Sad but kinda funny story looking back on it now
Alright so this happened about 2 years ago now and like the situation wasn’t (and isn’t) funny, but I can look back on this particular story now & kinda have a laugh at it if that makes any sense?
Ok so anyways, back in 2021, one of my good friends unfortunately passed away. Naturally, I was going through horrible grief. However, four days after that happened, I had to (attempt) to go back to work, as I was scheduled for a 4 hour shift.
I try to keep it together but in the end, I wind up literally sobbing as I’m entering the building to go clock in. 119
I clock in, not even 10 minutes into my shift, as I’m very obviously & visibly ugly sobbing, a guy walks up to me and asks if I can point him in the right direction of an item he was looking for. Through my tears, I say something along the lines of “yes, those should be on aisle ___”.
I’m just sharing this because I find it funny how oblivious customers are to, well, literally anything- gigantic bold, bright signs stating store policies right in front of their faces, store hours, a worker literally SOBBING in front of them, etc. 🤣 ah, such is the life of a retail worker. 156
