I went in around 9:30 but we were kind of slow and didn't really get poppin until around 11.
All of a sudden a dozen people came to sell clothes.
Jess (my fat ass manager, whom I also refer to as pigglie wigglie) and I were the only ones working. And since She COMPLETELY refuses to teach me how to do buys (Go thru other people's clothes-and decide whether they are in good condition or not and give them money for the clothes), she was the only one left up there in the chaos while I was doing MY job and hanging the NEVER ENDING RACK OF CLOTHES.
Before it got too chaotic-the phone rings and she starts talking
and gossiping about God knows what, so I'm assuming it was one of her
white trash ghetto fat friends (Cuz lets face it we all know piggly
wigglies associate with OTHER piggly wigglies) and she goes on to talk
on the phone for like 10 minutes.
Within these 10 minutes I start noticing lines of people standing
around the register-waiting to see if their clothes got picked or
not. So I think nothing of it - I mean there's nothing I can do - they're
simply waiting- WHILE - mind you - Jess is still chatting away in her high
pitched piggly laughed voice.
Next, an older black lady steps up to talk to Jess-and says:"I've
been waiting on my clothes to be processed for twenty minutes now. WHAT AM I WAITING FOR!?"
(probably hinting that Jess should get her
fat ass off the phone)-and this is me LOLing inside: :D :D :D
And Jess goes on to tell her: "I need to go through your clothes. I'm
on an important business phone call right now."
YEAH SHE SAID "BUSINESS"
Really, Jess-Business? What is the business? Did ya run out of creme flavored donuts!?!?!
Sooo, after she says this, she immediately says to the person on the
other end of the phone:"I'm sorry you lost your inventory, I hope you
get it back and I will talk to you later."
YEAH, you(the
reader) can pick your jaw up off the floor, now cuz mine's STILL
there.
(insert a few choice insults & obscenities here please-cuz I'm still screaming inside my head!)
But OH WAIT IT GETS BETTER....I continue hanging the clothes and then go back up to the
front. Jess then approaches ME and tells ME that SHE "would appreciate
it if I would have come to the front and talked to the customers
because SHE was on an "IMPORTANT" phone call!
%^%*@&*&%@@(*)(^(*^&*^%!!!!!!!
I THEN told MISS PIGGLY WIGGLY WHO HAD A FARM OF DONUT ROLLS ON HER ASS that, "There was nothing I could've done. They were waiting for their clothes to be bought."
SHE SAYS:"Yeah but you could've AT LEAST came
up and told them how long it would be."
Ummmmm EXCUSE ME!?!!?
A. HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO KNOW HOW LONG IT WILL TAKE FOR THEIR CLOTHES TO BE GONE THROUGH!? YOU
are the one going through their clothes and YOU wont even TEACH ME
how to go through them- What? is it that friggin hard to LOOK at clothes
to see if they have stains, holes, cig burns, vanilla frosting (oh wait
thats YOU)! No I dont think sooo, but APPARENTLY, theres a system that only The "MOST ELITE" of the store can handle.
B. THERE'S NO WAY I WOULD KNOW WHERE YOU ARE AT IN PROCESSING OF THE CLOTHES-
I mean i certainly can't ask your FAT ASS, because you cant be interrupted in your 'VERY IMPORTANT BUSINESS CALL."
C. I PROBABLY WOULD HAVE BEEN MORE THAN HAPPY TO HELP, But since I
saw you were talking away on your gossip-filled telephone call, while
juggling sorting clothes at the same time, I ASSUMED you could HANDLE
it!
NOW: If you REALLY WOULD HAVE BEEN on a REAL business call, I could
kinda understand you blowing your Miss Piggy Face all up in my grill.
But bitch-YOU LIE. So ITS ON YOU!
In a way,I kind of have to laugh at the whole situation. SHE got chewed out for NOT doing HER job andTHEREFORE SHE was caught red-handed. She then had to take it out on someone else - the someone else being YOURS TRULY!
So HAHA Bitch HAHA! :p :p
In conclusion, I find it very important and appropriate to end this MEGA RANT ROLY POLY PIGGLY WIGGLY COWS SUCK RHU submission with this:
UGHHHHHHHHHH
F BITCHES GET MONEY!!!$$$$





















The situation itself doesn't seem that extreme, but since you were the one experiencing it, I suppose I can't judge you or your manager. If it was an important phone call, would it had made a difference to how you felt?
How often do you get a lot of customers all at once? Your manager might not teach you how to organize the clothes if there is no need to. I would seriously suggest that you being it up to your manager again. That way, both of you can do it in a rush.

