Before I begin my actual comment, I would like to apologize in advance for my inadequate level of English proficiency. I am not a native speaker of the world's current lingua franca which unfortunately leads to me making numerous embarrassing mistakes being made whenever I attempt to communicate using this language. Whenever I am reminded of how I lack the ability to convey my thoughts in an eloquent manner, I feel as though I have committed a cardinal sin, as though every English teacher in the world is simultaneously shaking their head and sighing due to how utterly disappointed they are at me.
Although I know that saying sorry to those of you who are reading my comment will not change the fact that I fail miserably to write and speak perfect English, I am writing this as a way to deter a certain type of people who cannot stand poor English (Also known informally as Grammar Nazis) from mocking me by posting unwanted and unnecessary comments detailing my every blunder. In my humble opinion, making grammatical errors should be perfectly acceptable as native speakers should not expect non-native speakers to be able to communicate in their second or third languages eloquently. If you are able to completely understand what the other person wrote, is there really a problem with what they've written? No, because the entire concept of communication is the exchange of information between other intelligent beings, which means that no matter how the exchange of information is made, as long as the information is accurately shared there is not a fundamental issue with their ability to communicate. To see it in another way, remember that someone who isn't fluent in English is fluent in another language. When you think about it this way, isn't it impressive for someone to speak a second language in any capacity? Having empathy and respect are qualities that are sorely missing for far too many people these days, especially on the internet.
That being said, I am aware that not all netizens who correct others are doing it to ridicule and shame. There are some who do so with the intent to help others improve and grow. However, displaying the failures of other people publicly will cause the person who is criticized to feel negative emotions such as shame and sadness due to the fact that their mistake has been made obvious which severely undermines the point they were trying to make in spite of their unfamiliarity with the English language. In most circumstances people are not looking for language help when they post anything online. Most people just want to enjoy themselves and have a good time on the internet which is why I would not encourage correcting other people regardless of your intentions. If you really do want to help others with their spelling or grammar, I would highly recommend you to help via messaging privately because not only will you not embarrass anyone, you can also go more in-depth with your explanation which I'm sure the other person will greatly appreciate if they want help, but I digress. I know that I've written a bit of an essay, but I hope I've made my points clear.
Anyways, here is the comment I wanted to make:
shid And coom,

As someone who works in Retail currently, I can agree that Retail will absolutely change you. I relate to MauLer's Retail Stories way too much.

Retail will change you, but so will construction. After working for a crappy underground conduit company, working at Chili's is so low stress. "There's fifty open." Cool, I'll do my job the same way I always do, just don't make me hand dig for 16 hours straight please. "A customer is pissed." Not near as pissed as my boss was when a two man crew can't do a day long project in 5 hrs, give him a refund and make that cheap pr!ck's day.
I'm honestly not joking when I say I preferred being in a war zone in Afghanistan than doing retail jobs.
I'm running my own local store so that's probably why I had different experience.
At least the Taliban are human, unlike Customers.
@@michaelmoore2679 Their interpersonal skills are significantly better than that of an annoying customer.
Yea cuz at least in war you got your buddies with you, some of the best people you will ever meet in your life. Meanwhile in retail, all your coworkers do is gossip and bitch about their job
Literally. MCRD was a cake walk compared to retail.
I have never felt closer to these men oh my god I hated retail
.
Worked at a Kohl's on and off for 5 years (usually on breaks from college). I've been screamed at, seen grown ass adults act like toddlers, found 3 day old milkshakes in fitting rooms, accused of stealing high end head phones despite being the employee finding the shredded package, and so much more. I don't miss it at all, but I definitely agree with Mauler. It humbles you and makes you treat retail/restaurant staff substantially better.
🦏🥛
Yea, I believe everyone in retail has seen adults act like toddlers at some point. It’s sickening
A three day old milkshake in the fitting room is on you guys. If the store employees & management are halfway doing their job, those are going to be checked & cleaned at least once per day.
