Misty, this boy will probably spend Boxing Day and part of New Year's playing games on his new machine. He sounds more mature than his mom and it didn't ruin his Xmas.
Holiday Hell: Mom Spoils Christmas Herself
From Online Retail Hellion, December, 2009: Working for an online-only retailer may not have the piggy messes to clean up at the end of the day (and I have worked that terror before), but it does have the wonderful combination of everything else retail related, with the added bonus of phone-b...
The human mouth contains a ton of germs and biting another person can give them tetanus.
Bad Parents: Vampire Parenting
From: Riferous, March, 2010 I think that there has been a trend in the last couple of decades toward the absolutely ridiculous in terms of what is child abuse and what is good parenting. However, I did recently bear witness to what I would call incredibly horrible parenting. A woman and he...
What an awful mother! Her son was lucky it wasn't a truck that ran into him and dragged him like Gage Creed in "Pet Sematary"! CPS should be called about this woman!
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....
What a horrible grandfather to make his tiny granddaughter cry and blame it on the hotel worker when it wasn't her fault! Those parents of the wild kids were awful as well! Not a sober one among them to watch those hooligans!
Retail Hell Memories: Hotel Hell - The Sports Team From Hell
This story was originally posted on December 01, 2009 Hallway Troll is ready to take on those Piggy Custys: I have been working in the hotel field for almost 4 years now (The first two years I was in college, the past two I blame on the economy). While working at my first hotel we underwent...
This is the 2nd story I have read about naughty twins! TT, I agree the moms in both stories should have done something about their kids.
Cashier Hell: Bad Returners and Hellspawn Destruction
From T-Shirt Sponge, May, 2011 Oh RHUers. It's been crazy. I must admit I've been a little stressed, what with starting my new interpreting class, taking a motorcycle course, watching a girl have a random seizure in said course and almost die (before you say it - no epilepsy or seizure histo...
This horrible woman should pay for cake damage and teach her kid not to be destructive!
Piggy Shoppers: Your Brat Destroyed That Cake
This story was originally posted on December 03, 2009 Retail Slut Stevie, is getting a Retail Balls Award for this post on how she handled being in line behind a disgusting Piggy Shopper who attempts to lie.... First off, let me say that in the near five years I've been in the work force, I...
Two year old kids don't know their own strength and that is why at a petting zoo they have to be told not to squeeze the kitties and chicks. Otherwise, parents will have an "Of Mice or Men" situation on their hands!
Bad Parents: Message to a Piggy Mom
From a pissed off RHUer, August 2009: To the horrible mother who let her 2 year old strangle her infant with his arms (then praised the 2 year old for "giving your brother a hug").... THEN let her infant munch and slobber all over the receipt- you knew you were going to have to hand over th...
I volunteer at a nursing home and even the demented elderly people ask me to take them to the bathroom. I get a nurse to help them. It's very rude of this woman to urinate on the carpet unless she has a bladder infection. I had one at age nine and it made peeing painful and out of control! Throw Depends at this woman next time you see her. If this husband knows his wife is unsanitary and does nothing to help her, he is contributing to her problems!
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...
If this mom doesn't nip her twins' behavior in the bud now, they will be like the British twin gangsters the Krays brothers.
Hellspawn Tales: Hallmark Store Attacked By Twins
From RHUer, February, 2010 : I've been in retail for almost three years now (working my way through school), and reading the horror stories on this blog makes me go, "Yup. Been there, dealt with that. Wow, that one's new." (Some are horror stories I hope to never live through, in any form.) H...
TV and Kai, this mom is awful and it's sad strangers showed more concern for her starving kid than she did! I hope this woman takes what security seriously or her kid will be taken from her!
Retail Hell Memories: Bad Parents - Encounter with Momzilla
This story was originally posted on May 25, 2010 From Management Bitch Slave I read a story today discussing horrible things we slaves have witnessed asshole parents do to their kids. I can't believe I forgot about this....had I not been on the clock, I just might have powerbombed the bitch...
I am glad you're cancer free because bone cancer is one of the nastier cancers there is! Those morons should have given you a break because even people with healthy bones can cramp up! The mere fact Dicks donates to cancer kids is good, but to give an employee hell when they got over childhood cancer is a slap in the face to these poor children who suffer so much!
Retail Hell Memories: HR Hell - Bone Cancer Is No Excuse!
This story was originally posted on October 05, 2011 Hello all in Retail Hell, NoFucksGiven again. I was reading this post by Laughing Barista and it made me remember of something shitty that the Witch from Dicks did. Before I go into to it I should say that when I was a kid I had bone canc...
Machines going down is an unpleasant part of life everyone must accept! Right on to this lady customer telling off these idiot girls!
Awesome Customers: Two Sisters are Admonished by Customer After they Berated Cashier For Register Going Down
From Grocery Girl, January 2010: I work at a grocery store (two films were filmed here :) by a certain pair of brothers.), and I've been there for about 8 years now, I'm also in college. But anywho this happened about....2-3 years ago... it was super packed and we have old...old registers...
You did nothing wrong! You work hard and follow the schedule management set up for you and this woman shows you zero respect!
Monstrous Customers: "I'm going to report you!"
From RHUer, April 2009: Last night at work, I was just about to close my register down and get my returns after my last customers. They're still working on paying for their food, when this woman on the phone comes up to my register and sets her stuff down, making a statement to me, "Please d...
