Greetings Curious Scroller,
If you've never landed in this part of cyber space before, you have taken a hard, fast plunge into the fiery depths of work hell. RHU is dedicated to giving the service worker a voice. If you are an angry customer, a corporate suite, a homophobic race-hater, and you don't like skull masks or swear words, this blog isn't for you. Click away now, before your ears bleed and your eyes explode.
I'm Freddy, Crypt Keeper of Retail Hell Underground RHU -- a place for service slaves to have a voice, tell their story, support each other, or just have a chuckle about the insanity of working in the 10th Circle of Hell! I'm also the author of "Retail Hell," the funny memoir about life as a handbag sales associate at an upscale department store! The sequel, "Return To The Big Fancy," has just been released in hardcover and e-reader and is available wherever books are sold!

There. Now don't you feel young? Most of you grew up with the pocket phones. When we moved from the old farm to the new farm in 2006, we got loan of a "bag phone" because the portable cell phone we had wasn't getting the reception we needed to coordinate the contractors. It cost us about the same per month as the rent on the little house while we were waiting to have our double-wide put in. Price per call, roaming, and that was on top of the monthly charge. We weren't crustys, but when we went in and explained our situation, we said, "We need a phone that can travel and get a signal about anywhere (they showed us a map) and it needs to plug into the truck because we don't have electricity at the farm yet." The cell phone they sold us was woefully inadequate, dropped calls constantly just sitting in one spot, and then we found out it was because it needed to be reprogrammed back at the factory. My how times have changed.

We've come a long way haven't we? Nowadays EVERYONE has a cell phone that can not only fit in your pocket, but can do everything from play games, to let you manage your bank account.
