Feburary, 2010: I'm a cop and have been a cop for far too long, ever since I was 18. However, before 18 I worked in retail hell, however this isn't a story about that. I was recently at a local McDicks behind a woman and he child. The child had a face full of snot so you can imagine how wel...

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...

From Taco Slave, July, 2010: I've been pretty much a Drive Thru Slave for about 13 years now. Right now I'm the night manager at Taco Bell/Long John Silver's. Situated in the nook of a rather ridiculous 3-way intersection, I am blessed with pretty low volume work. I spent most of Black Fr...

Retail Hell Memories: Party Store Snow Globe Hell
This story was originally posted on December 12, 2009 Another story from Holiday Hell to warm the cockles of your weary retail hearts. It's always an amazing thing when a crew gets a Manager they love and a Manager gets a crew they love back! I've been fortunate enough to have had that expe...
This reminds me of when, at my old job, we had a log book where we had to log customers' information off of their ID when they purchased items with PSE in them. This was before we the registers could do that by scanning an ID and then eventually moving them to behind the pharmacy. But I digress.
An elderly woman came up to buy some items, one of which was PSE, and I asked for an ID as was protocol. She immediately got angry, accusing me of accusing her of being a drug dealer. I told her it was government policy, so she gruffly got out her wallet and showed me the ID through the clear plastic thing. Unfortunately, it was barely visible, so I asked her to take it out, and she stormed out, claiming I was accusing her of being a drug dealer.
Lady, given how you were acting up like that, I have reason to suspect you might have been up to no good!

This story was originally posted on November 21, 2009 Dear RHU, I work for a major office supply store. You'd think that the type of people who voluntarily shop for paper, ink, and toner are mild-mannered by association. This, however, is not the case. My first of many horrible customer ex...

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...

I've learned how to spot scammers based on their overall behavior. They usually seem agitated or nervous, sometimes telling you what to do like what happened up there. Usually the best thing I've found to do is just keep a straight face and provide good customer service.
