Three years in retail, and I swear, nothing builds patience like dealing with customers who treat you like their personal punching bag. One minute they’re friendly, next minute they’re shouting over a discount that expired last week. And somehow, the customer is always right. 😮💨 My friend switched to office work and keeps telling me to do the same, but I actually enjoy retail—just hate the way we get treated. Stay or go?

Honestly, I left retail because the emotional toll was too much. Office work isn’t always easier, but at least people don’t yell at you over expired promos. If you love retail, maybe try a supervisory role or a brand with a chill vibe?
