20+ Retail workers who had exciting days on the job: 'He actually told you that?!'

Retail work is mostly 364 days that are all the same… and then one that's so exciting, you'll never forget it. 

Unforgettable days can be good or bad, as the retail workers below can tell you. One sandwich shop worker's worst day involved making 14 sandwiches, during lunch rush, for the world's slowest orderer. A different person had a memorable day trying to explain the concept of "10% off" to a customer who just couldn't comprehend it. And someone else accidentally locked a customer in a dressing room while they took their 15-minute lunch break, and sadly got fired for it. 

At least on these days of craziness, the retail workers weren't bored! Check out a bunch of great stories below (and definitely don't skip the "dentures story," or the stories from a person who had a bird living in their store for 2 years straight). 

Next, read about some people whose coworkers are driving them berserk, like one person who admitted, "It was easily the worst shift I ever had."
