Common sense is rare in this manager's retail store. Well, it's not the whole store---just one manager who has no common sense about anything.

When you work in retail, it can feel like managers have a far easier job than you. While workers have to stand on their feet for eight hours dealing with mean customers, crowded aisles, and answering the same questions over and over, managers get to chill in the back room. No matter how long the line of customers gets, you can be sure to find your boss lounging in a back room watching a YouTube video on their phone or eating some takeout. It seems like an enviable job! I'm sure there's actual responsibilities somewhere in the job description… but that never seems to translate over to the actual day-to-day life of a manager.

This person writes that they had to deal with managers at various different stores who had little respect for them. U/DistrictEquivalent79 shares that as a field service engineer, they were actually a higher up in a large retail chain. But since they drove from store to store each day, managers often assumed they were a lowly employee who they could talk down to. That's a mistake this one manager won't make again.

Up next, these people had the perfect comebacks.
