Working in customer service is fairly traumatic, as any past or current food service or retail worker will be glad to tell you. It seems that facing rude, nasty, and plain mean people is a job inevitability, as is being forced to deal with the same questions and abuses time and time again; people refusing to leave the store past closing, customers throwing stuff on the floor or leaving it where it doesn’t belong, folks ignoring you or screaming at you for things you have no control over…
The list goes on and on. Here are 22 tweets that will trigger anyone who has had no choice but to work retail at some point in their lives:
