He’s gay

HDMI Is lit we could all tell that he is
THATS WHY YOU DONT *TELL* THE CUSTOMERS YOU HAVE AN EMPLOYEE ONLY BATHROOM THEY GOT NO BUSINESS KNOWING 😂
I know, right? That's the number one rule.
@@emmacat3202 "do u have a bathroom" "Yes but it's employees only" like why would you answer that idgi 😂
Well, customers already know you have a bathroom. It would be illegal if your employer didn't provide you with a bathroom and everyone knows that.
@@tra1215 uh, half of the places I've worked at didn't have a bathroom. bathroom breaks were never an issue but some places just can't have a bathroom?
@@maetheunicorn81 Where did you use the bathroom if you had to go? An employer CANNOT legally deny you access to a bathroom while you're on the clock. It's an OSHA requirement.
Black Friday brings out the horrible in people
Alicorn Trash so does playing Call Of Duty and Fantasy Football 🏈 😆
Capitalism
I ain't gonna lose that 60 inch flat scrin for 150
Alicorn Trash nah that’s when we CONFIRM people are horrible
In America
The saddest part is that most of the deals aren’t that great to begin with. They sure as hell aren’t good enough for me to bite someone for it
"deals aren't that great to begin with" waffle iron is $2 bruh
Noah Czar what kind of trashy people get excited over a waffle iron?
@@rubiirae that's just showing the good deals who said I got excited
That's how you get hepatitis.
@@noahczar what kind of trashy people consider a $2 waffle iron a good deal?
Black Friday is where you lose faith in humanity
Lmao
50% OFFFFFFFFFFFF!
Hey, I mean sometimes it is fun.
Capitalism makes me lose faith in humanity.
Survival of the fittest!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
To all Black Friday workers,
thoughts and prayers
I am going to work first time ever in black friday
mehak CH good luck! I work 9 Black Fridays in the last 10 years tomorrow is my first without working
Thank You!!
i worked black Friday 2019...it wasnt that bad and ive seen our store busier on Saturdays than Black Friday
@@abbie_joan same. I did Walmart and I wore my construction steel toe boots so I wouldn't have a broken foot if people went crazy 🤣
this makes me scared to work tomorrow night
Be scared, very scared. It's an experience you'll never forget, but learn a lot about human behavior.
at least time flies by and you'll be on your way home before you know it!
Don’t, promise they’ll have the same sale throughout the weekend or week
it’s not until friday lol
kate weaver nah at least where i am it starts late thursday night and goes into friday all day
Anyone elses (immigrant) parents don't let them go black Friday shopping because they say *its only 1 thing on sale and too many people*
@Tay Hadgu lol . My parents tell me what i daid before but they secretly shop themselves soo i dont understand them 😃🤣
No, too expensive to get a switch with Minecraft and controller smh.
Not inmigrant parents but mine say the same thing. And they don't wanna risk getting out of there injured or something.
More or less what my folks would say, except they would also add "And then you join those fools in the long return lines."
Literally just quit my retail job today. After 10 years of retail I couldn’t take it anymore. Black Friday is literal HELL!!
Good for you! There are way better jobs, go for one of those and never look back!
Good for you.
Yes girl! You deserve better!
That's great! You don't need to deal with that anymore
I AM SO HAPPY FOR YOU!!!
..."a very predominant lingerie sto-"VICTORIA'S SECRET.
🤣
Magaly Gutierrez LITERALLY WHAT I THOUGHT. When she said they have tote bags with lipgloss or another small gift I was like so you mean Victoria Secrets.
Working Black Friday in the mall for my first time ever this year, wish me luck!!
Update: I lived, nobody died, only a few things were stolen, but I am now a teenager with siatica
Sydney L it’s chaotic but time flies by fasst!
Ohh noo good luck lol!
Good luck miss, youre going to need it. I've worked on black friday already, and it made me quit working on retail lol
Good luck! From a 6 year veteren
What store ??
American Horror Story: Wal-Mart
*mentally prepares myself for angry customers tomorrow*
Kiiip I work at Walmart lol. It’s my first Black Friday and luckily I’m at the electronics registers not those lines
Good luck man, i life in the Netherlands so blackfriday isn't as crazy as in the USA
Rahul Bhalla I work at kohl’s. In customer service. My first Black Friday as well. 10pm-6:30am 🥺
Brianna Travers I’m 2-11 thank god but then I’m doing 8-5 the next morning
RESPECT US RETAIL WORKERS AND FOOD EMPLOYEES! if you dont have patience to shop and wait in lines..then STAY HOME!
