"If there's interest, I'll post some of my work stories from #retail #jail #restaurants #morgues #orphanages #whatever" ...... just post them and let us read!
Edit: FRONT PAGE! First time for me! You guys popped my front page cherry. Glad the new meme struck a chord. Now let's see what rewards this merits!
Intheshadowofgiants
Already posted my work stories from prison
temujin9
See . . . that assumes a lot of interest in something we assume is boring. Does anyone care to read stories about programming? Probably not.
Black0rchids
We’re weirdos.

iloveunbreakablekimmythemesong
You know they have to write the stories in order to post them, right?
SuburbanRob0t
+1 cuz it made me follow orphanages
Heathimus
Are those the Infinity Stones?
rrlyrae
i want to read the rest of the story about the person who hid a "kill code" in an essential company program before being laid off,
humaneffigy
You're opening the door to some pretty boring shit though.

On the other hand, I spend like 3 hours drawing up a music recommendation thread one night, to educate dudes on hip hop... Had like 8 views.
FitzroySpark
I do see a difference here I'm not musically inclined so an educational video wont work (for me) Still, I'd like to hear your experiences
Aceh0le87
no not an educational video, I was just posting some recommendations for people new to hip hop, or looking to expand their knowledge on it.
heyopeps
I've been thinking about doing that for taxi driving.
thegirlsarecryingandtheboysaremasturbating
I mean, I want to do Work stories but it’s so time consuming.
kidfropro
Except it takes a couple hours to put one together & it'd be nice to know if people actually wanted to hear it before you put in the time.
FitzroySpark
That's a fair point and probably hinders a lot of creators
ChaChaChoad
I work at a pet store. Dog shit happens, and sometimes the customer walking the dog doesn’t notice so the dog ends up walking and shitting
ChaChaChoad
Leaving a trail of shit behind them. So one day I was cleaning up a trail of shit, and the trail led to the woman’s bathroom. YEP I was

CLEANING UP HUMAN SHIT!!!! It was ALL OVER THE BATHROOM FLOOR!!!
HexDarkwood
I listened to comedy skits all day at work and I work retail and was underwhelmed when I didn't find any bitching about working retail. 1
HexDarkwood
Sooooo many possibilities for a good roast on retail customers. Sadly I am not funny enough to do it.
DavidAndrews
Sometimes it's about also asking what people want to know as well, I wouldn't know where to begin.
otakudude909
Yeah, well.... I wish I was a little bit taller, I wish I was a baller, I wish I had a girl who looked, good, I would call her...
Bystandr
I think its more of a need for validation, and among some, possibly a need to be polite. Everyone likes being asked about rather than just
Bystandr
pouring it out without a prompt.
icantfigureoutacleverusername
It's so they can say " you guys asked for stories "
Snooj
Maybe those people don't want to write up 20 stories in order to get 4 upvotes and six people in USub calling them stupid.
Koldfront
AND MISS THE CHANCE TO DOUBLE DOWN ON RETARDED FAKE INTERNET POINTS?????
fellowimgurean
Preach it my man!
VoIdemort
Do you really want to hear stories about my flower business?
Mercenarity
Fucking flower biz? Fuck yeah.
FitzroySpark
Actually, I do. I like reading about ppls lives that I will never ever experience first hand
thatabbyrose
To be fair, I've done posts like that, and they die in usersub. I want to read the stories too, but I also know how crushing it is >
thatabbyrose
> to put that much work into something, only to have it flounder.
ThisWorldMakesMeSad
How else would they whore for points?
kuradag
And not deliver
hiptobesquare
That's a good point... didn't think of that
reff42
Or how else do they know if people will give them enough points to bother?
Einhander696
This; it's just an elaborate method of double-dipping.
Theoreticalheretic
I figured it was a test to see if the post was worth the effort involved
vivuperkafe
I work a job almost everyone has worked, AMA. I think most people don't think their job is that interesting or special.
smallchanceofsuccess
Even better. People can relate, and then share their own
hiptobesquare
The whole idea is, though, to tell the stories anyway and let us decide if they're interesting.
ArtOzz
One day. One glorious day. I will remember AND have the will to write mine. One day...
hiptobesquare
2018 is your year..... Do it
Mightymashedpotato9
I work in one of the most corrupt prisons in the U.S. (I assume) really getting fed up with the lawlessness of my bosses. Ill happily 1)
Mightymashedpotato9
2) tell u some stories
cpcgamer
One time a guy went "It won't scan? Guess it's free!" and I've never felt a stronger urge to kill.
xecs78
In B.C. if the price is wrong and under $10, it’s free.
Metallica93
Oh, God. So when my dad jokes about it and then I become my dad and joke about it, I should probably stop? I'm so sorry :(
LvAllen
Hey, that's my line! I made that up. Joke-thief must have been right behind me one time.
MinisterKai
My uncle once pulled the "guess it's free" joke and the nice girl at the register let that item go for free. Afterwards he still insisted1/2
MinisterKai
2/2 on using his military ID to get a discount on everything else.
MildTiger
I gave up trying to counter it. That just gets a straight faced "no" from me now.
Ruhig
I say that, and then laugh and laugh at the expression on their face. "Bet you've never heard that one before."
Derpybearr
“My coupon is expired but can you use it anyway?” ............
BooneDocs9
Retail... same idiots in every environment...
alwaysL8
I work retail, and I say this to customers. And they're like "what, really?" "No. I'll go price check it". It's fun turning the tables.
HannibalPoopsPeople
Do you work at the serial killing factory?
Squittles
I had an SO that did that. It was a factor in why I left him. I couldn't watch as he tormented those poor retail people anymore.
HeroHadley
Oh my god, yes!
ReitnesTenought
Never before working in retail have I wanted to tear my own head off.
jinko82
and this is why i work in the back and refuse to work cashier.
ReitnesTenought
I used to work overnight at Target, unloading the truck and stocking shelves. It was great, only like 2 customers per year.
jinko82
what a coincidence i started as sfs and now work back room at target. did that truck shit twice last week and hope i never do it again.