WHOA! Could you be more condescending about an aspect of your manager that had absolutely NOTHING to do with the frustrating situation? I know it is frustrating and annoying to be the grunt of someone's rage when they are the ones in the wrong. But honestly? Her being fat had NOTHING to do with the situation she put herself in, took out on you and you know it.
I imagine you would be horribly offended if I made a similar rant, perhaps about you as a potential coworker, that you wouldn't stop being such a SKINNY FRIGGIN BITCH WHO CANT STOP COUNTING THE calories in that F*CKING CELERY STICK and has to make a FRIGGIN TRIP TO THE bathroom every FIVE F*CKING MINUTES to go STICK YOUR FINGER DOWN YOUR THROAT! See? No relevance to the situation and completely made of assumptions, not facts. Skinny people can be asshat bitches too- weight/appearance has no relevance and maybe you should learn to deal with this thinking because I can guran-damn-tee you it will get you in trouble someday.
Just sayin' you know.

Wow, must be the last twos first visit to the site. Don't seem to understand where they are and what the site is about. It's a rant people not group therapy, and not don't worry, be happy, let's all get along land.
Posted by: Logan | December 06, 2009 at 06:12 PM
i'm with team rant here, this site is about being able to bitch about your shitty experiences in retail in a more or less uncensored way. this is an outlet for all the frustration that we feel in our jobs, frustration that perhaps we cannot express any other way, or to any other audience.
if these rants aren't your style, don't read them! for more watered down accounts of retail funnies and frustrations, try www.notalwaysright.com

Ranting is all fine and good, but said ranter seems to focus on her manager's weight, and that's just not cool. Bitch all you want about her lame work ethic, and maybe a little fat wank, but every freaking line is her eating, her being fat, this and that. It just ruined the rant and made said ranter come off as judgmental without cause. :/
Posted by: Blaaaaah | December 07, 2009 at 07:09 AM
Logan and kstar... lmao! I've written two articles here on RHU. So no, I'm not some uninformed noob like you so think.
I realize this site is for ranting in an uncensored way- however the ranter focuses on a completely unrelated aspect of the manager to the story. Now if the manager had been sitting at the front counter not doing her work because she was busy shoveling in her chicken bucket or something, then I could understand why it might be mentioned.
But every other line mentioning her appearance when that has nothing to do with the situation is just ignorance and immaturity. As I said, if the ranter isn't careful, that insensitivity and poor attitude will, without a doubt, get them in trouble someday soon.
I think Blaaaaah said it perfectly.

"As I said, if the ranter isn't careful, that insensitivity and poor attitude will, without a doubt, get them in trouble someday soon."
That is why the ranters rant here. To blow off steam, so they don't blow up at the idiots and can keep a good attitude at work.
For the record, my sister is extremely obese and knows it. When she rants about stupid customers, she normally uses terms like 'fat bitch' and moving their 'fat ass' etc.
I think that many of the people that don't understand peoples rants on here or think they are out of line, are the same type of customers, managers and coworkers that the others are complaining about. Seeing a bit too much of yourself in the stories??
Posted by: Logan | December 07, 2009 at 12:14 PM
Oh, I didn't make my point that a 'rant' by it's very purpose does not need to stick to the aspects that have to do with the situation, or find a solution to the problem (ie. "I would seriously suggest that you being it up to your manager")
Rant: "A rant or harangue is a speech or text that does not present a well-researched and calm argument; rather, it is typically an attack on an idea, a person or an institution, and very often lacks proven claims. Such attacks are usually personal attacks. Compare with a dialectic.
In some cases, rants can be based on partial fact, or may be entirely factual but written in a comedic/satirical form."

