Respect and retail

 In my experience are mutually exclusive.  If you're working retail you are going to be disrespected.  

I have had a customer throw something at me, 2 more lie to me, and cussed out in Spanish just in my first 4 hours on the clock.  And that's a pretty typical day.  

My boss will attempt, now and again, to say "please, thank you, good job" but overall is abrupt and demanding at best.  And that's ok.  

I asked God to help me work on humility and this does the job.  That's how I see it.

Another employee is having a big adjustment today after a very high ranking manager asked her to do something.  There is only one proper response: yes ma'am and go do it. 

She did not have the proper response.  I suspect that may cost her job