Speaking as someone who also worked at Kohls, a decent amount of grown adults acting like toddlers came from your coworkers too, not just customers
The strangest Karen that I can remember off the top of my head came to our hotel fairly late. I think she was possibly the last guest that I needed to check in that night. She wasn't so bad at first. We talked about her trip down from the city (we're located at a relatively small town), She bought about ten dollars worth of snacks from our little store, and went to her room. Easy peasy. A little while later she comes back to the front desk with a Pringles lid, and tells me that we had bed bugs. She showed me the Pringles lid, and there's a squished beetle in it. Of course it wasn't a bed bug, but she was obviously upset about finding a bug in her room so I offered her a new room with a free upgrade. She agreed, goes back to her room, and changes her mind. She wants to go back to the city now. So I canceled her reservation and waved the cancelation fee because of the bug. No problem. Then she asks for her money back for the snacks, and this time I tell her no. She had a problem with the room, so why should I refund her for food that she's probably already eaten? This was apparently the last straw, and she starts complaining in earnest. Starts wanting to talk with my manager. She eventually leaves, and I'm still astounded that it happened over ten dollars when she saved at least a hundred dollars on a room she used for an hour. Whatever I guess.
I worked at a Motel 6 in the reception office back in 2015. Fairly busy location, pretty common to get a horde of people around 6-7pm due to the town being several hours from the nearest airport.
So we get a big rush late at night. We're working through all the people when a woman comes to my side of the desk and states her reservation. We do the whole song and dance getting checked in, easy as, she's set. But as she's leaving she turns around and goes "you're very rude." Tired and kind of confused I look at my co-worker who is equally confused, shrug it off and move on.
Then she came back drunk and started going off on how I'm the worst person ever and that she's gonna get me fired. Office is empty now so I fire a few shots back saying she's the pot calling the kettle black. This damn near sent her into a frenzy and I called my manager to come and deal with this creature.
He wasn't even mad that I told her off. She just walked out and was never seen again. People are weird.

I worked in fast food, restaurants and customer service for years when I was a teen. Made me much more patient with retail workers, you get some shit to deal with.
.
Yeah. I wish people could understand that just because they work a job in which they’re required to serve you, retail workers are still human beings and deserve some respect. People make mistakes, it’s human. I don’t know what kind of a POS you have to be to deliberately try and make a retail worker’s life miserable.
Working retail and service is offers little beyond a fascinating peek behind the curtain that is the breadth of humanity.
My job was with a grocery store. *That* began by them suckering me in with the promise of a fulltime position if I would be cross-trained for "Deli" and Grocery (stocking) departments. The "Deli" department didn't seem like a bad spot, cutting meat and cheese sounded, and is, simple. What I was not told was that the Deli department included the "food service" department. As in the production of all the hot food many grocery stores offer. They didn't want people for the 'deli' part of the deli department, they had *TWO* other people in food service, one of them being the manager -- *NOBODY* wanted to do that job.
This same job would go on to effectively conscript me for a number of jobs I never volunteered for. Beer/Wine, Meat, Seafood, the ACTUAL Deli, and Online Orders. I was effectively trained across the whole store, working 40 cents above minimum wage. I found out while they were training me to fill in for front end, that the company has a policy that you get a flat 50c raise for *EVER* position you're trained for (this is how managers got larger paychecks, to be a manager you needed 20hrs in every department for training, among a few other prequisistes, so they just folded all that money into your paycheck and gave you an end of year bonus).
Now, in that time, I had to deal with every customer you could imagine and something I discovered is that consoomers have the most wild sense of entitlement. Just starting with food service it was like... astonishing to me to meet people who would get *LEGINIMATELY* irrate about not being able to buy disgusting amounts of prepped food enmasse. Like... we had a guy who would come in at around 2pm usually, at random times, and ask for 8lbs of chicken tenders. So you tell him "ok sir, that'll take a bit, probably about 20 minutes" because the chicken takes 8 minutes to fry, comes in 2lbs, and i can only fry 4 bags at a time -- two rounds of 8mins is 16min and then add in some time for packaging. He would give me a dirty look and say he doesnt have that long, and I would tell him *EXACTLY* what I just told you, the whole process. He would then storm off to customer service, and in about three minutes the assistent store director would show up to La Carte and ask me what's the deal. I would explain it him, and he would nod along, then he'd ask me why I hadnt prepped that much chicken to begin with.
I would then have to explain to *HIM* that the hot case we use to store the tenders we do make does not have the *SPACE* to hold 8 fucking POUNDS of chicken tenders, we literally can not accomidate that much chicken *UNLESS* of course, he would like me to *REMOVE* other items from the case to free up space (typically the hot case would be full of grilled and fried bone-in chicken pieces, onion rings, tatter tots and such). I would then explain this guy does this often, that I've told him multiple times to simply call ahead, which is the company procedure for any order exceeding the amount of chicken we're supposed to make per batch (company's standard is 4lbs of chicken in the hot case, two bags if you want 5 or more pounds of chicken I am NOT obligated to MAKE that much chicken prior to that, and I'm expressly SUPPOSED to only make that much chicken by demand) to which he would grimmace and say like "yeah well this guy wants chicken" and, while I was amiable to this at the start, after about *THREE YEARS* of this I would often challenge him on this.
