A place to exchange stories about your bosses, employees, or those interesting customers you see daily.
Remember that customer who yelled at you over coupons?
Do I really have to wear this ridiculous polo shirt?
The things you do after customers leave
Come, put your name tag on, and let's get the stress of work off of our chest.
Welcome to Tales From Retail. Your post should be a story about your retail experience!
If you want to ask a question, please use:

Posting Rules
- No memes, reaction gifs, image links, copypasta, etc.
- No "it's my caek dae, givez me karma" posts
- No "chanspeak" posts - use complete sentences, please
- No circlejerk, spamming, revenge, gore or porn posts
- No tales of racism or stereotyping, either. They never end well.
- No ranting without a story involved
- No links to someplace else, TFR is for your stories
- No "meta" posts. If you have an issue, message the mods
- We always want to see more stories. Saying "Would you guys want to hear more?!" is fairly kind of annoying.
- If your post is not a story, it will be removed.
- If your post was plagiarized, or taken from somewhere else word by word, and ISN'T your story, you will be B&.
Commenting Rules
- Don't be a jerk
- Do not single out users
- No personal attacks - you will be banned
- No bigotry or hateful language. Repeated use will result in a ban.
- Racism will ALWAYS result in a ban. Please report it when you see it.
- Swearing (in comments AND posts) should be limited as it results in spamfiltering.
- Avoid politics
- No trolling, you will be banned.
- Please do not reply with "r/ThatHappened". You do not have to trust the validity of the story, but if you doubt a story, just downvote and move on. There is nothing we can do about a post, unless it was plagiarized or taken from another site word for word.
Anonymizing Rules
- No personal info (your name, employer, or other identifiable qualities).
- No clever hints as to where you work, just put: "Grocery, Retail, Fast Food, etc."
- This means no fake names, either. There's almost always a real business with that name somewhere.
- Posts with business names will be removed without warning.
- Don't actively guess business names or solicit personal information in the comments. You may be banned without warning.
Post/Comment not showing up?
- There is a good chance that it was removed by our very picky automod. If you feel your Post, or Comment was removed in error, please do not hesitate to contact us mods. We will review your content, and reapprove it granted it didn't break any rules.
Moderation Rules
- Message the mods if you have any questions, comments, or concerns.
- Remember, moderation is always at the discretion of the moderators.
- Trolling the mods, or pissing us off will result in us making fun of you and then banning you.
