Working retail can absolutely be hell on earth but there is one thing that makes it a little easier: memes. Memes are hilarious, relatable and make you feel less alone. And trust me you’re not—there are so many of us suffering in retail with you. Especially with the holidays just around the corner, we could all use a list of funny retail memes. 

So, if you work in retail or have ever had a retail job then you will surely relate to these memes below, and if you have never worked retail, then hopefully these memes will remind you to always be nice to retail workers.

 

The dreadful two minute before closing…

The customer who’s rude AF!

The holidays…

It’s that wonderful time of the year…

The know-it-all customer…

Watching a customer destroy something you just straightened

That feeling when you lock the doors…

The customer who thinks you give a damn that their rude ass is out the door 

Answering the phone…

“Can I speak to your manager?” 

No words for customers like this, only screams…

The fake face you gotta wear 

That feeling when…

The last-minute hot mess customers who are rude to you 

You want a return? Bring the receipt PERIOD!

Weekends…

Amen

Just saying, the customer is truly almost always wrong 

That moment when…

Raise a glass 

To all my fellow retail workers out there, I hope this list brought you a little laughter and joy, and may we all survive this holiday season. 

XOXO
