Discount Store Hell: Bad Mom Protects Her Thieving Hellspawn
From March, 2010: This is Redheadactress. When I read the story of the person who worked for *Smosh Mess for Less* I knew I had to post. Unfortunately, I also work for Smosh Mess for Less. And I hate it. In fact I am currently attending bartending school so I can get away from this crap job....
That is a sign that she uses that line so often, it's become her default setting.

The Race Card Backfires
From Steph I actually saw an absolutely hilarious encounter in my pharmacy of the race card being pulled. Pharmacist, who is black: "Unfortunately, your insurance won't cover your prescription. I'm afraid you'll be charged the full amount for the medication. It's going to cost you $$$. Do you...
I'd put money they probably weren't TV, but if OP could let us know that would be great.

Bad Retail Slaves: Having A Disability Doesn't Make You Untouchable?!
From BossLady I had an employee who called out on her SECOND day on the job and continued to call out once or more per week for each of the twenty some weeks she worked for us. Firing took for-fricking-ever thanks to HR but I jumped through all their hoops because this constant calling out wa...
Yeah love it when those idiots get to meet one of my coworkers, Mr. Dialtone. Not a great conversationalist but man he can drone on forever.

From NyxErebus Oh gods! The memories from the trenches! O_o *curls up into a fetal ball, rocking to and fro* I still don't know how I survived five years working mobile service for a large company here in Canada that rhymes with Hell Mobility. People are such idiots. One christmas period, I w...
Yeah he totally earned that. How hard is it to say "okay, this is the issue I'm having, a d tbis is what I've already tried..."
You'd be surprised how quickly you get help when you're not acting like a two year old having a temper tantrum.

Yeah I wouldn't have signed those write-ups either. It's not your fault she is screwing around on her husband and then put HIS CONTACT INFO on the order.

Retail Hell Memories: How I ruined a marriage with one phone call
From u/maladygris Tales From Retail: So a few years ago I worked in a furniture store. In the store you could apply for a credit card to finance your purchase. I had an older lady come in (probably mid 50's) with a man in his 20's whom I assumed was some sort of family member. So we put thro...

Pretty much yeah. I'd hate to be the employee that has to tell her that she just got flat out lied to by someone she thinks is a manager. That is going to be a shit storm for that department when she inevitably threw a complete fit and started screaming at everyone in sight.

I ldon’t Be hear stories. Please continue to submit them! God I cannot imagine that laptop being used a server... I do tech support and I know even on the best of days that would have been painfully inadequate for even a small office to be able to run anything efficiently on.
