- I wouldn't say that out loud because like,
I like my job and they won't be fired.
- I don't even remember how I clean that up.
I blocked it out. So gross.
- You just counting your grandma
with a bunch of adult toys like how do you feel?
(upbeat music)
- [Swatsi] So one day I had a customer come in
and she seemed pretty cool. She was fun.
She was chewing on a big wad of bubblegum that big.
I'm not even kidding. I was helping her out.
She tried on at least 30 to 40 pieces of clothing.
And then I rang her up at the end because that's
what you're supposed to do.
And of course, I had to go back to
the fitting room after to clean up
I opened up a fitting room
and the clothes were just all over the floor,
not even one piece of code and they were all over the floor.
There were shoe prints on some of
the pieces of clothing that was foundation all over
some of the pieces of clothing.
It was a disaster.
So I cleaned those up
and I start hanging them up in the fitting room itself.
And then I look at the ground again
and I noticed that big wad of bubble gum just stuck to
the floor surrounded in spit.

- I worked in this girl boutique and I was
Like the go to girl for pageant stuff
because in total I probably competed for like 10 years.
That's like 50 plus pageants.
But I was also like, not
the stereotypical pageant girl
I didn't look like a Barbie
unless I was all dolled up when we would work in the store.
You know, we would wear all black
and be pretty modest, one day
this young woman walks in maybe like
five years older than me
and she tells us that she's competing in
Miss Florida USA pageant.
It was gonna be a fun experience though. I thought.
I have never seen someone look so far down their nose at me
and I'm not sure so it takes a lot,
a lot to look down your nose at me.
I found out through talking to her
that this was going to be her first big pageant
for some reason.
She just felt like she just knew everything.
I tried to help pick dresses for her.
And everything I picked. There's a problem.
It started to become less about the actual clothing
and more about me and my tastes
and anything I picked wouldn't be good enough.
The attitude was reeking from
a mile away that my boss pulled me over
at one point and she's like hey, wrap it up.
She needs to go she ended up walking out
not getting anything because she just
I know she just didn't want to work with me
let's forward two weeks later
the reigning Miss Florida USA is having a really big party.
I walk over to the reigning Miss Florida USA
and like OMG!,she's like OMG! I look over
and the city queen local title holder
that had been so shady and so rude.
And so obnoxious to move me is over there
with her mouth on the floor. Hello.
She also didn't realize
I was the reigning IJM Miss Florida team
but the part that got like
a little bit weird essentially,
like proceeded to add me
on every social media platform I was on.

- So back in high school,
I used to work for a very special erotic gift store.
That's what a lot of malls if you know you now,
which I don't know is everything bad
that happens at the mall happens on the weekend.
This particular weekend, I was covering a shift.
We were having a sale on Adult toys that weekend,
I was working at the cash register as normal.
One girl came in. I think she was about 21 years old
and she was with her grandmother. And she's like, psst
Can you help me pick out a vibrator
because she didn't want her grandmother to know,
I wanted to know she'd like me to me to be like a decoy
or something, which I was willing to do.
And she's like, oh, but she's blind. So it's fine.
I was like, okay, so why are you concerned?
She started looking around, you know,
she's like, going through all the little packages
and she spots like, honestly was like a really big one,
like right at the top. Okay,
I was like, you know, I'll go get a ladder.
I'll be right back and she's like, Oh, that's not necessary.
She starts climbing the adult toys wall
like she's rock climbing or something.
She kicks this shelf that's like near the very top
and tell me why they like come crashing down
and like pelting the grandma and I was just like,
grandma reaches on the ground with her blind self
and grabs one of the adult toys
basically like turned it on like no hesitation
like just turned it on and started like, bzz
the girl trying to play it off.
She was like, Oh, hey, we're in an electronics store.
You know you're gonna break something
and the grandmas like, Don't lie to me.
I know what this is,
me and your grandfather used to use these when he was alive.
I'll take this one. You know she's a little freak.
We love that, the girl honestly look like she want to puke
or faint at that point.
And I was just like, Girl,
I'm just here for my check.
(upbeat music)
- [Sean] I worked in a mom and pop boutique.
It was like a pretty small but semi luxurious kind of store.
We had some really cool stuff literally
in these fake Gucci sunglasses.
This woman walks in and says I've arrived
and she was like, Yes, I want to try on all these dresses.
Great get that bag of the Commission.
So we got 10 dresses for her and we gave it to her to try on
After coming out in the first dress,
she was like, Hey, can you take a picture
for me real quick
and then that one picture became two pictures
which became three pictures
which became a 30 minute photo shoot for her.
In the dressing room.
I asked her, Hey, do you want to buy any of the dresses
and she goes, um, can I check the jewelry instead
I knew what she was doing at this point.
So I talked to my manager.
He came down and he was like,
sorry, Miss I Am gonna asked you to leave.
She threw a hissy fit. She was upset.
She was like, This is horrible.
I hate this establishment.
Your worker sucks. I woke up the next morning
and I checked my social media is always
get a tagged is the same girl caption.
Wow, I love this great sponsorship.
Everyone treats me like a queen and I love it.
Here you are treating me and my manager like crap,
and then hear you on social media promoting love
and beauty and happiness.
But you know what? It's okay.
Because her follow to light ratio was absolutely horrible.
It seemed like she had Xbox
(clicks)
(upbeat music)
like at the end of the day,
We till workers are just like anyone else
and they deserve at least respect.
- There are a lot of customers
who do forget that retail workers
are also just human beings working.
- Or are just trying to make a living out here
so why be rude and condescending you look down
on someone who's just trying to earn their key.
- Young you start being nicer to these people
because they are doing a service
for y'all and y'all need to be rude.
