Manager: we need more staff for the holidays!
Assistant manager: How about we use social media to make people think working retail for the holidays is great!
Manager: Sure! But don’t be too obvious.
Assistant manager:
basically:
(full disclosure i do not like lorenz (OOP) or what she has done to the trans community if that wasn’t already obvious; i encourage each individual to form their own opinion.)
What has she done to the trans community? I hadn’t heard of anything like this, so I’d like to read about it if possible.
To those people ITT actually discussing this tweet as if it’s real: Have you ever been to the corporate shilling place known as Reddit? The gaslighting there is so strong, it could give you a sunburn.
Now Twitter seems to go down the same route.To those people ITT actually discussing this tweet as if it’s real
I actually miss working retail…
x.doubt

holiday energy
entitled, impatient, rude adults acting like children?

She lied about calling Joe Biden a war criminal which is kinda based. I’d rather her own it than do it and pretend she didn’t but I don’t mind that she did
oh yeah, same. 👍 i too call biden a war criminal, along with all US presidents. she was correct.
she should have told the truth about saying it. and lying about it was a betrayal of her character as a journalist (along with other incidents).
I’d be more inclined believe someone who told me they missed having salmonella
I currently work in retail, it’s before Christmas, it’s shite
absolutely psychotic
I worked at a gas station in BFE and was allowed to pay whatever I wanted on my Bluetooth speaker. I got a real badass one on one black Friday sale and started playing my kinda Christmas music. i.e; the kinks, the Ramones, something corporate, etc.
It was pretty funny seeing all the rednecks brains melt in real time.
I’ve worked retail during the holidays and agree with the “Christmas energy” and helping people pick out gifts. It’s like everything is so disorganized and slightly off from normal that it’s almost like a dream. Like a post-apocalypse in which I have the skills to save everyone, because I know exactly where in the stock room we have that item that’s “sold out” in the system. Everyone adores me because I’m not only willing to sort the candles and frames, I fucking enjoy it.
e: I also have one of my playlists that’s “happy” themed. It includes All I Want for Christmas is You, and I will listen to it at any time of year at all.
i respect your opinion and talents expressed here 🫡
What about those of us that worked a retail job with a decent manager that didn’t play christmas music all day long on repeat?
if the customers are somehow also bearable honestly more power to you lol
That was my old retail job and I’d still rather slowly pick my fingernails out of my skin than go back to dealing with people, especially around the holidays. Managers and coworkers were all 10/10 and I’d love to work with them again. I don’t want to ever deal with the public again though.
I worked retail. Even though the manager was nice and mostly on our side, the christmas season was awful. It was loud, cramped and it felt like some people just came to take it out on the staff because they themselves are unhappy with their shitty miserable lives 🤬
