The only thing that can keep Val calm and occupied is Vox.

Ya’ll, Valentino is a goddamn iPad kid.

I WANNA BE A ROCKSTAR, A STUNT ACTOR, A FISHERMAN, A SCREENPLAY DIRECTOR. I WANNA KNOW HOW TO PLAY MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS, I WANT TO TRAVEL THE WORLD, I WANT TO FLY TO SOAR. THE WORLD IS BIG, IT'S SO BIG AND SO POSSIBLE. SO SO IN REACH BUT YET I LAY HERE IN BED DREADING THE MORN FOR I MUST GO TO WORK AND COME HOME EIGHT HOURS LATER DRAINED AND EXHAUSTED.

retail employees deserve a veterans discount for all bullshit they have to put up with.

after hearing "simply having a wonderful christmas time" by paul mccartney 74 times while working in retail, I came to the conclusion that they shot the wrong beatle

So... The store I work in sells... Herbal enhancements. And most of them have ridiculous packaging and names.

Our vendor always packs "samples" of other products no matter what we order.

This one came today.

And now all I can think of is Umberto From @facts-i-just-made-up Valhalla series

I wanna do something for my night crew bc stress is HIGH! But I don't want to do the normal baked good scenario, and they all don't work the same nights.

Unless I bake something myself and hand them out like goodie bags.

I feel like it needs to be bigger then food though, even though that is magic around there.

Idk I feel like I'm going into a bigger position then I am but they are all just killing it with what we have to deal with.

Yes I'm aware this will exclude the day folk but....honestly I don't work much with them. We aren't in the mud together like we are at night. I mean yeah we cross hours sometimes but that's not...it's a whole different environment. I'm making it sound more chaotic than it is but it's really day vs. night at my job.

Anyway if you made it this far I guess I'm asking for suggestions. Thank you.

Dnd character idea, a barbarian who is a retailer worker and is fueled with rage from years of working retail and one day snapped.

i think having worked a retail or food service job actually is more important to not being a loser than doing drugs or having sex. the poll that showed so much of this site has never worked one of those jobs was actually way more concerning to me than any of the celibacy sweep polls

Last Christmas, I gave you my heart, but the very next day you gave it away. This year, to save me from tears, I'll change the way I think about gift-giving and accept that it's about giving the recipient what they want, not what I think they should have.

Today at work, I heard a lady say “this cart doesn’t go straight, it won’t work right” and I had to literally fight myself with every fiber of my being not to go, “ma’am. I’m don’t go straight either and I also don’t work right.”

[space-bowl]

Unconditional love.

Based on this meme, shoutout to whoever made it (I saved it a while ago so if you see this and it's you, please let me know!):
