Me after working retail: I can tell if you own a house by the way you speak. We are members of different species.

    Tangential retail anecdote: it always makes me laugh when customers threaten to take their business elsewhere. Make my fucking day, asshole, it’s just one less infant for me to babysit. Even then, they’ll probably be back once they learn that having a crying fit at the Rite Aid doesn’t get them any better results.

      the way some customers act about “taking their business elsewhere” and how we are “setting prices” i just assumed these boomers actually legit thought every retail hell they hit up was a worker owned cooperative where we had democratic price setting meetings and everyone got a cut of the profits.