FacTs
Or shop online 🤷🏽♀️
And for God sake buy what you can see and order the special 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😑
Black Friday = The Purge
Lina Kratzert true
Luckly the purge isn't on the same day as black friday otherwise it would be realy bad.
This is why I shop online
Sameeeeee
That ruins the point
Yep
@@zvckqq2130 It saves you
Same! Black Friday deals aren't even that great anyways. There's better deals that I found on Cyber Mondays or even Christmas. But I guess it really all depends on what you are looking for. I got a 50 inch Samsung TV for about $300 online about 3 years ago.
Remember: It costs absolutely nothing to be nice to retail workers during the holidays
I worked at Kmart on Black Friday 2000 and when the doors opened and the mob came in, an extremely pregnant lady was knocked to the ground. I helped her up, she thanked me, and ran back towards Electronics.
I’m all for a good deal, but I think the health of your developing child is more important than a PS2. (I’m only assuming that’s what she was there for because that was the hot item that year.)
😂 ran back towards the electronics 😂
I worked at Kmart 2010-2012 and I was placed in electronics because my till was always even never short (was a regular from cashier) and I remember feeling people before seeing them come running. It was a earthquakeeee they were throwing toasters on the floor and tripping people on purpose all for a cheap netbook 😂 which most people returned after black Friday
Omg hahaha
“They thought it was real cute to play tug of war in the middle of the store”
You mean TUG. Like pull. Tug of war, not tuck. What are they tucking? Lol
Daddy Jungkook well oops
When I was 9 I was at Macy’s and this woman pushed me out of the way a nd I had to get 43 stitches on my head cause I fell and she pushed me into a cabnit
Addi E. Lmao
Patricia Hezam what is that supposed to mean
@@addie.1953 If you're taking about lmao, it means laughing my ass off
That lady was so freaking rude to actually physically hurt you that bad. I'm sorry you went through that. Hope you didn't suffer lasting effect from injury.
Oh my God! I'm sorry that happened to you! Your parents should have pressed charges.
When I was ten this lady told me to move because I was wasting her air 😂
Edit: Got a Apple Watch this year and No a lady didn’t tell me I was wasting air
🤣
Savage
🤣🤣omg lol
I'm gonna do that to someone now lol
Ella Enoc plz do 😂
I’ve worked retail 7 years during the holidays, and I swear to you most stores start the “Black Friday sale” a week sometimes 2 weeks before Black Friday. And almost always keep it for the rest of the month, I promise you.
Please stay home cozy and chill out! ☮️
Osito Cedar same here! oh and then the best deal you get is always gonna be the week of Christmas.
Black Friday and horror stories are two words that go very well together
I quit my retail job today and I am NOT sorry 😂😊
That's why you'll live
I don't really get black Friday, the deals are not really that good and everyone just goes crazy for pennies 🤷♀️🤷♀️
To me it time for school clothes and new fashion clothes to add that I could not afford when it came out the year before. So, it is good but I do that online.
Actually some deals are quite good (eg iPads are usually discounted $100+ ... you’ll never see a discount like that any other time of year aside from Black Friday/cyber week... Apple products are heavily controlled by Apple and they don’t let resellers like target or Walmart discount them without approval- it’s also why you won’t see their tablets/phones/iPods/watches clearanced out like other products... they go back to Apple... recent movies get heavily discounted- we’re talking $2 for a newer movie that’s usually $10-$15... if you buy 10 you’re saving at least $80... and very recent releases for $10, usually like $20-$30)... and some stores offer freebies or giveaways... you just have to know how to wade through all the 💩 ... deals aren’t as good as the past, but still can be worth it if it’s something you can use and aren’t just buying to buy (honestly I just check out movies from our local library- it’s free and uses less resources as everyone is essentially sharing, but if I really like a movie, I’ll buy it... and BF is a good time to do that)
The deals are VERY good. But if you make decent money already, it’s not worth it
When I worked retail at target, I was very lucky because I was in the fitting room. Nobody went there but we still needing someone standing there to hold the keys, which was me. I got to watch people go crazy all around me but in a "fly on the wall" aspect.
You're very lucky
May Smith OMGGGG sameeee!! They used to schedule me after midnight too so most of the time it was a ghost town in that area of the store. Lol.
My target has this new policy at the FR; so no one is ever there for more than a quick checkup. It makes a prime theft spot into a war zone half the time.
