Hey Retail Slaves! I'm Freddy, Crypt Keeper of RHU! This blog is for anyone in retail who needs to blow off steam or just have a chuckle about the insanity of it all!
I'm hiding out here deep underground on the net with my two fellow Retail Slaves, Carolanne and Jason. We wear our skully masks to say whatever we want! Take on your own secret identity and join in on the bitching!
Above is my funny memoirRetail Hell We all have retail stories to tell and these are mine, as a struggling screenwriter who ends up trapped selling handbags in a high-end department store called "The Big Fancy." If David Sedaris and Kathy Griffin had a baby it would be! You can see my alter ego, Freeman, on the other blog for the book by way of the navigation bar.
Have a Retail Hell-Free day!
Freddy

I would probably be biting everyone within two inches of me.

Simple solution... cattle prod! Can you tell I lived on a farm for 25 years? If they are going to act like animals, treat them like animals.

Anyone notice the dude in the very front, with four of whatever that is in his arms? If that's what I think it is (looks like a couple of different things we had), it was supposed to be ONE per customer.
I'm grateful these were isolated incidents then, because we didn't have anything like this happen at the store I worked at (though I do have some interesting tidbits to pass along).

God, and I thought my job was shitty. At least I don't work at Wal-Mart.
