Shoutout to that one customer I had years ago who cried while I explained a product to her and told me that my "confident way of speaking sounded arrogant and made her feel uncomfortable."

Really hope you got some help and are doing better.

who knew there were 10,000 covers of "winter wonderland" and that hearing it 15 times in one day would make me hate it so much

today i helped a customer find the ben & jerry’s pumpkin cheesecake ice cream and she said “i would slut myself out for this stuff” and bought four of them. good for her.

every time someone in my store complains about having to pay 10c for a bag I want to scream a little more about the literal floating island of trash in our ocean and the microsplastics leaking into our blood

Just thinking about the older woman who went to open our ice chest and the door legit came off the hinges so she just stood there holding the door in her hand like a shield, panic on her face as she looked around for someone

Me, a 21 yr old: *throws out my back at my retail job*

Coworker: You're way to young to have back problems!

I just grimaced at her but like. Maybe if you and our two other 50+ coworks didn't expect me to do all the manual labor and as much work as three ppl combined for minimum wage I wouldn't be throwing out my fucking back :))))

Also. Not my boss fucking whinging about being short staffed without me lmao

Humans of Tumblr, what are songs that always make you want to clean/other specific task?

I just discovered that since my friend and I both worked at this little boutique with the same playlist, we have been conditioned to clean surfaces as soon as we hear the song Don't You Want Me by the Human League.

I have too many co-workers on my Facebook, but I want it into the world that I applied for another job, and am looking for good vibes!

It'll certainly be more anxiety inducing than my current one, but will mean no more public transit (walking distance), summers off, and benefits 🥺❤️

[gloriousmonsters]

picturing Velvette huddled up on a Hell doorstep 2 hours after she arrived making a list of possible ways to get some power as quickly as possible on a bloodstained cellphone she took off a corpse and it's like

create startup, get aqui-hired

become first hellfluencer

sugar daddy?

startup + collab with a celebrity for more attention

celebrity boyfriend?

become already powerful couple's third, profit

actually find people to work with who respect and value my skills and me as a person <- this one is a joke

and then a year later she's in bed, awake after vox and val have nodded off for once, looking at mockups of the Vee tower design on her phone, and brings up the old list for just a minute to cross everything else out and write in 'all of the above???'

THERES SO MANY NUMBER & LETTER CODES THAT PROBABLY MEAN SOMETHING, MY ADHD ASS CANNOT! 😫

This shit has to be as hard to remember as the retail codes at grocery stores. 🤯
