Or just maybe it sucks to hear the same bone-deep-lovely "joke" sixty-seven times a day from someone who automatically assumes you are worthless trash for working retail.

Telling jokes and engaging in small talk is a way that human beings acknowledge their peers and engage them as a show of empathy, it's literally the opposite of treating someone like worthless trash. People who work in retail really do deserve the hell they create for themselves.

No, actually, gently caress you, you stupid jackfuck.

E: to clarify, even dirty SERVICE INDUSTRY GARBAGE HOLES can be annoyed by stupid repetitive poo poo. They are also people! Go gently caress a rake.

I was just speaking from past experience and trying to show empathy. It’s entirely plausible that you’re just an rear end in a top hat.

It's entirely possible you suck poo poo at showing empathy, but I am rear end in a top hat. Has nothing to do with your shithead comment, I am just an rear end in a top hat independently.

It’s more that that retail specifically weaponises small talk and banter as a way to drive sales which has a dehumanising effect on a substantial amount of people who do it. Some people gleefully excel at it but imo those people are psychopaths

Retail can be a lot of fun if it pays well and you actually sell cool stuff. Customers who shop for niche things are actually invested in learning and conversation. People who are assholes to retail staff are the ones who dehumanise the trade.

Also, markets and selling goods/trading are as old as humanity; get over yourselves.

Hmm, would you say you have a "passion" for working in video game design? Good, that means we can work you harder and pay you less.

I got this title for the dumbest fucking possible take on sea shanties. Specifically, I derailed the meme thread because sailors in the 18th century weren't woke enough for me, and you shouldn't sing sea shanties. In fact, don't have any fun ever.
Hey poors, have you considered not being poor??? Pull yourself up by your bootstraps! I, Brewmaster, am so smart and everyone should listen to my bourgious wisdom as I post memes that are making fun of people like me! gently caress the proletariat, make America great again, Trump 2020!!!!

I worked retail all throughout high school and most of uni, and it does in fact suck. The work itself sucks way less than professional office work, but the pay is bad. If I could make my CPA salary working at BestBuy or whatever other dumb store, I'd do it so fast.

Work also sucks way more than school almost no matter what. The first work most of do is retail so if you've had a mostly sheltered life working retail will literally be the worst thing that's ever happened to you.

I kind of sometimes wish I never went to university or maybe just got an AA and stayed in retail and got to management and just kept doing that instead of the poo poo I do now. I wouldn't have been able to afford being married but that's overrated also.

Stay a single retail person, if possible.
