Funniest Retail Memes for Exhausted Employees Who Aren't Paid Enough to Deal With Karens

There are few lines of work that are as soul sucking as retail. A person needs patience, self control, and complacency in order to survive in an environment where customers will literally ask you where the swimsuit section is when you're surrounded by trunks and bikinis. It's truly baffling how stupid people become when they're browsing for day-wear or other household goods, like it's required (as a customer) to check your brain at the door when you enter. Dealing with dummies wouldn't be so bad if retail didn't also include the great white whale of horrors to manage: The Karens. 

Minimum wage employees are not equipped or paid enough to get screamed at by a boomer with chunky highlights, side bangs, and indoor sunglasses. Karens can sense when a retail worker is at their wits end, endlessly scanning and stocking as if their lives depend on it, and they use this weakness to feel more powerful. So yes, you can speak to my manager because frankly, I'm about to quit.
