Well, once a regular customer that I joked with asked me how I was doing. It was very busy and overwhelming and I said “it’s crazy… but I haven’t killed myself yet”

The man’s son killed himself about 2 years prior. I remember when it happened. I don’t know why that came out of my mouth.

I also had two old ladies at my register and I was locating their med bag from the bottom rack, so I was kneeled down. she said “the world would be a much better place if more people were on their knees” I said “…oh! Yeah, well I would probably make a lot more money that way” and she said “…TO PRAY!”

Anyway.

Does this mean anything to you? No. But at least you’re not a dumbass like me. It is too bad so sad for him. I hate people who keep saying the same thing and expecting the answer to change. Sure, you’re supposed to be able to withstand all kinds of shit in retail. Abuse, humiliation:.. but you did a very minor thing that you apologized for. You’re good ppl. It’ll be ok. We live we learn and sometimes all the knowledge in the world doesn’t prevent things like this from happening.
