HILARIOUS!

I should have told him yeah and start throwing up signs

closed-minded female clients don't ask for no help, but the DTE girls are chill and already know males give the best advice for lingerie.

"what do you think would look good on me? *spins*" "can you find me something really slutty?" "how many girls have you $#%^ so far working here?"

also euro clients don't care. they will walk out the fitting room with v-string lingerie babydolls and ask for your opinion if they sexy or not. 

other customers in store always got that 

 face when foreigners do that, while I'm just posted giving them the 

 look.

I want your job.

eh, retail stock/merch flow supervisor gig @ Victoria's Secret. been doing it for 3 years and it's getting pretty tired now to be honest. 
6am shifts on sundays/mons to do floor sets(no sat night fun), dumb female co-workers talkin about drama, and simply mall life is wack. 

3+ more years of school to go. 

very true though.

lmao at this thread

 

[jumpmanfromdabay]

I worked at an outdoor concert venue

Customer "where is the grass?"

Me "right behind you"

 

[solewoman]

i work in it. this actually happened last week. 7am call....

"hi i think my computer is broken"
"ok what troubles are you having?"
"my keyboard is not plugged in"
"ok...um...there is actually a little usb port on the desktop where it goes in"
*in disgust* "can you just come over to fix my computer i dont know how to plug things in!"

smh

 

[jdi23]

Customer comes in the door.

Cust: I need to pay my bill
Me: Cool. We only accept cash for the bill payments
Cust: Huh. Yall don't accept checks
Me:

No just cash
Cust: What about credit cards?
Me: No

This happens at least five times a week too.

 

[big atz]

Just the other day a customer calls into my job and ask for a part

Me: I'm sorry sir no store in the city has your part but we can order it next day for you
Him: So your warehouse on 27th doesn't have the part?
Me: Our warehouse actually is on 74th and no the store on 27th doesn't have it no store in the city does but I can get it for you next day
Him: So your warehouse on 74th doesn't have it?
Me: SIR NO STORE IN THE CITY HAS THE PART IT'S A NEXT DAY ORDER
Him: Ok thanks anyway

Even if you don't look white or black why does that mean you can't speak Spanish?

Being in a place surrounded by white people that couldn't speak English. Frustrating as all hell.

Why didn't you just speak Russian or French to them then?

I guess he means that he doesn't look white or black so it's obvious that he'd speak Spanish. Either way it's dumb on his part, and a valid question to ask someone.

This just happened at my job now and it happens all the time. It pissesme off like no other. I got in a car accident last year and got alot of pretty big scars on my arms neck and one on the side of my forehead.

Since when is it ok to ask a random stranger how he got so scarred up? Like damn I got *%+*!# up. Just focus on your dinner and mind your business.

I've had 3 co workers ask me for money in the last month. I just tell them i got bills to, they spend it on weed anyways.

 

[guerillaunit]

I wasn't at work. But I do remember this one time at Target. I was wearing a black t-shirt, blue jeans, and black shoes. A customer goes up and says "do you work here?". Last time I checked, 100% of the Target stores I have been to, the employees wear a red top and khaki pants.
