Retail Hell Underground

4th of July in Retail Hell Sucks Stars and Stripes

The Fourth of July is upon us. Right around the fucking corner. And who will be working it? Me. You. EVERYONE OF US RETAIL SLAVES. And you all have the same managers... they post the fucking bulletin up about absolutely not requesting holidays off, etc. etc. God I fucking hate managers. They will totally get the CAKE shifts. As usual, right? They’re usually out back doing “paperwork” ALL FUCKING DAY. ANYways. That’s a whole other rant!

The biggest thing I hate about retail is working holidays. You know, I didn’t really mind it when I first started almost 7 years ago. Because I was young. And dumb. And full of fucking cum. I got some time and a half, or double time, and holiday pay, etc. etc. But now it seems as I’m getting older I’d like to have the fucking holidays to myself and my loved ones. Fuck holiday pay. Fuck time and a half. Just makes it so Uncle Sam can rape you harder in the ass. That’s all. Especially if you’re getting paid bi-weekly. They rape you so hard!

I have worked every fucking holiday for the past 7 years. I was the one to ALWAYS get nominated to work the shitty holiday shifts. Like “Oh, she doesn’t have anything better to do. She’s a loser. Let’s make HER work.” Bah. Fuck you all. Did I mention managers BLOW stinky monkey cock?

So of course, my other half is getting THURSDAY-SUNDAY off at his job. Of course. Thursday to fucking Sunday. That’s insanely sweet! That’s how factories are. They fucking give their people ALL the good shit off! I get one stinkin day off this holiday weekend.

I love to chill and grill too dammit. I want to dance naked with my sparklers and piss of the neighbors. I want to get completely annihilated and puke horrendous chunks in my yard. On the neighbors car. Etc. etc. I want to smoke cigs until my lungs explode. Yes. Oh yes. But I will not be able to. Fuck you retail giants for being open on holidays. And Sundays. (Once again. A whole other rant there!)

And all those fucking people I will see this weekend will make me even pissier. Because you KNOW that they could be spending time with their families and not driving their fucking gas guzzling Hummers and SUVs all the way out here to East Bumfuck. (And we ARE in East Bumfuck...we have pig farms nearby and we’re built on A FUCKING SWAMP!) But NOO instead they are at the fucking OUTLET MALL. On a holiday weekend. I can’t even fucking afford gas to go to the fucking outlet mall for my shitty job. Jesus.

And you know.. the sales really aren’t THAT great either. They never are. They just make so much fucking hype about them that people say “Oooh. Look at that 30%-50% off select merchandise. I must go! Oooh. Up to 70% off.” Ahh shut the fuck up. There’s ALWAYS an “UP TO” sale going on. Even on non-holidays you fucking imbeciles. And that 70% off will be one fucking rolling rack. Or one measly wall. Customers are getting swindled left and right. They’re so easy.

We happen to have a shitty holiday sale at work. And I’m glad too. I hope people bitch about it and fucking LEAVE! Bwahahaha. We had better sales on the non-holiday days then on holidays. Stupid fuckers don’t know any better!

So for all you Retail Slaves working this weekend. I salute you.

If you get a chance, take a few shots of Tequila for me PLEASE. Worm and all.

Happy Fucking Holidays,

Regan.

Retail Hell Tale: Camel Toe Wears Prada

Hey Sluts and Whores, Carolanne here. Last week I bitched about Women Shoppers and their asshole husbands. A Beverly Hills Retail Slut said it reminded her of a disturbing situation recently except the husband was more of doormat in this instance:

One boring Saturday afternoon the phone rang in my little boutique. The shrieking voice of woman on the other end asked if I was the one who had previously helped her with some shoes.

After pulling the phone away from my shattered eardrums, I responded, "What shoes?"

She screeched back like a pterodactyl: "You know...the one with the heel... they are in black."

I wanted to slap the bitch right there. One with the heel? In black? Half our stock is in black. I made some shit up as if I knew which ones she was talking about. Then I put them aside for her on hold and got her off the phone.

