A Final Toast From Misty Meanor
Misty Meanor here. With Retail Hell Underground coming to an end, I figured it was time to raise my glass of soda one last time and sound off one last time. I had a brief job working at a party store, and all I can say is that when Halloween comes around, so do the piggy crusties! People...
Aw, guys. *wipes eyes* I'm glad to have been a part of this community!

Thanks For all the Retail Hell Fun RHU!
Wow, RHU, I can't believe it's finally here! I'm going to miss you all so much. I don't want to stop posting but I know I have to. The time has come for Retail Hell Underground blog to slow its roll to a stop. My fellow skullies, Jason and Carolanne are heading off into our retirements! Wh...

Thrift Store Hell: Tiny Updates And Goodbye to RHU
From Puppies in Prada Soo... this is probably going to be my last post ever on RHU. I'll see some of you on RHU Facebook, I guess. Unfortunately, I don't have much to close out on other than a few signs of hope. First: the new manager has been selected. Apparently she was a manager for a Star...
Well, I do prefer my cakes free from sliced bread.

Supermarket Signage Slip-Up

Heh. Fun thing is, "bong" is literally Korean for "rod" or "stick", which I assume refers to the shape of the fish sausage...

Cigar Store Monstrous Customer Tale with a Twist
Former Cigar Shop Manager Joe, August, 2009: It's five minutes before closing. A distinguished-looking gent walks in. (Think British actor Derek Jacobi.) I ask if he needs any help; he waves me off and enters our walk-in humidor. After a few seconds, I notice that he looks upset about someth...

I should have told an employee about the lady I saw doing that, but my flabber was so thoroughly gasted that I didn't even think about it till I was on the way home.

Old People Hell: The Carpet Custy
From Marv, June, 2009, I owned my own little corner of Retail Hell, a pipe shop in a major suburban mall. One morning an old couple came in to sniff the tobacco and shoot the breeze. They were dressed in their finery as it was Sunday and I expect they had come to the mall direct from chur...

From RHUer, January, 2010 : I work in a bookstore, and basically do whatever needs to be done- shelving, sorting, pulling, register, cafe. You need it done? I can probably do it. It's a job- I've been there too long to really care anymore. But this little gem last night??? Oh boy!!! Now,...
