Society and the MASE RULES OF RETAIL
Part I
Things I am reading are finally making sense. In social situations it seems like I am in a circus, yet a mundane show where I am the only act. Everyone is a spectator--cynical and critical with no solutions. Everyone is looking around at each other to see what the other will say about the act--"Is it good? Is it worthy of applause?" These were just my observations for tonight.
Part II
My Job. I have discovered that there are a set of rules. IF YOU WORK RETAIL, THIS IS HELPFUL TO YOU. Retail really blows.
Rule 1: The "I am right, Boss you are stupid" Rule. Very simple. Find a task (ie. a pile of clothes that are unfolded). In this case, you should fold them very slowly, then take another stack of clothes and mess them up. It will become a never ending pile. Just tell your boss that the children keep messing them up. Yes, it is the small children (that are helping you NOT do what the boss wants! haha!)
Rule 2: The "Bathroom" Rule. Simple. Take as many long bathroom breaks as possible. Stare at the wall and hum show tunes. If your boss EVER (which they won't if you do it at correct intervals) questions you, just say--"I am (ugh) so sorry. I will tell my mom to not cook "bean-fried-bean-casserole" tomorrow. UGH!"
Rule 3: The "Wandering and Dodging" Rule. Easy. Stay clear of everyone. Find a corner and stay there, but make sure there are clothes or something you can look at and pretend you are doing if you get caught. When wandering around the store, make sure you have a shirt or something in your hand and don't look at anyone--just forward and on task. Lalalala, I'm doing nothing but I look like I am!! (They'll never know SUCKAS!)
Rule 4: The "I will obey you" Rule. Whenever your boss speaks to you, smile and say "OKAY! THANK YOU!" to everything. You want your boss to think that you will do anything they say and are a good loyal worker (EVEN THOUGH YOU HATE THEM!). DOUBLE SUCKAS!
Retail. It is crappy, it is boring, it is worthless. Remember, this isn't immoral, and it isn't bad because FOR GOODNESS SAKES YOU ARE GETTING 7.35 AN HOUR AND CAN'T PUT THIS ON UR RESUME. Obey the rules. They will save you from suicide.
