Does anybody here work in retail/grocery/fast food stores as a clerk/cashier? What is it like to do that kind of work? Are a lot of customers more polite, or more rude? Poor guy in the video:

did retail in college to pass the time (because i definitely didnt need the income...)
most are fine. some are shitty. 2 customers stick out from my year there
first was a mom with i think 2 kids, obviously could afford the most expensive cosmetic treatments. already had a $500 bill and her kids kept running up and adding more shit to the cart, she just said whatever and told me to ring it up. i hate rich people
second was a russian guy with his daughter on his shoulders piggyback, we were closing really soon (like 11p) and I went up to tell him politely and he laughed at me like I said "i consume cocks"
Did grocery store 5 years ago
Worse job ever, and I recently did door to door sales
It was a Mexican grocery store called El Rancho
Fucking sucked
>What is it like to do that kind of work?
Demeaning
it's the kind of job that human beings were not meant to do, just fucking let robots take over already
Do you live in Mexico?
It's boring, but your coworkers can make it bearable.
The real problem if retail are the scumfuck retarded customers demanding to talk with the manager.
I make orders at Taco bell. It's a little tedious and very repetitive. It's stressful because no one wants to work or knows what they are doing. It's only bad when you get a rush of people other wise it's just dull and mentally draining. I personally like more physical work.
Yup
Work at a grocery store deli and its not that bad. Early mornings and late nights are great because you don't need to worry about dumbass customers and you can clean or do whatever the fuck you need to get done. Coworkers are good but management can be obnoxious sometimes. GM tried to have me fired because some boomer cuck didn't like the way I said have a nice day and threatened to never come back but that didn't go her way.
All things considered it's pretty good. Pay sucks ass but it's okay considering I'm still 18 and live with my mother.
I want to see your manager user.
Worked as a very cheap car was cashier in a rich town (huge companys HQ is located here) lots and lots of entitled people very stingy about a $3 car wash thinking they deserve a $100 wash quality. Consistently see very expensive Porsches and Mercedes come thru, fyi the nicer the car the cheaper the wash they buy also old people do not take care of their cars. Worst was a car full of blonde bimbos that took 15mins to get them into the wash and some black guy that could not speak english tryed getting a $3 wash for a $250,000 brand new lambo.

LMAO what did he speak? Tounge clicking?? ook ook
Ive worked food, retail, and grocery.
Food: Worked at subway and togos. people are twats. Picky as fuck. Never tip. Rat you out for having fun with coworkers(literally both jobs had customers rat us out). Subway 'had super high turnover rate and i ended up being forced to do manager work because noone else was left that knew anything, yet wouldnt give me pay. TOGOs was fucking horrendous. The manager was a cunt, mistreated everyone and every single employee quit every single month. 100% turnover rate
Retail: I enjoyed stocking. Cashiering could be fun too. ALOT of hot chicks and they love to flirt it up. Also alot of cunty entitled customers that want to make your life miserable for telling them NO because theyve been spoiled so rotten that they live in a fucking delusion now. Had to have people arrested for getting so out of control when I told them something they didnt want to hear. When i worked for office depot, some dude dropped his fucking report he needed for a work meeting off THE NIGHT BEFORE and expected that shit ready right when we opened. We had told him it would take way longer but he didnt listen. When we didnt have it ready he started screaming obscenities at me in front of children. I told him repeatedly to stop. It ended with him in cuffs being taken away by the police. so he probably lost his job too over his own stupid irresponsibility. Corporate always treats employees like dogshit. Had one place lie to us about pay raises and then actually go into the computer to change our pay raises to a lower amount than the corporate headquarters had approved. They screwed us all out of 1000s of dollars
Grocery: Customers are nice if youre not a cashier. If youre a cashier theyre all fucking retarded. Management are fucking immature middle aged assholes that think everyone under them is mentally retarded, talk to people in ways that could easily get them sued for harassment. Its a hostile environment but coworkers are chil;
Idfk some african language, probably at the local collage on his daddys dime, had a asian kid that was the same way
Most customers are neither, they just want to be rung up and on their way.
Except for niggers, expect the occasional, or not so occasional, nigger to try to get you to give them some free stuff if working fast food.
order of worst customers:
1)teachers. theyre all broke and want their discount even if its only pennies off. Theyll make you rering everything up to save 20 cents.
2)fillipinos - theyre dirt poor but want to buy the most amount of shit they cant for the lowest price possible. Will lie, cheat, steal, change price tags and do anything to get lower prices. Always cause a scene
3) Armenians. Same as Filipinos. They all come from dirt poor countries so they want to pretend theyre ballers. They literally buy things to show off how fake rich they are then return them because they cant really afford them
4) young white adults age 19-25. This whole generation was raised never hearing no and being coddled. Now theyre adults that expect to get everything they want and cant handle rejection AT ALL. They always ask for managers, treat people like absolute shit, and are rude as fuck.
5)Soccer moms. They have literally no fucking life outside of their children, so they have to make every event as dramatic as possible to have something to talk about. Theyre the most pathetic as fuck excuse for life forms and will always ask for a manager
retail sucks but you meet good regulars.
i hate having to fucking call security and they do nothing.
worked spencers gifts. trying to not and transition to like....a store that WONT yell at me for being on my phone.
should i just work a FUCKING comic book store?
you forgot syrians. they always want shit for free but dont read the FUCKING SIGNS and demand it and talk about fucking isisisisiisis in my store.
like COOL you a refugee but FUCK DONT. I feels them but uh. no.
also the syrian ubreakufixit people always just fucking WANNA BREAK AND OVERCHARGE and its like NO PLZ JUST WATCH THE TUTORIAL IN FUCKING ENGLISH WHERE THEY DONT BREAK.
i used to work at a 99 cent store, some costumers are really rude, more if they have food stamps.
Nice. I've gone to those a few times, and found some pretty neat stuff for those prices.
Lol @ the losers here . I never worked retail, never had to Dad gives me all. I get a regular allowance of 350 a week and i dont have to pay bills while i live at home. I got to local collage on a part time business degree an so long as i keep my grades good, i get to go to Hawaii this year. It's easy street all my life,i heard it sucks to stack shelves and live on minimum wage but its a fear i wil only read about. In four years i will graduate, become a lawyer and break 60k a year easy then , in time i will raise a child and treat him the same. No need too stack shelves guys if you just work smart.
>i will have had everything handed to me and become a scumbag of a human being that cant maintain friendships because I have no character. I will become another sheep that follows 2 party politics and perpetuate a crumbling society. And I will be a complete animal in public because I have no understanding of policing my own social behavior.