A few hours later she shows up in person: a big, lumpy woman with dirty blond hair and white sunglasses with fingerprints all over them. The weirdo was wearing a tight green stretchy top and very small pink capri pants. I could tell she was going to be a bloodsucker, so I got her the shoes and stood back while she tried them on. 

No surprise - the 8 was too big and the 7 1/2 was too small, so me being the good salesgirl, I recommended something else: "These are the newest design by Prada. They just came out and they might fit you a little better."

She grunted at me like a cow and roughly tried them on. They fit better than the others, but she claimed they were still too small. She then reached into her handbag for her phone to call her husband (god forbid she make a decision on her own) and to her surprise she had left her phone at home. So she asked to use mine.

When she gets a hold of her husband her screechy annoying voice loudly echoed all over the boutique. I'm thinking she must be hard of hearing or something as she yelled at him to check online to see which Prada shoes he liked better. Ten minutes go by, they are like tweedle-bitch and tweedle dumb-ass and he has still not found the right shoes and she is getting angry. A few more minutes go by and I swear she had grown fangs with saliva dripping from them - she was fuming now and screaming at him over the phone.

Keep in mind it's a small boutique... her screeching tirade of name calling - stupid idiot, dumbshit, moron, etc. reverberated across the store. Other customers got annoyed and soon left. She was such a bitch to this poor man on the other end who was trying his hardest to find her fucking Prada shoes on their website.

So then she turns on me and asks me if I know where to find them on the Prada website! WTF? I glared at her and said, "Ma'am, I'm not the Prada website!"

While she continued to rip her husband several more assholes, my coworker pulls out a small piece of paper and writes on it: THIS BITCH HAS THE WORST CAMEL TOE EVER!

And then I saw it. I don't know how I could have missed it before. It was like bread rising, fat and fluffy, looking like it was about to swallow her pink capris. Needless to say I had to do everything in my power not to throw up my $20 lunch. Was it the moose knuckle that was causing her to be such a moody douchebag?

After thirty minutes of Camel Toe Rage, she and her husband over the phone had finally come to a decision. They wanted the original Pradas I had pulled for her. I got her a new pair from the back and proceeded to ring her up as she examined the shoes thoroughly. I was so glad to see her leave.

The next morning as we opened all hungover from the night before, here comes Camel Toe in all her gaping disgust...carrying the bag with her Pradas...

CT. I changed my mind I found another pair online. Do you have them. It's #88325.

Me. No Miss CT I do not have those shoes here.

CT. Well can you go check in the back?

Me. Our boutique did not order those shoes.

CT. Well I saw them online I know they make them.

Me. I didn't say that they were not made, I just simply said we did not have them.

CT. Well can you call all the stores in New York and find them for me?

Me. No You massive Camel Toe bitch you can call them yourself on your own phone using your own minutes and find the other shoes you are going to buy then return!

CT. Well thank you for all your help I hope I have not been too much trouble.

Me. Oh sure no trouble at all. You have only been the biggest pain in my ass ever. And another thing get some pants that fit so I don't have to see your Vag. Have a good day and thank you for shopping at Prada bitch!

And thank you Beverly Hills Retail Slut! I think I would have beat the shit out of her with the Prada shoes! Come the fuck on now...she really needs to stop harassing you  about style numbers and take care of that camel toe problem.

Costco Slave on Shopping Cart Retail Hell Pet Peeves

C.S.I. - Costco Secret Informant
Case: Pet Peeves on Carts.

Peeve #1: I'm a woman, but not prissy, but when you have to push 6-10 heavy as shit carts and your building momentum down the parking lot, headed to the store and some bitch walking in front of the cart train suddenly stops, I have to put on the motherfucking cart train breaks to keep from running the fucker over. Then I'm supposed to wait until they move their fat ass and start all over again! I mean come on!! Heavy fucking carts!! Move people!!!!! My costco is on a hill and it sucks pushing the carts up hill, but then to have to stop because some Member decides they want to stop and chat....or they want to grab their basket from the wall and put their purse down and then their kid and then fucking check it out and make sure its good.....ahhh fuck them! Going down hill from the left side of the warehouse rocks though! When people wanna step in front of me once again I have to stop except its harder because I have the pull of the hill and my conscience telling me to teach them a lesson...