This was among other wild things. It's baffling how a _job_ and a _place_ can turn functional human beings into animals.
I also remember him talking about the time he was accused of stealing. Joker Cinema Sins EFAP, I believe.
I'll have to get that one as well. I knew it was during a Joker episode but couldn't find it.
@@Kernwadi Pretty sure it was the Jenny Nicolson one
@@Vergil99628 Could be, because I've skimmed through the Cinema Sins one and found nothing...

"Oxygen is subjective."
-Bilbo Baggins
I worked 2 years at mcDonalds post Covid during the “great Resignation” or whatever gay shit they called it, literal hell, 3 workers a shift was the norm and we just had to deal with it. I will never get angry at service workers ever again. That more than anything else taught me the value of hard work.
You could just end at "I worked at Macdonald's for 2 years", that's already a horror experience.
Used to run a very long glass counter, selling cameras and photo gear at a store called Lechmere. Did three years in retail and the stories def mount up of customers doing just bizarre nonsense.
Concurs in folks having this experience to better humble themselves before the basics of “the customer is always right.”
I've heard that some of the most bizzare situations take place in electronics stores, I remember that one story when a customer admitted to the workers that he was having sex with his vacuum cleaner.
damn his manager tackled a shoplifter?" here in the states retail workers cant even go and do anything about shoplifters because of company fear of being sued or now getting shot. retail is fucking hell and all the workers are miserable
.
All we’re allowed to do is call mall security and they’re a f*cking joke. 3 security came into the store while the shoplifters were still there and these assholes just walked past them w/o a care in the world and got away w/ about a thousand dollars worth of stuff.
@RobotChicken670 I did mall security. Being useless typically not our call, cause security companies are so afraid of lawsuits that we're instructed to just be "visual" deterrents which only works when people think we can actually do something
@@toddsalisbury3851 thank you for this information:)
I was a security guard in retail, so this is like a Vietnam flashback story for me.
How many battle scars do you have?
@@Kernwadi Too manny. I can't even count the death threats
not retail by strict definition, but i bartend. and JESUS FCKING CHRIST THIS. like take this, add alcohol, and thats bartending. “FCK YOU MEAN YOU GOT NO VODKA LEFT!” “sir, it’s a saturday night at 2am, we aint got basically anything left at this point” “your a bar, you should have fcking drinks!” “sir i know. and i apologise” “you’re a.. a… *vomits on floor, looks sheepish, walks away*” “……. fck now i have to clean that up…. he had kebab too… ugh” and tha was last week.
Sounds like a nightmare.
Honestly as much as retail sucked, I do not envy bartenders. It's like working retail but all of your customers are drunk.
As someone who works in retail right now. I feel this. I love it when ppl threaten me and my co-workers b/c we caught them shoplifting and we can’t do anything about it.
Well, that's racist...
I worked like 2 days at main zoo entrance. That was when I found out that depths of human stupidity know no bounds. You would think, yeah simple list with prices and few items behind the counter (like maps) people just come to you and tell you what they want from the bloody list... Well suffice to say that job was a nightmarish hell enough. I broke down in 2 days from just people being people. No way am I ever going to even attempt retail if even a small fraction of the horror stories are true.
I would find "gifts" left behind by customers at times.
KFC chicken bones probably take the prize for the worst purely because of how bad they could get of nobody found them.
Oh and of course the store sold slime to the kids, meaning that you'd find random tubs of glitter and slime stuffed into odd places.
.
Its been such a long time since I've listened to this segment, and having worked a hotel front desk job for close to a year now, I feel so much of this so viscerally.
Fortunately I haven't yet experienced the horrors.
I worked years ago in a retail store that is a mix of pharmacy and walmart (kinda... my country is really weird, but i think it happens in other places too) and this gave me some awful flashbacks of that time...
Just worked there for about a month, that felt like a year (with the bonus that i had an injured arm in those days, but had to work anyways because needed the cash).
It was pure hell.
