Anyone who's worked in retail has
probably participated in this thing I
call "circle talk" and it is by far one
the most exhausting and irritating
parts of my job.
12-05 PM Jan 19, 2019- Twitter Web App
Circle talk is when a customer asks
you a question, but when you answer
it, they continue to stare at you
blankly. So you repeat your answer
over and over, slightly rephrasing it
until it permeates their brain.
"How big does this cactus grow?"
"It'll get quite large, but it's very slow
growing, so you won't see much of a
difference until almost 10 years"
"Oh my wife has one that's like half
metre"
"Yes that must be quite old"
"So they can get that big?"
"Yes but not for a long time"
"about 10 years?"
"YES"

Some retail complaints from twitter this
morning. I don't think anyone can fully
comprehend how stupid humans are until they
work a retail or hospitality job.

I'd like to add on the people who ask a question,
get an answer they don't like and ask the same
question in a different way to get the response
they want.

I get stuff like this often enough at work, but
that last one? There is one customer we have
that does that so frequently and for so long
(personal record with me is goddamn FORTY
MINUTES of trying to get the answer she
wanted) that we call her Circle Lady when she
isn't present.
Then there are the ones who do this, fail, and
try it again with the same employees the next
day

Me: "For the drink, it's [x amount])
Customer: "I saw a sign that I get a free drink?"
Me: "For signing up for our rewards program,
yes:"
Customer: "Oh... I don't have one of those
Me: "Well if you sign up, you can get the free
drink! :)
Customer: "Eh don't want to sign up"
Me: " "
Customer: "I hate getting all those emails"
Me: "Oh, well you can opt out of emails, I can
show you how:)
Customer: "No thanks, I don't want an
account"
Me: "Okay... well the drink will be [x amount]:
Customer: "I thought it was free?"
Me: ")"
Me: "It's free if you sign up for our rewards
program:)"
Customer: "I don't want to sign up"
Me: "Then the drink isn't free :)"
Customer: "You can't just give me the drink?"
Me: "No, I can't unfortunately:)
Customer: "Why not? It's only [x amount]
Me: "if that's not a lot of money to you, why
don't you just pay for it? :
Customer: "This is shit customer service"
Me: ")"
Customer: "This is highway robbery, squeezing
every dime out of people, you should be
ashamed of yourself-"
Me: "I don't control the prices, I'm just a
cashier:)
Customer: "-making a fucking fuss over a
damn drink and it's not even a large-
Me: "That's not my decision, I'm just a
cashier:)
Customer:"-and you bet I won't be coming
back here again
Me: "How unfortunate :)"

White people's fixation on
inconsequential social norms is a way to
structurally keep out non-white people
who lack the cultural capital and
privilege to know every one of these
inane social rules we're supposed to
perform to be granted the jobs and
resources we fucking deserve.

As people who lack white or class
privilege know, not possessing this
cultural capital causes intense anxiety
and alienation. Networking events, office
small talk, interviews are often dreadful
experiences bc we're being judged
according to rules that were set up for us
to fail.

Everyone who has experienced the dread
& anxiety of being in a room full of
privileged white people and literally not
knowing what they're talking about and
second guessing everything you do,
knows that these "proper politeness"
rules are just a way to alienate &
marginalize us.

These social norms of the dominant
group create intense emotional strain for
marginalized peoples. They cause
immense mental labor for us to learn and
mimic these behaviors, fear that
resources will be withheld, and anxiety
when we can't contort ourselves to fit
their demands.

THISTHISTHIS, and linguistic prescriptivism also falls into this category. Completely pointless, historically arbitrary way to keep TALENT + MERIT as secondary qualifiers. “First impressions matter” my ass. Get Gen Xs out of hiring positions
Someone didn’t send a thank you email.
I always love it when some idiot takes a single person’s actions and uses them to generalize about “white people” or “men” or whoever.
white people’s fixations on inconsequential social norms
Who wants to tell this guy about, say, Japanese tea ceremonies? In fact, this statement is not only racist against white people, it’s racist against non-whites too.
the jobs we [CENSORED] deserve
Isn’t that for the hiring manager to determine, not you? If you’re throwing this pseudoinellectual, racist, self-entitled tantrum over a single hiring manager requiring a minor courtesy, why would anyone want to hire you? Do you think most white applicants are automatically going know they should send a thank you letter?
“First impressions matter” my ass.
You…you do realize that concept isn’t remotely limited to Gen Xers, right?
How fucking low does the bar have to be that asking for a thank you is too fucking much?
Pathetic doesn’t even begin to cover it.
I thought it was common sense to say thank you for getting hired but it turns out I’ve been a superior, high class white male all along. I learn so much on Tumblr everyday.
“nonwhites are idiotic caveman with zero basic social skills” sounds kind of racist to me.](https://pics.onsizzle.com/jessica-liebman-ajessicaliebman-follow-hey-i-wrote-something-ive-been-54400455.png)