Peeve #2: Dangerous things like CARS and the dumbasses driving them! They make us wear orange vests but I don't think it helps because I had a Member start backing up when I was right behind him....I almost rammed the carts I had right up his Honda's ass.

Peeve #3: When those CARS driven by dumbasses see me coming and decide to drive faster to get around my runaway cart train. I want to yell out, go ahead and smash into the carts you stupid asshole, but please keep my body out of the demolition derby.

Peeve #4: Members who leave their carts WHEREVER THE FUCK THEY WANT! Especially when it's a short distance away from where they actually belong. In the photo below, the man in white is where they belong, but I guess it's just too far to walk for some Members.

Peeve #5: Members who are too lazy to return carts to the inside of the designated parking lot cart corral when they are INCHES away from it as shown in this photo below. The cart was left on the outside of the corral. The Lazy bitch couldn't walk five inches to put it in the proper spot. I could give them an A for effort, but hell no! They get a big fat fuckin F.

Peeve #6: Leaving the baskets full of boxes? WTF? Why did they ask for them in the first place if they aren't taking them home? They get outside and empty their shit and then leave the boxes on the ground and in the basket. Then I have to go picking them all up. They had the fucking cart to haul their shit to the car. Did it really need to be in boxes?

Peeve #7: The whole Monkey see Monkey do thing, where Members just leave carts in a weird place like THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET and every one follows. "Hey lets put carts on top of flatbeds and put them in trees!" Stupid dickwads.

Peeve #8: When Members leave garbage in the baskets. The white blob in the photo below is a FUCKING DIRTY DIAPER that some douchebag left in the cart. Believe it or not this happens all the time.

Peeve #9: When the front line of the carts hit the damn parking block and I take 10 carts to the gut because that shit stopped instantly and went right back into me. I know that was probably my fault but hey....job hazard...carts are dangerous! Maybe I should scream "Workman's Comp!"

Peeve #10: Members who say, "Hey, can I have one of those carts?" as I am pushing a train of a thousand of them. Fuck you! I'll run your ass over if you don't get out of my way!

Peeve #11: Members who feel the need to walk home with a cart and leave it on the street. This isn't a Costco cart in the pic below and I sure as fuck wouldn't walk into the neighborhood to retrieve it, but still. If you need a cart get your own. Don't take ours.

Case closed.

Shopping Cart Retail Hell Mystery

This photo was sent to us by our Costco Retail Slave informant who we will be calling CSI - Costco Secret Informant. CSI will be posting all kind of Retail Hell found at your nearest Costco.

Here CSI noticed a shopping cart was mysteriously lifted onto a flatbed cart. WTF? Who would do this and why? Those things weigh a ton.

We have two theories: Pissed off WWE wrestler or Aliens.

RHU has a call into Scully and Mulder. This is a total X-File. The truth is out there and we want to know it, so the poor Costco Slave that had to remove this cart can go hunt down the culprit and kick their ass.

Come back and visit us tomorrow for a full report from CSI about Shopping Cart Retail Hell. Until then, keep an eye on those carts everybody.

Jennifer Lopez Causes Retail Hell at Boutique?

One of our Retail Slaves has alerted us to a Retail Hell story being reported by The New York Post's Page Six. Apparently Jennifer Lopez and her entourage swooped into a boutique on Manhasset's Miracle Mile last week and reeked havoc on the Retail Slaves there. They demanded the store be shut down for private shopping - the store's Slaves said no. Then Mama Lopez made a huge mess in the fitting room and her gun-wielding bodyguards yelled at the counter Slave to give Jennifer a 50% off discount! WTF? Pretty fuckin low JLO!
