My teacher would always say that there are no stupid questions, but I think he just never had to work retail cause that’s very clearly not true

I legit had someone ask if my work sold "higher quality" Santa hats yesterday... took everything in me not to say "Ma'am this is a Dollar Tree.. I'm surprised you think we have any quality."

No

Or anything that has to do with dealing with adults that have no common sense….including fellow educational professionals.

As cruel as it sounds I so agree. Sometimes I start listing the stupidest questions to see if the clients or my colleagues win lol

A long post: seeking some perspective. My husband of 2 years that I’ve been in a relationship with for more than 8 years just woke up one day and told me that he’s unhappy in our relationship. I’m devastated because he’s never expressed anything like this in the 8 years. He’s been super supportive and loving, even when we were in a long distance relationship. He supported my career and dreams and this just doesn’t make sense. We have gotten a counselor but things aren’t getting better. Comment>

Who else here feels like the entire restaurant industry deserves an overhaul? We rely on tips because it's basically assumed that everyone will tip, but in reality there are people who tip very little or just don't at all. Some days I'll make around $200 and other days only $50 and it's really not stable at all.

I'm a cashier. We just got a new manager, and she's making things really hard for us. She starts work at 4:30am and leaves around 2:30pm, but she still expects us to stay until 6pm and work on the weekends! She gives us really long shifts and doesn't give us much time for breaks. And when we ask her about it, she gets mad.

I'm worried that if I speak up, she'll make my life even harder. I don't want to lose my job because of this—do you guys have any advice?