And he is right about what's trying to convey: those gruesome mind-numbing, soul-crushing jobs teach you that customers are NOT always right and that the ones beind the counter are no less human than we are.
So glad MauLer got away from all that madness, to become the longman we know and love.
🦏🥛
Guess I'm glad that I never had to work in retail, so many horror stories all around.
Funny thing is, "customer is always right" used to mean that what customers want to buy, is what you fill your shelves with.
Now it has perverted into this "do not upset the customer and if it gets upset anyway, give them free shit". I hate that mentality.
As someone who knows a guy who worked at multiple roles at an Asian Supermarket, he can vouch how true Mauler's experience is.
Is he still alive?
@@Kernwadi As a directive relative to the owners, he is denied to die.
Can relate. It's truly humbling to work in retail for the absolute kuntz you have to deal with. Then it's good to get some blue collar trade work. Sets you up to move on ti better things.
Was in retail from 19 to 25 mostly. Few on site laborer work in between. Helps you appreciate the work you hope to find years down the line. I'll be 30 in April, couldn't go back into retail, I'd rather work behind a computer or sound desk.
Keep going dudes and dudettes 😎
.
I feel in hospitality / bar / restaurants Karen-esque customers can be even worse due the addition of booze & peer group status into the equation, however the social contact permits you to be less accommodating to idiots
.
I work two jobs in retail.
Fuckin hell do I know that feeling as I’ve gotten in this kinda of situation for both of them
/
My first job was working as a sales associate/cashier at Target when I was around 18/19 years old. That job has taught me how idiotic and rude people can be.
I'll never forget when this lady tried to redeem a coupon that's been expired for over 2 months. She wanted me to make an exception and I told her "that's not how that works ma'am, the scanner will deny you the discount." Of course she said the classic line "lemme speak to your manager" so I called him over only for him to say that same exact thing I told her. All this while a line of customers stand behind her.
I will never work retail again.
Some people just gonna be pain in the ass, no matter how professional you are.
@@Kernwadi Albeit true, with retail you deal with so many different people within a day. Odds are you will deal with more idiots and a-holes than you will any other job or jobs similar.
@@Ch0c0lateChimpIt depends. I worked in retail with very specific customer base. I would say over 90% of our customers were neutral to great and 7% vexing and 3% shitheads. Of course in every Christmas season people get angry because everyone is in hurry and everyone wants service and there's never enough staff to deal with them all. Christmas time was always stressing, but otherwise it was mostly calm.
I remember once I was helping customers move items off their carts, but there was a woman blocking the space in their group so I kept my distance to not be creepy or whatever. They start saying I'm lazy and shit in spanish. So I asked in spanish if they needed anything. The woman and her boyfriend both started yelling at me at the top of their lungs in my face and I just stood there staring at them both for about a minute. Then a manager pulled me aside, and tried to calm them down.
At this point I guess I had no fucks to give and just wanted them to complete the yelling portion of their transaction lol.
The worst part is that you can't really do anything in those situations.
I got called racist because i asked a customer to not leave the store with unpaid merchandise 💀
Well... That was clearly very racist of you. You should be ashamed.
Tales from Nightmares Are Us
Amen.
I worked at a call center, then Starbucks and then rented cars. I've seen things you people wouldn't believe...
I can feel the pain.
Retail is like a weird grape - it's subjective and surrounded by rhino milk. Don bless our retail workers.
May the Cosmic Chicken guide them.
Retail was the worst job I ever had.
I wasn't even into sports but my parents knew someone who owned a small town sporting goods store. I now hate sports AND parents of kids that play sports.
Only worked there for 6 months. My fellow employees would have fun making lists of all the shitty work for only me to do like toilet cleaning and attic work. They would all stay in the back leaving me in the front for hours on end and get mad when I didn't know how to do everything. I was verbally destroyed by customers about things that happened to them before I even worked there.
And the icing on the cake was I had just bought my first car and one day I forgot to take out the trash and my manager PISSED ON MY NEW FUCKING CAR
Man... How come that retail seems to be one of the most universally shitty occupations? I don't think I've ever heard more horror stories from any other job sector.
Also, how mentally challenged was your manager that he pissed on your car?
@@Kernwadi He was an asshole all the way around. I hated working for him. I think he actually thought it would be funny almost like a "hey you're the new guy so you just have to take it" but that was too far so I put in my two week notice that day. I have only been back inside that store maybe twice in the last 12 years since I worked there and its so awkard every time because most of them are still there.