"Seeing a bit too much of yourself in the stories??"
Wow, pot calling the kettle black there, aren't we! You sure are a pretentious little thing, aren't you?
I'm not an idiot, I know what a rant is but thanks for the unnecessary lesson! I do appreciate you wasted your time on me to hit a google button. I apologize that you can't recognize that my responses to this rant are 'rants' as well- an attack on a person or idea. Like the idea of someone using a person's appearance against them when it has no pertinence to the situation.
Freedom of speech, right? The ranter can rant about the bitchy manager, I can rant about how I don't like the way the ranter ranted.
If the ranter were bitching about the manager because she was black instead of obese, the reaction would be so much different. But because the ranter complains about the obesity of the manager and not her skin color, suddenly it's alright and acceptable.
And I'm not sure what your obese sister has to do with this...?
Posted by: Chicken Flinger | December 07, 2009 at 01:08 PM
"Like the idea of someone using a person's appearance against them when it has no pertinence to the situation."
Again the definition of a rant means that it does not need to have pertinence to the situation, does not need to be calm or well thought out.
"I'm not an idiot, I know what a rant is but thanks for the unnecessary lesson!"
Apparently you don't, because even after the 'unnecessary lesson' you still seem to think that all parts of a rant need to be pertinent to the situation. You will notice that 95% of the rants on here go off on tangents and insults that are not 'pertinent to the situation'.
Posted by: Logan | December 07, 2009 at 03:12 PM
You will notice that one post complained about a welfare bitch and her rude behavior. Did the fact that the woman was using food stamps have to do with her rude behavior?? No, it is not pertinent to the situation. It is what we call a "Rant"!
Posted by: Logan | December 07, 2009 at 03:15 PM
Thanks again. Really, you can stop wasting your time now!
I already mentioned that my comments here were ALSO RANTS. Hence, if I am ranting, by definition, I can go off on a tangent if I damn well please. And if I want to rant that I don't think it has pertinence, then I can!
I find it amusing how you continually try to correct me about what a rant is when I already clarified that I myself am ranting.
But if you feel the need to try and correct me again, go ahead. You're also ranting.
Let's just agree to disagree and stop acting like piggy customers. BOTH of us.
Posted by: Chicken Flinger | December 07, 2009 at 03:25 PM
Well this site is for retail slaves to rant about annoying customers, managers, coworkers. Not a site to rant against rants made by retail slaves. You are of course within your rights to do so, but you need to expect to see those types of rants here and expect to be corrected when you expect rants to "have pertinence to the situation". Perhaps a site to rant about other peoples rants is more your speed, but even then it would be rants and would not need to be pertinent to the situation. So how could you rant that a rant isn't pertinent to the situation when a rant doesn't need to be so. Circular logic. Perhaps you need a site for logical discourse of employee complaints. Maybe try retailheckaboveground.com.
Posted by: Logan | December 07, 2009 at 03:43 PM
" And if I want to rant that I don't think it has pertinence, then I can!"
So you want to rant, that a rant doesn't have pertinence, even though a rant doesn't need to?????
Okay, let me try a different angle. A debate is very different from a rant, with different rules. If you are in a debate and someone disagrees with you, you can claim that they are not allowed to disagree with you. It would be pointed out that it is a debate and they are supposed to disagree with you and argue their point. Your arguement would be "I realize it is a debate, I am debating when I say that they are not allowed to debate me." When in fact that is what a debate is about???
So you were ranting yourself when you said that they should not be ranting on here?? (Doesn't make much sense does it?)
Posted by: Logan | December 07, 2009 at 04:03 PM
Excuse the multi posts. New ideas keep coming to me.
"I already mentioned that my comments here were ALSO RANTS. Hence, if I am ranting, by definition, I can go off on a tangent if I damn well please. And if I want to rant that I don't think it has pertinence, then I can!"
You're ranting that a rant doesn't have pertinence even though a rant by definition doesn't have pertinence.
So you claim that you understand what a rant is (that it doesn't need to be pertinent to the situation). You claim that you know that this is a place for rants, yet you complain that the person rant doesn't have pertinence to the situation??
Do you also go to porn sites and complain about the dirty pictures on the porn site, but if you use dirty pictures to complain about the dirty pictures,your arguement somehow makes more sense?
Posted by: Logan | December 07, 2009 at 04:26 PM
Lmao. Way to go completely off topic. My whole original point was that I thought the ranter was unjustly cruel about something that had nothing to do with the situation- a comment I am justified in making and have the right to make.
You're off in some other dimension now, calling an apple an orange and an orange a pear. If you want to keep arguing your point, go ahead but I've moved on from the situation. Maybe you might want to consider doing so as well.
But by all means, continue ranting if you so please. Or debating. Or whatever you're calling it now (I found it hard to pay attention after the second sentence of the first post).
Have a lovely day! Tata!! :-)

