#I fucking hate retail

[mischiefbuckley]

work environment so bad I be thinking about 911/buddie while helping out customers and avoiding certain people

[wimsiecal]

Okay so

I need to get the fuck out of retail. I'm so so sick of neurotypical people thinking I'm being rude just because I'm exhausted and burnt out and cannot mask anymore. Had a customer just start telling me I had an attitude in front of a whole line of people, misgendering me the entire time, and started lecturing me about how I should smile and that I'm being rude and he's worked retail and blah blah blah and everyone in line was agreeing with him. I started shaking, I was having a panic attack. He came back in later to "apologize", framing me as if I were the one in the wrong, said he was also "rainbow" and sorry if he came off homophobic but "ma'am" is just how he addresses people respectfully. I proceeded to tell him how wrong it was of him to start talking to me like that in front of everyone and I started shaking violently again, could barely get my words out, explaining how I was autistic and he brushed it off like "oh yeah I mean I've worked in this store before and a smile goes a long way"

I'm so fucking done

Anyway if anyone has any suggestions as to jobs I could look into that don't involve a lot of contact with people at least face to face or could maybe help me that would be wonderful. Please. I am so very desperate.

calling off work tmrw bc one of the employees wont stop threatening us🤸🏽‍♂️

shes worked here for 4 years and apparently around the holiday season she gets put on leave bc her mental health gets really bad.

idk what she has and i dont care bc she will not stop harrasing us. not only that, she is incredibly racist and isnt afraid to show it.

im mexican and a good chunk of our employees are brown, most are still minors in high school. i worry for them bc shes harrased and gone as far as stalking and showing up to one of our coworkers house, all because shes black.

management also lied to us. they told us she was done today but apparently she isnt. shes coming in tmrw for a 1 to 10pm shift and i work the exact same shift. no fucking thanks. this woman has assault charges against her and is very capable of harming any one of us. bc shes been getting physical with other employees and like. im not fucking dealing with that. these past few weeks have been a literal nightmare. my fucking god im so sick of it. its not fucking fair that i have to come to work and fear for my safety all because of her

Idk if I'm just bitter but something about customers who don't say hi or hello or even "'scuse me?" But just start talking and assume I'm listening really pisses me off.

Also side note when I'm serving customers over the phone and they try and butt in so I help them like bro there's one of me.

Okay last last one. Being begged to hold things. Screw you we have no room at all. I don't care if you'll only be 2 hours or your partner will pick it up after work. 80% of the time they never do.

I'm so tired of phrases like "anti-woke". Just say you're a racist/homophobic weirdo.

Hi, I just finished reading Hunger Pangs and was thinking about how little sex scenes it had and it suddenly occurred to me that I may have read the wrong version. I bought the red one, Flirting with Fangs, as an ebook on Amazon. That's the sex one, right?

Yep! Hunger Pangs is a slow-burn romance series, so it takes a while to warm up. (That and I had to cut book 1 into two books, so a ton of scenes got cut X_x) Plenty more in book 2 :D

There's also a difference between romance and erotica, so the ratings apply to those different genres. Which admittedly, a lot of people blur the two, but I was trying to avoid getting my debut queer romance novel shoved into the erotica dungeon on Amazon (it sort of fucks your algorithm reach a bit).

This hilariously actually happened to the Fluff edition at first, but that's because there's a well-known homophobe who works on censoring during the weekend, and he tends to lump all queer stuff as erotica. (Fuck you, Carlos 🖕.)

Now that I've got the first book out the gate and a couple of the shorts, I can get away with more 😅
