working in retail

First of all, fuck the Christmas music. Secondly, no, we don’t have insert item that sold out weeks ago. We have at least five signs indicating what we are sold out of so we don’t waste our breath. The orders we are getting are never-ending, but that means more money on wages so yay for me I guess. I love how people are wearing Christmas attire. I saw someone dressed in a Christmas tree shaped dress and someone in a sparkly glittery Christmas dress which was so cool. Manager asked me to look in someone’s bag as I was the door bitch for a bit. A team member said he put something in his pocket. I asked the customer if I could check his bag (of course he’s gonna say no) and he said, ā€œThere’s crack in there. I’m not showing you that. I suppose you don’t smoke crack?ā€ I died laughing and let him go. The manager told me I should’ve said that I might not be able to check his bag or his pockets but the cops can. I believe in human decency and setting high expectations, but I don’t give a shit anymore. Between this guy, and the people who complain to me about bag checks or having to serve themselves or the queues makes me not want to go into the classroom because I feel helpless and like a pushover. Getting paid 35 an hour for this shit with next to no training on what to say or do when someone steals is not worth it. Even if I tell them to leave something in the store, no one takes me seriously. I’m just a girl. I’ll just continue being nice to people and remember the hundreds of pleasant interactions I will have this week.