To answer why I believe its so bad though, its a combination of many things. Management is not typically the "face" of the business, the retail workers are. If management makes a bad decision that negatively affects customers, they are more likely to take their aggression out on you than the ones actually responsible. You are also dealing with people and their money typically which is always going to have people up in arms. One other reason that sucks is that retail work is typically a very low paying job so people tend to subconsciously look down on retail workers as if they are somehow less than them because of their occupation. There are still many reasons left but I think these are some of them and its why the turnover rate will always be high when it comes to any normal retail job.
As someone who works in retail I can back up mauler. You meet nice people but there are the Karen screechers and male equivalents and you got the absolute morons who just seem to exist to test your patience.
I'd say roughly 60% of our customers are nice and polite and if they don't know what they want or need we are happy to help them. But then you got the other 40% who are just looking for a chance to yell at you, threaten you, cause general problems or just be a nuisance
For some reason I can't edit my comment so just to add one story I can tell was a woman came in asking for an order set aside for her husband. We informed her that her husband picked the order up already and that we have nothing to give her. She went back home in a huff claiming he never picked it up. She comes back half an hour later without her husband claiming he said he never picked anything up. We took her to the back since this is a serious allegation saying we either handed it to the wrong person or are lying to her. We found him on cctv taking his order home. She actually tried to say it wasn't him and didn't even look like him yet it was a clear face shot of him and we all knew who he was. We even confirmed his card details with her and she still for about 20 minutes with my boss tried to argue it. Anyway she finally left the store insistent on that it wasn't him and her husband came in the day after and said sorry to us.
No idea what that was about but she was threatening us with taking it to court and calling our higher ups and everything but she was just crazy
I got to say I get a certain joy out of telling these morons to f*ck off after testing my patience b/c they couldn’t be bothered to hang onto a receipt.
This is a nice story time.
Some people just have lots of personal problems and they're looking for any occasion to unload them on somebody.
I work for a very large tech company and work for the executive offices complaints department / escalated support. You would not believe some of the shit me and my team deal with daily. Some people really don't have a life
Some people just need to dump their frustrations on someone...
I work in a pharmacy, and it was almost a year ago that we had this one customer who just went off on my coworker; he kept getting in her face, threatening to get her fired and insisted he knew the mayor of our city (which I doubt he did but even if he had, we work for a private company so that’s an empty threat). She ended up walking out that day and I ended up staying several hours longer than my shift was supposed to last to help the pharmacist get everything squared away. To this day, the way that guy acted enraged me; a combination of entitlement and inappropriate posturing. Had he tried anything with me, I might be in jail right now because I would have put him in the hospital. He made me that angry.
Unfortunately you can't really do anything in situations like this or you'll just lose the job.
Worked retail 10 months. After a certain period of time it takes a piece of your soul and if you weren’t a little misanthropic beforehand you will be when you leave.
Retail realy is a work of Satan.
Unfortunately, I feel this all too deeply.
I had aspirations of becoming a nurse... but after some years of working retail/grocery I don't know if I have enough empathy for human beings left to pursue that career...
I work at an establishment in the states. I won't say the name, but it rhymes with Farget.
We have a "security team," whom are basically just mannequins in yellow shirts to try and deter theft. Thieves these days are well aware that security aren't allow to touch them, so they are super ballsy these days.
Anyway, I observed a very clearly methed-out homeless dude come into the 4 different times in one day, stealing beer and food. Security did nothing.
On his 4th visit, a cop happened to be in the store and I pointed him out. This time, the dude tried the wheel an entire bike out the store. Instead, I stopped him, fully aware he would likely get physical.
He did. I let him hit me first. That way, whatever I did next wouldn't be considered self-defense. And like any rational person, I figured an equal response to his punch was a German suplex.
Moral of the story, he got arrested, and I'm still employed. Also, I'm just the cart guy at Farget.
The sort of statw of everything where your favorite customer is the guy who was patient and said "thank you."
I had worked an expo at a restaurant one time and we had a late couple arrive. Theyre my favorites cus i had ran out of brownies and i had to tell them it would take a while to prep and ready for a brownie sundae and if theyd like i could offer an apple crisp on me. They said that would be great and i was thankful. And o had experienced no one else be as patient as them or undertsanding. Not even my boss was undertanding until a coworkwr defended me in the back to explain what was going on
I work in retail right now. The craziest thing that happens is the occasional elderly woman that needs help lifting something.