i just read the word "rant" so many times that it sounds funny now lol
Posted by: Ash | December 07, 2009 at 07:12 PM
hahah!Thanks Logan, you are my hero and make very valid points :). i wrote this rant. at the time i myself was not skinny-most of you are assuming a skinny girl said this how do you know? just because i commented so much on her weight does not mean i am judgmental, etc. in fact i am the most open minded person i know. granted give me credit-i kept this rant INSIDE if i was such a horrriiibbbllleee person i wouldve said all this shit to her face. this rant was only one of many i had from this manager, by that time i was clearly fed up.
i mean you clearly can be in traffic and some asshole can cut you off and you-without thinking may go to insult the asshole as a homo, or a racial slur even if you didnt see the person who cut you off right?
its just how i express myself. just like you are allowed to have your opinion about MY rant-well MY rant was MY opinion. but thank you for commenting :) :) and UBER props to Logan

"My whole original point was that I thought the ranter was unjustly cruel about something that had nothing to do with the situation"
I thought you said that you understood that every part of a rant doesn't need to have to do with the situation (and often contain personal attacks). In fact you have stated that you understood that on numerous occasions, yet you still go back to it.
"But by all means, continue ranting if you so please. Or debating. Or whatever you're calling it now."
I didn't start calling it anything different. I was pointing out the differences between a rant and a debate (sorry if it was over your head).
"(I found it hard to pay attention after the second sentence of the first post)."
That has been made abundantly clear!
Posted by: Logan | December 08, 2009 at 07:13 PM
Lmao. Please do continue wasting your time trying to make me 'see the light'. Not really sure why you keep dredging this up now, it's old stuff now.
If your egotistical mind needs to read it to be happy/quiet/elated/et cetera then fine, I'll relent since you so obviously desire.
"oh logaan, thnk u fer shoin me n tllin me the rite way 2 rant!! i wud be so lost without u arownd 2 currect me whn im rong! plz dunt evar chng cuz u r all noin! i prmz nvr 2 pont out wut i thnk evar agn!! at leest not arown u cuz it uhfenz u. i so sowwy grut n pwrfl logaaaan!!!!"
Happy now? *grin*
Seriously though, can't you be mature and agree to disagree, letting bygones be bygones, even this one time? Is this REALLY a cause worth all your time and effort? Wouldn't you be happier to read about bitchy custies, piggy shoppers and mutilated Christmas songs?

"i mean you clearly can be in traffic and some asshole can cut you off and you-without thinking may go to insult the asshole as a homo, or a racial slur even if you didnt see the person who cut you off right?"
This has to be a troll, right? No one would really think racist, homophobic behavior is relatable, and call themselves open-minded at the same time, would they? And they wouldn't use it in defense of a rant that was out of line, but not nearly as bad as the defense itself, right?
Come on. My best guess is that it has to be Chicken Flinger, trying to make Logan look bad for supporting that unnecessarily hateful rant. It's just too crazy. I mean, be mad at your stupid, lazy manager, but fat has nothing to do with it. Being an ignorant asshole doesn't make you look better.