Angel: “She had a whole baby.”
Actually she had half a baby
I attempted Black Friday shopping one year, had a full breakdown in the parking lot of a Walmart and ended up not even getting the thing I was hunting for. NEVER AGAIN.
My first time working in retail, and I'm scheduled for a 6am-6pm shift. Please pray for me guys.
Prayers and good thoughts to you, stay safe and remeber to take your breaks!
Man I feel for the retailer. I hate that job the most especially during black Friday. Just organize the store is enough craziness. People has no respect for items or the employee.
I worked Black Friday at Best Buy one year. Legit a woman threw a camera at me because she picked up the camera color that wasn’t on sale. She told me she was going to Target, I said cool. She came back an hour later, back at my register to purchase the camera. I smiled and said ENJOY!
2:51 the very definition of "zombie apocalypse"
I respect retail workers that work during Black Friday. Not all heroes wear capes
Everything is online now anyways. My Black Friday shopping consisted of me going to targets website and ordering the items I wanted on sale.
i work retail and would need my own episode for my horror stories
Cat Do tell..😀
For the lady who had a problem with theft I would ask them if you could take the item to the register for them
"Whole baby" 😂. Why would she have a piece of a baby? Lol
Back in 04, Meijer had a doorbuster deal on a DVD player for $20 (it was a really crap player). These 2 couples actually got into a fistfight over the player, the males were arrested. The one wife bought the player. Two days later, she returned it screaming at the manager how much of a crappy player it was. They wouldn't take it back.
I worked at Walmart for 5yrs and no way in hell i was missing work on Black Friday. It was the most entertaining day of the year.
thanksgiving: let’s be thankful for all we have and love on our families! black Friday: FORGET YESTERDAY I WANT 4 TVS
Huge respect to retail workers who work during black friday!!
I once strangled a man with my own bowels while we fought for a Tickle-Me-Elmo.
Underrated comment, dude! Hahahaha
...wtf...
That toy sounds very creepy
@@vidamaria2783 exactly haha
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I boycott Black Friday every year! It’s crazy and weird. I’ve been a retail worker on Black Friday and it was insane. NEWS FLASH GUYS: The sales aren’t even better than other sales throughout the year!
If retailers charged fair prices they wouldn't need 1 weekend a year to score profits.
Fair prices*
Pure Gold that’s not the fault of workers who are already underpaid
Jcpenney did that a few years ago, no more sales just low fair prices... the ended up closing lots of stores due to an abysmal year😬😬.. these companies understand the psyche of consumers. They know people to their core want to feel like they've gotten a deal
@@anthg4563 thanks.
OK BOOMER
Yeah, this happens all the time at my job. Especially the story about the customer stealing underwear. Management will tell you go and talk to the person who's stealing. I'm no about to risk getting stabbed. Let the person steal, they see me watching them. I just document it, since I know how the neighborhood can be. I can relate to that ladies story. The thieves don't care if you see them, they'll thank you if you still say anything and still walk out with the merchandise.
Yes! My store was the same way. People didn't care if they got caught! They knew we couldn't physically stop them and of course they didn't stick around for security to show up. Ugh!!
ミルスLaura my manager said try to do the talking thing but if they steal it don’t try to stop them cuz u don’t get paid enough for that 😂
I’m a manager at my store and a criminal justice major. So imagine how frustrated I am when I “talk to thieves” only for them to get away with it. The worse part is, my store is in a mall so they have great opportunities to escape before security comes to do anything about it. To add insult to injury, security always says “oh yeah, we know about them. But every time someone calls, we just missed them.” I’m, what exactly are they paying you for?
At my store, we were dealing with a lot of theft at the time so everyone was on high alert. I decided to organize the clearance section because it was right near the dressing room (where people typically steal) . So I begin to pick up clothes that have fallen on the ground and I see white shorts and suddenly I smell something horrific. Someone peed in their white shorts then threw them into the clearance section, and then stole a pair of our shorts. Mind you it was summer time in a badly air conditioned store.
Back in 2014 I was working Black Friday and this dude walked into my store styrofoam cup in hand sipping lean like it was no big deal.
Uh...and then?
Just looked up what lean is and omg 😂😂😂😂😂😂.
3:55 well I'd be pretty concerned if she only had half a baby
Well.... you don't really need a brain to work retail.
