Current Events > Have you ever met a retail manager who actually believed "The customer...

(+) Yeah! (+)

..is always right?" Idk, maybe most customers do believe this idk, seems very few retail managers believe it

Every retail job I worked at my manager was either insane and had a plot to murder every customer that walked in within seeing them for 5 seconds or just straight up disappeared for 90% of their shift.

oh you think most retail managers do a pretty shit job?

Back when i worked retail, my "team leader" was a real tryhard in that regard.

Just let the customers walk right over her and bent over backwards for them.

Naturally they also had the "all employees are lazy thieves that dont deserve respect". She treated all of us wagies like trash.

It was kinda sad. Its not even like she was making bank there. She made like 13 an hour with 0 overtime allowed.

I've seen this before as well. Treat customers like kings and treat employees like shit? I don't get it, What?

I love their thinking.

"Without them you wouldnt have a job!"

Uhh, bitch. Without us YOU wouldnt have a job and THEY wouldnt have someone to help them find their overpriced toys in the clearly labeled aisles.

KB toys, CVS, local grocery stores.

KB toys had the psycho, but it was also my first and favorite job ever.

Never had a manager that dumb, surprisingly. Not even in the decade I spent at Walmart.
