People always gloss over how mentally damaging it can be to work in retail. I fucking hate that whenever I say “I could never work in retail again” someone has to reply “You snowflake millennials can’t take a starter job because you have to INTERACT with other people” No. Fuck you. I’ve worked as a planetarium host. I’ve worked as a public speaker. I’ve worked as a tutor and as a student teacher. I can work with people. I can work with crowds. Retail was fucking different. Retail was being treated as a subhuman. Retail was being treated so poorly that you have anxiety attacks before work. Having to work retail was a factor in my last suicide attempt. If I hear you say one fucking word about retail workers playing the victim I will personally break every bone in your body. Fuck You.

The holidays are coming up. Retail workers are going to be spiraling into a nightmare beyond human comprehension. If you’ve worked retail, you know this. If you haven’t, be aware of it. Please be kind to every retail worker you come across. Please be patient and understanding. It is misery out there.

This is at my college and it got taken down and closed off hours after this tweet was originally posted thanks everyone

SUNY Purchase is the college this was put up at. Currently our campus does not care about any issues unless it gets media attention. 

The ADA is currently suing our campus because of multiple ADA violations and incompetence towards disabled students, mentally/physically or mentally ill.

One of our apartments was supposed to be a temporary building, but is still being used to house students despite one of the ceilings caving in in one of the apartments and displacing its occupants.

We have a major mold and lead problem that is still going unfixed.

We have a University Police force that has been ruled to be incompetent in protecting the student body.

Work orders on campus are ultimately useless and nothing on campus ever gets fixed unless it gets media attention (our ADA violation and the shrine).

We have so many many many more issues that goes unsolved because our college refuses to fix any of them unless they get media attention. As much as the now defunct shrine is funny, the fact the student body is neglected so badly by the college shouldn’t go ignored.
