got my job, and i have to say retail blows!

You cant fix stupidity. There's no medication or even therapy cant fix customers stupidity.

Do you work for a retail co? Hows life over there?

I worked for JC Penny while I was a senior in high school. Fun job for the time, but i agree there is stupid and then there is consumer stupid.

jjmusicnotes:
I work retail in the summer time.

The delivery guys keep the day fresh.  As for dumb customers - I like to have fun with them.  The most fun part is when they don't realize I'm having fun with them.

For me it was Lidl's, aaaaaaaahhhhhhhh. Clearing up after them was infuriating, why the F**K do they insist on taking from the back, even when it's tins dated 2013, they even did it with the frozen pizza's for Christ sake.

As a Famous Footwear employee, I laughed so hard when I saw this thread title. We just got out of our busiest weekend of the year due to the back to school season. The job itself isn't bad, but when you work seven out of eight days repeating yourself every three minutes for hours on end can really get to you. The people can really be ignorant and blame us for that ignorance. But in contrast, some of the people that you can meet are pretty cool if they're regulars.

I think that the best thing about my job are the people that I work with. We're a pretty close-knit group and we all get along very well, so that adds to our overall attitude and mood.

I remember when I was a teenager how cool it would be to work in a mall. Now that I have been for a year, I have no interest in going to one at all anymore.
