As a former (thank god) retail worker I have loved this show since I saw a quick 20 second clip on facebook. I instantly sought out the show, watched it to completion, and waited intently for season 2 to come out.
The characters are well crafted and have very enticing stories, but this isn't the full draw for us retail workers.No, it's the customers. You may be saying "no way they are as bad as they are in the show". I can guarantee you they can be, and they are. Their portrayal of these ridiculous humans who decide to bring back a toaster because 'it burned my toast' is nothing far from the truth. Anyone who has worked in retail can give you a plethora of stories that will shock you.
And take it from me, I had just as bad a District Manager as they do in this show. It's depiction is horrifyingly accurate.
This is the 'Waiters' of the retail world and if you've worked retail, even if you haven't, you need to watch it. Maybe it'll give you some empathy to us poor retail folk.
