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.