"all these card machines are different"
SargSteve
Oh I got one for ya. Couple came in and sat at the bar 10 min before we close. Got drinks and food totaled around 300$. They were the 1/?
SargSteve
Only ones in the restaurant. Towns power grid went out as they were finishing. Our computers were down so the woman laughing said 2/
SargSteve
"I guess it's all free right? Teehee" Manager had no choice but to comp them. They didn't even leave a tip.
OnlyTheLonelyImgurians
ugh... my friend of 19 years said that to a cashier the other day. I almost walked out of the store and left him, I was so disgusted.
TonyStankk
Why? What if they’re just saying it to be silly, all the while knowing they’re still going to pay for it regardless? ...asking for a friend
Matehfiera
Cause you dont hear it once nor twice.. its just infinite till you explode its a loop of pain
GreekTrojan
Its just such a common, lazy, unoriginal joke that is used over and over and over and over again.
ClestonleeMurray
The first time I didn’t mind. The first thousand times I didn’t mind. The second day it started getting to me...
DuallyNotedAsshat
Every damn time I clean windows, nearly every fucking person pretends to smudge them. I told a guy today, “Gee that NEVER gets old Brian!”
smallchanceofsuccess
Did you guess his name?
arumunus
Hahaha! Kids laying on EVERYTHING. Child that is a SCAFFOLDING DISPLAY.
RickdiculousSquancher
On my first day in retail the first customer I had pulled this shit. I almost quit right there.
AreYouFuckinSorryIsAStupidComment
True story, my beer wouldn't scan last week. Cashier said "I flipping hate this place, it's your lucky day." and gave me free beer.
GreatTeacherMichael
When I worked retail I could give anything away for free except alcohol. Cashier should be more careful, could lose their job.
GodzillaHarddiskson
I did that once, when our register crashed five minutes before closing time. That old POS ran OS/2 on a 486 and took 18 minutes to reboot.
pestcontrolking454
I was that cashier at some point.
AreYouFuckinSorryIsAStupidComment
Thank you.
Acefowl
...ONLY one time? Did you quit immediately after?

Mistruths
No, cpcgamer got convicted for murder.
GreekTrojan
Fortunately for him the jury ruled in his favor and assessed the deceased's estate significant damages for the trauma inflicted.
servingmytimeinusersub
I clean out porta potties, would you be interested in hearing my stories?
Muttons1337
OP just said he wishes that you don't ask, just post!
DeltaBladeX
Yes. Short be interesting hearing about people that drop their valuables in, fall in themselves, tip it over and basically coat the inside.
phantomgallery
no
servingmytimeinusersub
Well fine!
GuardsmanMiku
wait no
samsonguy920
...stop come back
FitzroySpark
Yeah. I'd be curious to know which type of event has the best and/or worst when it comes to porta potties. Bring it on
KnifeKnut
Strangest thing found in one?
thanksfoenothing
Shit post? Hell yah
hiptobesquare
Of course! Bring them on!
servingmytimeinusersub

hiptobesquare

servingmytimeinusersub

hiptobesquare
