There really are very few jobs that are as soul-draining, and where you are treated as poorly, as retail. Even if that list is short, one job that might just manage to qualify is that of a retail security guard. It's even more thankless, and more looked down upon than retail itself; sure, you don't have to complete the same repetitive tasks as the retail workers do, but that repetitiveness is usually replaced with nothing. Nothing, that is, except the increased abuse from both clientele and retail managers. You're going to be running the most degenerate and unruly customers out of the store, probably going to be expected to stop shoplifters, and get unbridled abuse from any a-hole manager who happens to work at that location.

This guard was accosted by the manager of a store he was shopping at while off-duty in his uniform, and it presented a chance for him to exact a little petty revenge.
