Well, maybe that's an exaggeration. But when you witness a coworker, a friend, get treated so badly that she starts to cry thanks to a random asshole customer, you start to realize that a large portion of this country is greedy, asinine, cruel, and basically NOT VERY NICE.
Don't think that just because we're twenty-somethings working in retail, you can walk all over us. Hey, guess what? We're working two jobs and putting ourselves through school and we deserve respect. What the fuck have you done lately? Yeah, we make shit for money, but we're just trying to get by with some dignity.
Here's some advice to America's clueless consumers: Get a fucking clue, get the cell phone away from your ear, put a smile on your fucking face, and fucking treat us like humans, not your personal servants. Pick up after yourself. Put things back where they belong. When I greet you, fucking acknowledge me. I do not answer to, "Hey!" I have a bloody name. Don't bitch about prices...there's not a fucking thing I can do about it. Don't show up and expect to be able to browse when it's five minutes before we close. We don't get paid overtime so that you can look around at your leisure and then not fucking buy anything. Don't you have better things to do?
Oh, and watch your idiotic offspring. Put them on a leash, please. My mother would have beaten me in the middle of the store if I'd acted the way your little sticky-fingered, whining monsters do. No wonder this world is going to shit. If these children are our future, I want nothing to do with it.
I'm moving to the middle of the fucking forest in Nova Scotia or something. Fuck.
P.S. I think we all should be required to work a retail job for two years, so that everyone can experience being treated like shit. Maybe then, we'd realize how much it hurts.
