#the joys of working in retail

[introvert-celeste]

I have to work today (Labor Day) and I think that's a crime.

[thisisyourdriverspeaking]

Mad how customers are allowed to treat retail workers & service workers like absolute shit & speak to us like we're beneath them yet we are just expected to take it

Petition for customers to stop commenting on my acne and overall appearance…

i can't stop thinking about the woman at work yesterday who asked me if a generic red children's sweater was for boys or girls, to which i responded "i'm not sure but i think it can work for either." and when i tell you this woman looked SCANDALIZED, she looked so deeply offended that i would suggest such a sweater could be worn by either a boy or a girl. i don't think i've ever had a customer look that offended by anything i've said.

Joy looked like such a feral little kid

the combination of her limitless energy and her tendency to get bored and break/build things made her a terror to adults and a hero to the other kids

thinking about how the other day I felt happiness for the first time in a long time (like happiness about where I am at in life and joy for my future plans. Like I was working 8-4:30 and I was thinking about how I was going to do a few ubereats runs until 6ish after and then come home and get to write and crack open my kung fu binder again that I've been working with to prove to myself I'm ready to go back)

usually I just feel content at like a 5 sometimes if I go to a concert or whatever it can get up to 6,7,8. but that's it

and I have that persistent depression disorder. that i never remember how to spell.

So you can imagine my surprise when i genuinely just felt happy and at peace? And i had mania by fob album stuck in my head. life was good.

I then got sucker punched by my physical health symptoms that were really bad and almost collapsed and could not hold myself up so I was leaning on a cart not moving when it hit 4:30. And did not do anything that I planned to after work because of it.

BUT

the key is i felt happiness for the first time in forever.

I will never understand why people get so shitty when I ask for their email to send their receipt to. A simple 'no thanks' would be enough

she’s got a boyfriend she’s had since 2019 and she may not even like other genders other than males, so i don’t expect the feelings to be returned nor expect anything from her nor do i plan to say anything, but i sigh thinking about her bc she’s very cute lol
