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!

As the great George Carlin put it...
"Think about how stupid the average American is. Now remember that half of 'em are stupider than THAT!"

I am guilty of sarcasm. A lot.

has it ever occurred to you that sometimes, just sometimes, it's the retail employee who's the stupid one? I once needed to get an ESD -wristband (or, as it's often called, "grounding -wristband"), and the only place in the town was a hardware store that sold just about anything, when I asked an employee if they had any, the employee didn't even say anything, his mere facial expression was insulting enough that I flipped the bird and walked out.

Yes, of Course The employee can be The stupid One. Stupid customers can have a Job on their own (where they create a hell for their coworkers because they are to Lazy to think)

People mistake my sarcasm for extreme stupidity all the time, it actually makes it all the more amusing. What's the best is when in a roomful of people where 75% know I'm joking and the other 25% fall for the fuckwit-bait and start arguing. It's like a real live internet comment box.

When I'm sarcastic, you'll know the difference between it and stupidity.
About 20 years ago, one of my TA's in a linguistics class informed me that in English, a double negative can mean either a positive or negative, but a double positive can't mean a negative. I'd recently seen a discussion about this point online, which apparently my TA had missed, and decided to use a variant of Sidney Morgenbesser's response to a similar assertion by J. L. Austin.
Me: "Yeah, right."
TA: [goes quiet and glares at me]
