23 Lies Retail Workers Tell To Avoid Awkward Situations

Retail doesn’t pay enough to have to put up with all the crap they do. Customers can be impossible to communicate with and sometimes you just need to say a little white lie. Other times, you do it because you just feel like it. It’s great.

People on Twitter are sharing the funny lies they tell working customer service jobs that make their life a little easier. These are a real goldmine if you work in customer service.
