Your CD Case is Your Problem: Posted Jun 14, 11:14 PM in retail; It's been awhile since I posted any kind of semi-entertaining retail hell story, so I figured I'd make an attempt out of last week's eye-roller. Hopefully I may provide someone out there with some light amusement.
Customer Service: Posted Mar 14, 12:12 PM in retail; If anyone, for any reason, has to go into a retail job at some point in his or her life, I have some tips to offer up when dealing with customers. I've had retail jobs in some flavor for about eleven years now, so I know what I'm talking about.

I'm working in the movies department, so right away I derive more pleasure from helping customers search for a copy of Platoon than I do from helping them search for a stack of turquoise paper plates. And the POS system will be a little easier to navigate once I'm used to it.
It Figures: Posted Aug 01, 12:12 PM in retail; Yeah. So just as a quick follow-up: I did manage to get that banner posted last week. The gentleman, upon seeing the product, decided he didn't like it and wanted a refund. I mentally predicted this outcome. Why is it you can tell the customers that will be a gigantic hassle the moment they walk in the door?

There are some things I just have no business trying.
Posted about a year ago: A great many things, actually.
