i really hate bosses who use the "if you don't like it you can leave" excuse.
Malicious Compliance: "If You Don't Like It, Then Leave!"
From u/Throwinitawaymkay, MaliciousCompliance I work(ed) as a housekeeper at a small local hotel. At the beginning when I started (about three years ago), things were pretty peachy. I got above minimum wage and worked in an environment with a more relaxed working pace. We had more time than y...

Bathroom Signage: Please Don't Steal the Deodorant

I also hate people who feel the need to look through their wallet/purse by dumping it out on the conveyor (more room then using the little table near the card reader?)
Dumbass Customers: If you put paper-thin objects on a moving conveyor belt without telling anyone they will fall into the abyss and be gone forever
From u/PmButtPics4ADrawin, Tales From Retail: Was on register a while ago when I had what started out as a typical transaction. Woman came up, I greeted her, asked if she had a loyalty card and she simply said yes. She was still putting her stuff on the conveyor belt so I figured she'd gi...

"diamond ring"- that's like saying "here is a car." the value could be anything from 100- 10,000.

Thrift Store Hell: I'm Not Committing A Felony With You, Lady
From Puppies In Prada I have a new "Favorite" donation. Lady pulls up and gives me a box full of misc housewares. Like a bajillion little things in this box. Me: "Thanks for thinking of us!" Smile. Smile on the outside. Don't think about shooting her with Scotty's eventual deathray. Keep smil...

Balenciaga Gives Birth to Croc-enstein
From flyawaybreakaway: Saw this atrocity today.
What an @$$. Yes, Asian women are talkative.

Cashier Hell: Middle Aged Mom vs Tattooed Dude
From 957pm Tales From Retail: Setting: Working OT all week because we're understaffed and it's ten minutes AFTER closing. For once people are actually making an effort to hustle to the front of the store, but the line for the only lane open (moi's) is long and the natives are growing restles...

Customer Rejects: Apple Wants to Be a Necatrine
this made me smile.
Mistaken Identity: Sorry lady, I can't help you.
From kitty9020, I Don't Work Here Lady: I'm not sure if this counts since this actually happened to me while I was at work. The phone number at my work is 555-8217. People often misdial and end up calling our office instead of the lawyer’s office, doctor’s office or nursing home they are try...

as a San Francisco native- WTF?
1. San Francisco is a major city not a little town with a locally owned hotel.
(I imagine she could get away with that in MiddleofNowhere, Texas where the guy behind the counter is the owner's son.)
and 2. This is not the "season of love" or whatever they called the flower-child era.
Tales From The Front Desk: "What If I Have A Really Good [Censored]?"
From oppzorro, Tales From The Front Desk This happened a couple of years ago on the Audit Shift. It was 1:22am on a Saturday night. We were not sold out and of course, if you work in San Francisco, you know as well as I do that a non-sold out Saturday night, everyone and their mother is look...

From obviousplant
a normal person would put the extra key away in a safe place for the NEXT time they lose/misplace their keys.
Dumbass Custys: "You Can't Un-Cut Keys, Ma'am"
From itstheleviathan, Tales From Retail: So I'm a locksmith, I both go out on calls and stay at our shop where we sell locks, keys, safes, all kinds of stuff. It's just me and my dad that work here. This happened a few years ago but you usually remember the really fun customers. We were doi...
As someone in my 30's my mind would have assumed "lost item or lost person"
Dumbass Customers: Not Listening, But Enraged Over The Announcement Anyway
From HighAsARose, Tales From Retail: I work in a RSL in Australia, for those who don't know what that is, it's like a huge pub for retirees and half of the club is for gambling. On this night I was working in the change box as the cashier giving out people's winning. Me - Yours Truly R - Rec...
the total was probably more than they were planning on spending.
Pet Store Hell: "Well If I Have To Take Proper Care Of Them, Then I Don't Want Them"
From midnitebrz, Tales From the Pet Shop: To start out, I don’t work at a pet store but work at a big department store that sells some fish. I like fish and have read over the little factoids a couple of times, trying to decide on fish for myself. I know that the fish bowls are terrible, bu...
Taxi, bus, call your own damn uber....
Pet Store Hell: "I'll Be Waiting For The Uber You Will Be Sending Me"
From echeverialola, TalesFromRetail I got hired as a manager with a local pet store about three years ago now. I left my previous company because they were content leaving me where I was, and this new store was willing to promote me and give me a decent wage increase. This meant that I had t...
I'm tweeting this @target
Target doesn't staple some, they staple all of them
From JBSConCarne
When the for-profit colleges were getting called out I would see ads everywhere for for-profit colleges.
but yeah 'Pour with confidence' is a little twisted.
Ad Placement Fail
From UlrichOtalgia
strange on two levels.
1. don't eat the store brand tide pods.
2. If someone was to take a sample, would it be safe to put it in a pocket or purse?

hopefully, the signs are every few feet so some entitled parent doesn't put their kid up and say "But I didn't see a sign!"
This sign at Zoo in Wellington, New Zealand
From gagep932
Yeah, that sign only works when you have enough cashiers.
One time at a place similar to that the one cashier was taking orders, AND calling out the finished orders as they came from the back.
So i got in line with about 10 other people all of whom were placing orders.
So when I got to the front and showed him my phone receipt he said "You could have cut around the side."
um.. no.
that would have required i cut around an entire line AND attempt to interrupt you/catch your attention while you are taking orders from all of the people who did not place phone orders.
I can wait.
