Dear customers, wait your turn.

polaroidsredwine @polaroidsredwine (509) • United States 17 Jan 13

A few days ago at work I was rather busy assisting one customer, trying to answer all her questions. I glanced away for a brief second and it must've been a cue to another customer that I was free or something, despite the fact...

Rare nice customers on Black Friday

polaroidsredwine @polaroidsredwine (509) • United States 23 Nov 12

Encountering the few people who are genuinely nice and patient when it comes to us retail workers who pull shifts on Black Friday make the entire day worth it, in my opinion. Today I had to drag ladders out for several...

When people talk about you while you're near them

polaroidsredwine @polaroidsredwine (509) • United States 5 Oct 12

This is definitely one of the things I hate the most. It's one thing to talk behind my back when I'm not around, it's another when you're in the next room over (or, even worse, in the same room), talking in hushed voices...

Cleaning: a neverending struggle

polaroidsredwine @polaroidsredwine (509) • United States 16 Apr 12

I swear, I've been devotedly working to get my house in tip-top shape the last few days, yet it seems every time that I wake up the next day, the entire place is back to the state it was the day before. I seriously wonder how...

The power of tears, or - how to get your job back, apparently

polaroidsredwine @polaroidsredwine (509) • United States 23 Mar 12

I got fired from my last job from making too many mistakes. Okay, I can accept that. It was kind of crushing because I was really hoping to keep it since I was in dire need of the money (go figure, still hunting for a job though...

Little fears

polaroidsredwine @polaroidsredwine (509) • United States 18 Mar 12

I ended up taking a nap just before it started to get dark, and when I woke up it was dark out. I was laying just under the window, and since it was pitch-black out, I couldn't see anything, and suddenly I thought, "What if...

And then she broke my window.

polaroidsredwine @polaroidsredwine (509) • United States 11 Dec 11

Sound doesn't wake me up when I'm sleeping. I'm practically impervious to it since I've lived near train tracks and had construction going on far too close to me, so I've just learned to sleep through noise. So it's easy to see...

You can raise money for a sick cat, but not poor people

polaroidsredwine @polaroidsredwine (509) • United States 6 Dec 11

The Regretsy community had been trying to buy toys for children in need this Christmas. A giant gift exchange program happened, wherein someone could buy a gift for a kid. They raised so much money that they had enough to donate...