It’s just a saying . Calm down
D J it’s a figure of speech... y’all are so damn lame lmao
@@Feliciatanktop guessing you're making minimum wage in retail thats why I hurt your feelings.....😂😂 uneducated people are always so quick to anger...😄😄😂😭
I worked at Target and it was insanity. People were running and demanding items we didn’t have. One lady left to go to a Walmart across the street. I told her she had 15 minutes till we close. She left her basket and ran out. She came back at 1:30 am, beating on our doors and was kicking it too. Our security went out and escorted her to her car.
"A WHOLE BABY"
Wait... So there are half babys?
I love that guy.
We had customers coming in our break room telling people who were working a 12 hour hell shift they needed to get off their break and get back to work, another customer threw glass candles on the floor because they were tired of waiting in line. People destroyed fixtures and yelled at basically every employee they encountered. All black fridays are bad but this one was by far the worst in my store.
Man, it was so weird for me to not work Black Friday/Thanksgiving this year. Ive been working in retail for almost 8years and even though BF can be stressful there is some fun to it. I can say the worst thing thats ever happened to me is being thrown up on by a woman that was newly pregnant. That kinda sucked but her family was super sweet and came back with cash and gave me $100 bucks for the trouble.
“She had a whole baby” got me. LOL Why do people not realize you really only need 1/2 of a baby with you on Black Friday? The rest is just cumbersome to tote around.
I know you can just stick a couple legs in your pockets😃🤪😆
As a retail employee I can assure you, Black Friday is a nightmare. I had customers yelling and complaining that they have been waiting in line for 20 min and I’m like “amm... it’s freaking Black Friday, what are you expecting people?!” And ending up staying almost overnight cleaning the mess
Since working in retail I’ve found I LOVE saying no to angry/rude customers. I would volunteer to close the gates on people. They don’t deserve to come in 😈
Black Friday is literally the most dangerous holiday. I love it!💀
I want Angel's nails. They look perfect.
Why didn't I see this in the malls in Canada? Oh wait, it's Canada.
It's funny to me because I've always gone shopping in like Northern Minnesota and everyone lines up all nice helps each other grab things etc. Its very rare to see some kind of fight or something break out.
I would love to be there and watch how drama evolves there... and just tel them how they are going to hell for the stupidest reason lol
A lady scratched me when i was 11 cuz she was trying to get a toy out of my hand
child of the mountain what the frick 🤣🤣🤣
That's mean
The girl in the pink definitely worked in Hollister/Abercrombie. Still happens to this day 😪
It not worth it to me to see the rudeness of people fighting over material thing. And people bumping people with their shopping cart. No thank..I'm home reading a good book with tea.
BOYYY, YOUR NAILS ARE FIREEEEEEEEE😍😍😍🔥🔥🔥
I worked in retail for 22 years and retail management for 17 years and boyyyyyy do I have some stories uggghhh 😵
I want to know 😁
Hahah the 1st guys nails though🤘🏼🤘🏼🤣
one time i was working at michaels and they had me signed up to work black friday, i went in the day before and asked if i was getting pay and a half for black friday, BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY YOU SHOULD GET PAY AND A HALF FOR BLACK FRIDAY??? ESPECIALLY AT A RETAIL STORE??? my boss tells me, “absolutely not, why would you? we’re not even having any big sales, hardly anyone will come in.” let’s just say i DID NOT show up, DUH, the store got overwhelmed, and we lost a majority of our inventory out on the floor.
That biting story is unreal!
My wife and I go shopping for our son every Black Friday while his grandparents take him to see Santa. (He’s 6.) We usually leave the house around 9/10 A.M. and we’ve never had an issue and we can always find what we want to get him. Then we have a nice meal together and call it a day. Then Saturday we all go together and I cut down a Christmas tree my wife picks out at a local Christmas tree farm. Be an adult people.
Idk why people get so crazy. It’s just stuff. Ya it cool stuff but still. Def not worth it. I d never go to the us for Black Friday. Scary.
Honestly if ever you want a good horror/comedy film it would be Black Friday.
When I go to Black Friday I hope to see somebody get drop kicked or something😂😂
I’ve been Black Friday shopping since 2012 and it has NEVER been as bad as its made out to be. I’ve worked 3 at one of the most prominent stores and it wasn’t bad at all (other than working for 16 hours straight). Even as a shopper, ive stopped to help others find what they’re looking for 😂 maybe we’re just more friendly in Texas
We have Black Friday in Canada but nothing like this happens. People are respectful and kind of to each other.
