The retail industry is challenging at times to say the least – and if you’ve ever experienced it, you’ll know all of these to be true AF…

1.The Regional Manager coming to visit your store is terrifying…

It’s basically the same level as having Miss Trunchbull as a headmistress.

2. You wonder what it must be like to be a normal working individual who gets to experience both a Saturday and Sunday off work…

Ahhhh, that would be the life.

3. Sometimes customers give you waaay too much information which was definitely not something you should have to deal with…

Like the guy who wanted advice on which herbal tea to buy to help with his manhood issues *shudders*

4. “There’s no price on this one, does that mean it’s free?!”…

What a HILARIOUSLY original joke right?

5. Some days you go home after a shift with jaw ache from fake smiling at customers for too long…

RBF is so much less painful to rock, ammiright?

6. Getting asked if you work here. When you’re wearing the companies very identifiable uniform…

Nah babe, thought this would look cool as a fancy dress costume, what do you think?

7. When you’re asked to come back from your break early because it’s gotten busy…

When you only get a sh*tty 15 minutes for your lunch anyway.

8. Sometimes staff discount is the only thing that makes your job bearable…

Like, literally the only thing.

9. Getting asked to search for something out the back…

Why certainly ma’am, I will ‘look’ for that right away…*queue the fake searching*

10. Finishing your very-pleasing-to-the-eye front of store display…

Only for someone to come along and mess it up 5 minutes later.

11. Perfecting your most genuine “I’m really sorry about that” tone of voice and facial expression…

Truth: We’re not even sorry in the slightest.

12. You suddenly become a model customer in other stores as you realise the pain and suffering the workers in there have to go through…

*Puts unwanted item back where it originally came from*
