Maybe the thread should've been something akin to 'Share your retail war stories' or whatever. There's nothing wrong with trading war stories, especially for retail veterans...but as far as advice: I find the best thing to do is just to do your job as painlessly as you can manage, pass potential fucktard customers to your supervisor or manager (thats their gig) and don't stress yourself out at all. It took me many years of experience to finally learn to do that, I'm much happier now, and going on to my 4th year in retail. =\
I've been doing retail for years (gaming retail, even) and don't have any real horror stories. The odd difficult customer and all, but nothing really stands out as hair-pullingly aggravating. Maybe I'm not doing it right?
I've been snapped at, threatened, hit on (once), and made fun of. Worse, I was forced to admit to being *gasp!* wrong once (Oh, the pain!), but none of it has aggravated me enough to spin it into a good story.
And for what it's worth, I always like a good job-horror thread. Any thread with that piggy-back story in it is a thread worth the read.
