgers at a McDonald's

Did you used to work JC penny’s lol

I'm not Mexican I'm Hispanic

I was the opposite. I enjoyed the checkout process rather than folding clothes 🤣

When some loser decides to get chicken wings at the deli counter and walks thru the store eating them, then hides the bones in the sheet department. Hated retail. If your an introvert, stay away.