Black Friday builds character. 😌
Blacl friday is like the hunger games
But worse.
XxIts_Monica305Xx XxIts_Monica305Xx at least in hunger games people are fighting for something meaningful like their lives
Worked a Black Friday at target 3-4 years ago. Everything seemed fine I just yelled at a lot for why me and others couldn’t sell them beer . In my area after 2am you can’t buy it until 8am.
I'm so glad BF is not this serious in Canada. 😅
That’s bc all Canadians shop in America EVERY DAY BRO... 🤣🤣🤣🤣 FACTS - y’all cross the border on the daily to get better prices stateside (aside from the like 1% that don’t live on the border... but those ppl also don’t really have shops period) 🤷🏼♀️🤷🏼♀️🤷🏼♀️
luckily the one year I worked at WalMart I was going to college too so the one big day of the week with my classes were on Fridays so I had it off, Thank every spiritual being you know of it, I was a truck unloader so I did have to move all the Black Friday product that came in towards the build up of the day, so was interesting to find places to cram it all in the stock room
Did anybody notice the first guy’s nails? Yas Queen 👑
"Just shop on cyber Monday" then I drown in packages cause I work at ups 🤣 pretty much like November through December though.
Don’t forget porch 🏴☠️ pirates!!!
My first time working Black Friday to New Year's Day, traumatized me so much.
I stopped working in that industry five years ago, and I still have a hard time celebrating because people are psychos. But, therapy helped. People on the street would say, "Merry Christmas" and I'd want to say "Shut up" or "Go to hell" in return.
I don't do that. And I no longer have the urge to tell every child that Santa isn't real and there is no joy in the world. I do, however, suffer from minor agoraphobia that heightens around the holidays, but it's getting better. Yay.
3:50 how do you know exactly what was happening, I guess I only way if you you were watching, but why were you just letting it happen?! Lmao 😂
Working at the dental office inside of Walmart, I was legit looking forward to seeing what it must be like on Black Friday... 😄😂🤔
Black Friday sales have come to Australia and this video makes Aussies look normal!!
Working in retail for the first time as a 17 year old girl and today is Black Friday. Wish me luck please 🥸
Canadian black Friday is like any other normal day
I like how Black Friday is after thanksgiving lol where thanksgiving is all happy then the next day all hell breaks loose haha
I did Black Friday for 5 years... NEVER AGAIN!!!! Lol
I shopped all day black friday and it was so fun honestly
I always hear these stories and made me SCARED. This year was my first year going and I went at midnight and I had a great experience. Lines weren’t bad and everyone was respectful and I live in NY. 🤷🏻♀️
I live in Canada and we went to a store to get my fitbit on boxing day. My bf was driving and someone was backing up out of a spot so my bf puts on his blinker. This guy on the opposite side blocks the spot saying he's backing into it. My bf says, "Dude I had my blinker on you didn't." He wouldn't budge so my bf just took a different spot. Most Canadian fight I've ever seen lol. No yelling, no honking, just a convo and drove off
Caught a virus and had to call out of work for Black Friday. I physically feel miserable, but I will count it as a blessing.
Last time I worked on Black Friday (and retail) was 2 years ago. The people turn into werewolves and after the end of the day, we had to clean up the mess they left! One time I got home close to 3am because of the mess people made at the store! I don't miss it at all! I now work at an office job and enjoy not working weekends.
In fairness to the people asking for a bathroom - obviously, they were incredibly rude and the store wasn't obligated to offer them use of a toilet (as that guy said, it made it really easy to steal stuff from the stock room).
BUT a lack of public bathrooms is actually a huge problem in many Western countries. In the UK, more and more of them are closing because funding cuts for local councils means they can no longer afford to maintain them. Just imagine, if big companies that hold Black Friday sales paid their fair share in taxes, maybe we'd have more funding for public facilities people could use all year round 🤔
I've been out of retail for a while now and this video triggered all the old holiday anxiety.
Wowza. And to to think I thought that just having to stand in long lines during Black Friday was bad! RIP to all those American retail workers.
I used to work in the Kohls shoe department. One black friday they were having a sale on some fake Ugg boots, and customers were literally throwing shoes at each other. It was 1am, boots were whizzing past my head, and it was that moment I vowed to myself to never work another black friday in retail ever again.
Good luck to everyone working tomorrow!
Damm people needs to be nice with employees not just Black Friday, but the retail workers and food workers they work hard and be nice to them because is not easy .
I never shopped during Black Friday and I live by that