There should be a sign limiting customers to only a certain number of samples. It's unfair this female version of Homer Simpson devoured all the samples she could get her hands on! She showed poor manners and was rude when asked not to take anymore samples!
Piggy Shopper Hell: Woman Devours Plate of Sandwich Samples and Asks For More
From ScottyRS, September 2009: So I sometimes work in the "demo hut" at the local unique grocery store. Customers go bonkers for anything in a sample cup, it doesn't matter if is is sunflower seed butter and reduced sugar jam sandwich or Thai chicken strips. Samples are usually quite small, ...
The new hurricane is named Michael and this boy is the human version of it! The boy and his clueless mom should be forced to clean up the mess he made. I have a feeling in 20 to 25 years when this kid ends up in prison the mom will say her son is a good boy and how shocked she is he got into trouble!
Hellspawn Tales: "Does THIS belong to you?"
From Joe The Cigar Guy, August, 2009: Observed in a local (Washington, D.C.) restaurant: The place was sparsely populated. Only three tables out of twenty-five were occupied. At the front of the place was a party of four: a couple of 30-somethings and a couple of 60-somethings. They're talki...
You should call the child the child of Regan MacNeil because that is the possessed girl Linda Blair played in the classic film. I agree this woman is pure evil for letting her kid scream like that! No one wants to hear screams. As a cashier, I have a hard time concentrating on scanning groceries when kids are too noisy!
Hellspawn Tales: Store Screamer
From Casey, August, 2008 : I've had to listen to a lot of screaming kids while working in a grocery store, but this one incident drove me, and nearly everyone in the store over the edge. I believe it was a Saturday morning. We were working like good little Retail Slaves when we hear the faint...
According to them we are big, fat meanies who want to deny them happiness!
Frozen Yogurt Shop Hell: "you gave my friend 6 raspberries and I got 5!"
From Alycia: I work at a frozen yogurt shop and some customer and her friend ordered yogurt with some raspberries and blueberries. So I made the damn thing as usual, gave it to them, and they went on their merry fuckin way. Then, like 8 hours later, when we were about to close, she comes ba...
Doesn't he understand that he spread a biohazard around the bathroom? He is going to be banned from many stores if he keeps violating OSHA law!
Gross Retail Hell: Bathroom Explosion
From metalface84, AskReddit An old Asian man used to come in the store where I worked and cause trouble. Just so you can visualize this, he was hunched over to the side and would usually hold up his head with one hand. He wore tall rain boots, had a bazillion things clipped to his belt, and h...
Misty, I will miss the new posts too! The news show "20/20" had a segment about RHU and it inspired me to read it!
Retail Hell Underground's Last Day of New Posts Will be November 4th
UPDATE: RHU will now end on Sunday, November 4th.... for more info go here. Dearest RHU, October 31st will be the last day Retail Hell Underground will be updated with new posts. We are retiring RHU Blog. We thought it would be best to let you all know ahead of time so we could plan to...
This kid is going to grow up thinking signs shouldn't be taken seriously because his moron mother thinks they're a joke!
Bad Parents: "You know you should really learn to lighten up a little!"
From u/Golden_Newt Tales From Retail: I work in a chain department store so I get my fair share of rude customers. This happened to me earlier today and I though you guys might appreciate it. I'm just minding my business, wheeling out a trolley of stock to put out when I see a kid ~8 years o...
What a bunch of jerks! Anytime a person collapses is a genuine medical emergency and they should have been asking the aunt if she was okay instead of complaining about not being serviced!
Retail Hell Memories: Stop being unconscious & serve me!
From u/PrettyLyttlePsycho Tales From Retail: Wanted to share a dark humored story my Aunt told me about her time in the retail world. Back when she was in her mid 20s, my Aunt Debbie worked register for a now out of business big box retailer. They would get their summer rush of local small t...
An act of God should trump the almighty dollar and if the weather is too dangerous it's suicide to go out in it!
To The Bosses Who Expect Us To Work During a Hurricane
From The Bitchy Waiter As Hurricane Florence makes a beeline for the coast of the Carolinas and Virginia, millions of people are being advised to evacuate the area immediately and take shelter from the massive Category 4 storm. Most people will heed that advice, but plenty of others will be ...
We have a new little dog who has my dad wrapped around his furry little paw!
Thrift Store Hell: Silent Rage Tantrum Update
From Puppies In Prada Okay, mini update to yesterday's post. I went in and asked Missy if I could talk to her in her office. I said I didn't want to sound like a tattle tale, but that yesterday, Lemkil's behavior really concerned me. I told her everything, even the "reckless as a wounded elep...
I have a cousin named Jessica and I wouldn't want to eat her family!
You Had One Job: Won't She Object To That?
This reminds me of another story I read On this website about a bratty 2-year-old girl who wanted a bracelet a cashier was wearing. The cashier kept refusing Ro give the girl her bracelet and the mom went nuts on the cashier! I would think a boy of six wouldn't want a purse but maybe this brat wants to be a girl or he likes pretty things. Either way, looking involves the eyes in sighted people. Blind people see with their hands and this kid gave no indication he was blind!
Entitled People Hell: "Give My Son Your Purse!"
From RHUer I come into work for my afternoon shift through the front of the store. Things aren't looking too bad customer wise... aaand I jinxed it with that thought. A kid comes sprinting straight up to me who is, give or take, about six years old. His eyes are all on my purse which, I'll ad...
