Working in retail can be a tough gig and nothing is worse than when some know-it-all tells you how easy your job is.

We know exactly how you feel.

If you’re quietly nodding to any of these, take a load off, read the following, and just laugh it off – don’t lie, we know you’ve had these thoughts.

1. When you come into work late and your boss doesn’t notice

2. Only to realize that he did notice and you’re not so slick after all…