You're a lucky one it seems.
Nothing says retail like a guy threatening to kill you over the phone because he can't use an online-only coupon over the phone.
MauLer is completely right though. Dealing with the absolute worst of humanity is like a workout for your patience.
This happened maybe two or three months ago.
I was working in the McDonald's drive thru, taking orders and payment. Then this big line of people start coming through because there was a match or something on, idk. Anyway, the person I was taking over for took this couple's order and then handed the headset over to me. I went about my job, took payments, cleaned up, etc. because the drive thru was packed and food wasn't coming out fast enough. About 5 or 6 minutes later, the couple that got their order taken by the guy I took over for, come up to the window and start shouting and screaming at me, asking for their food to given to them for free. I hadn't had many run ins with these sorts of people, but I thought of something quickly and told them I'll look for a manager and you can talk to them. I went around the corner, pretended to look for a manager and started talking to one of my work friends and told them about the absolute freaks giving out to me. Anyway, I went back around the corner to them, told them "Sorry, but you have to pay." and they just freaked out even more but still paid.
Please people, I can't do anything other than take your order and payment. Maybe learn how to cook or something some time soon if you can't wait for food.
I've never worked in retail but I have worked at a gas station for four years now. Thankfully my encounters with nutjobs are pretty few and far between but I've had crazy people demand ridiculous shit from me before. We don't even sell snacks or lottery tickets or anything it's just a gas station attached to a repair shop lol

That does count as retail.
I totally relate. I worked retail for eight years and I will never go back. I have literally been treated like scum by customers and been called things I cannot repeat here. The worst supervisors/managers are nothing compared to the worst customers.
Seems that retail is a suffering for literally everyone...
I worked retail for 10 years from 16-26 years old. I’m almost 40 and I still have nightmares. Though I’ve recently realized I can get through a self scan line faster than a manned line.
So far I haven't heard of anyone having good experience at retail.
@@Kernwadi
So true
@@tentacledood5784 Amen.
My old retail job would have fired any of us on the whim of a customer. That was the worst part; we had to play along with the insanity - which is probably why the current culture drives me up the wall.
retail is more childish than high school.
I feel like im stuck in a zoo trying to get better jobs.
.
This chat is what made me want Mooper to invite Sgt Ducky, he has an entire playlist of funny videos about the torment of working in retail and Mauler, Rags, Fringy, Mootal and him could share stories
This could potentially be both very hilarious and very depressing.
@@Kernwadi More than likely hilarious, no one talkin bout it would be super serious ^^
Incidents like this are why I switched to overnight work. Less interaction with customers, yet still getting the job done and getting paid for it. When I used to work regular shifts, by the end of every month I would have no less than 4 crazy stories about customers I or a co-worker had to deal with. It's true, some people really do live in their only little bubbles that need to be popped.
Literally one of the most common jobs is the one afflicted with a curse.
I worked in the slots industry for about 10 - 12 years or so. Mostly night shifts, 5:30 pm to 3 am and then you balance your cashier's shift, collect the cash for the night, do the closing procedures, go home, sleep most of the day, get up and do it again. When I first started, I was working at the Blackburn Hotel under ALH (They are SCUM by the way) I was cashiering and forced to work a NINE HOUR SHIFT WITHOUT A BREAK... Couldn't even go to the toilet. When I complained to management (I'm not a Karen btw) after several hours, I was told my supervisor had been there since 7 in the morning. They are a bunch of A-HOLES. I had some good nights, making good $$$ in tips sometimes but it's not worth it working night shifts, it wrecks your body.

My first job was at a local grocery store. Quit during covid because I felt like I was about to start throwing hands with customers. Good times.

A foot fetish is not a perversion or a sign of mental illness. It is simply a sexual preference, like being attracted to blondes or preferring a certain type of body. There is nothing wrong with having a foot fetish, and it does not make someone a bad person. In fact, many people with foot fetishes are kind, caring, and respectful.

This work sector truly is cursed isn't it?
I worked retail for 4 years. If there is one regret I have it’s that I worked their for so long. Customers as a whole aren’t too bad, but some people are fucking nuts and it takes a lot of patience with some of them.
There was a time I called two customers ugly skanks because they were harassing an autistic employee. I fucking exploded on these two ugly fucks as they call this kid a retard and worse. Eventually I cancelled their purchase and made them leave.
