The Rules of Retail

speaksl0wly:

1. There definitely is such a thing as a stupid question.

2. Do NOT call a store if you have no idea what you are looking for.

3. If you decide to take your bastard children shopping with you, then WATCH THEM!  We do not get paid to watch your children.

4. Mind your own business.  (Applies to LIFE, not just RETAIL).

5. No, I do not know what time store X opens / whether or not they have Y in stock.

6. If someone says “Hello,” say it back… say “Thank you” and that’s it.  We do not want to hear or care about your life story.

7. Typically, you get waited on at a cash register so when ready, you should go there, not to a counter covered with product, etc.

8. If you want help, do not walk up behind someone.  That’s just stupid.

9. I work here.  I know more than you.  Stop pretending like you know what you are talking about.  You don’t.  You’re stupid.

10. Don’t be an asshole.  The only thing worse than being an asshole because you are an asshole is being an asshole for the sake of being an asshole.
