Retail Hell Memories From a Grocery Store: Bratty Hellspawn Gets His Comeuppance in the Checkout
From that_ginger927927, Tales From Retail: I just remembered an old story from when I worked at a grocery store. I was a cashier, and a woman came through my line with her two children. The girl was smaller than the boy, and the boy was tormenting her as a result (hitting her, poking her, p...
Worked at a local Game store and had a guy call and ask for help with his system. After telling me the problem and asking a manager for help (to which they couldn't help him at all) I told the guy sorry but maybe he could find the answer on the internet. The guy then told me that his tv and computer were two separate rooms and he didn't want to keep running back and forth between the two.
RHU Meme: What Is The Dumbest Question A Customer Has Ever Asked You?
Greetings folks of RHU! It's time for some input from all of you: RHU meme time! We all know the reason for the site, and we all have stories to share. This time, we're asking a simple question... Send us your answers! They can be a short answer, or they can come with a story! Either way, ...
Lightning, the woman didn't actually do anything to warrant a call to Security. Her boyfriend did the restraining. Had the woman actually assaulted the child, then Security should've been called. But seeing as how the woman was stopped by her own boyfriend then there was nothing that they could've done.
Grinchy Custys: I Am Used To Getting My Way And You Will Do As I Say
From OfficePsycho, AskReddit My second-best Furby story (and I'm sad my phone's auto-correct knows "Furby" and not "around" or other, common words) involves being at work one day when my manager, who had just arrived for her shift, pointed out a teenage couple to me. "See those jerks?" she sa...
My favorite was when the parents would roll their eyes and say "yes I know its violent but he likes it anyway." So many times I wanted to say "You are the parent! You have the right to say NO!" Or they would say "Oh he never does any of those missions" yeah right, and I'm the Queen of England!
Game Store Hell: When A Public School Education Does A Video Game Store Employee Good
From brynnflynn, TalesFromRetail: Like many of you brave souls, I once worked retail. At one of the largest video game stores in the United States, in fact. It was a glorious time, just before the advent of corporate's fixation on reservations and subscriptions, but during the heady days of ...
If I were in that group of friends, I would vote to not invite her next time.
Rudest Custy Encounters: Can't Be Happy, Ebarasses Her Group
From: wurtis16 Ugh I hate thinking about this, but I was a bartender for about 4 years, at a high end upscale place, and I got pulled to wait on a table in the back since it was Thanksgiving. I go up to the table of 6 people after seating them and getting them water and bread. I say, "Welcome...
The result of how little people are taught in schools nowadays.
Dumbass Custys: "Is That In Africa?"
From: avannahrhayne Yesterday at my exotic pet shop, one of the owners had our Coatimundi, Toby out to play. Coatimundi are related to raccoon but look very exotic. He's very sweet and we let customers interact with him all the time. Of course we get lots of questions about him, but yesterday...
Or what's worse is Buy two get one free. Yes dear customer, we'll gladly allow you to buy the two $5 games and get the $60 for free.
Sale Hell: The Sale Everyone Hates - BOGO
From: cIumsythumbs We're doing a BOGO 50% off sale on all sweaters. Customer comes to the counter with one $45 sweater. Great. Now I have to remind her of the sale, this seldom goes well, and only frustrates the customer. I tell her, and she has nothing else in mind, so she goes to look for h...
Unfortunately, that happens all the time. In that case, if they still are intent on buying the game for the small child, tell them what's all in it. Most parents recoil once they hear "sexual content".
Retail Robin: And Of Course It's My Fault... It's Always My Fault
Hope you find something better, girl! I'm looking for another job as well.
This Is Samus, Signing Out Of Retail
From: Samus I think I went out in the cheesiest way possible, but who could blame me after the clusterfuck I just experienced? So as you know I moved to a place far from my old job. I was told that there was an opening for me if I wanted it and I said I was interested and I started literally ...
I wonder if this woman was named Lysa Arryn and her son was named Robin Arryn.
"You Want To Put That Nail Polish Where!?!"
From: sourwormsandwhisky I was working the floor when a couple came in, they looked normal enough but the wife seemed very tired. She asked me where we kept the "stop n grow", for those who don't know, Stop n Grow is a nail polish that you can use that helps you stop biting your nails. This s...
Yeah I got burned out on working at StopGame myself.
Toxic Managers: District Manager Blues
From: Samus Hello Retail Hell It's been a while but I've had so much going on. Since November of 2015 I've essentially been a single mom with my two kids. To make a long story short Hubby got a new job in another state, we didn't want to yank the kids mid-school, been living apart, it's been ...
If that had been me, my mom would've taken me out of the store and my butt would've been red when I got home.

Parents Try School Lunches
People STILL do that today. "Do you have any Mario games on the 360?"
Once I had a guy swear up and down that he played a Zelda game on the playstation.
"My Child Knows More Than You Do"
From: N_Who This isn't a specific story - it's an exchange I had more than a few times during my years working the electronics counter of a department store. This was the era of XBox, PlayStation 2, and GameCube. It would start with a parent walking up saying: Parent: "Hi, I'm looking for the...
Mine moment became when after working at my job for three years (which every year someone who started working after me got promoted over me) I finally tell my boss that I would like to be considered for a promotion. His response, "Oh I never would've thought of promoting you. I just thought that you would be happy being a GA (entry level job)." That was when I just thought "Screw it. Why should I even bother?"
Reddit Discussion: "What Work Moment Made You Go From Proud Employee to "I'm Just Here For the Paycheck"
From Daily Mail: Most of us have had the odd feeling of disillusionment in a job, but thousands have taken to social media to pinpoint the precise moment they stopped caring at work altogether. Reddit users have taken to the site to answer the question: 'What work moment made you go from pro...
