retail manager

This is the person that comes around making sure you are bothered every five minutes and told one more time what you are to do (in case you have a case of chronic amnesia). This is usually to reassure the person that the items and services you are selling and most likely not making commision off of are steadily helping out their bonuses each week / month / year.

Hitler was not a retail manager but many retail managers are little Hitler's.

Retail Therapy

The act of shopping as an outlet for frustration and a reliever of stress.

Juju's Retail Therapy session went quite well; she visited the local Sephora for her fix of new eyeshadows, as well as the jewelry cart for a pair of new obnoxious but cute earrings. Nothing beats spending money to forget about your troubles.

Retail Workout

When a person who works in retail uses their job as an opportunity to workout by speed walking, lifting numerous heavy objects unnecessarily, or often times a combination of both. Sometimes they may go as far as wearing wrist or ankle weights to enhance their regimen. The majority of time they come across as a tweaking suckass by displaying an annoying amount of energy and eagerness to do things that normal people wouldn't want to do in the process making co-workers look bad or lazy.

Bob: Hey man, did you see Steve in electronics? I think he's been snorting coke on his break.

Terry: Na, he's just doing his retail workout.

retail

One of the shittiest professions...One that causes much depression, psychosis, anger, jealousy, frustration, and anxiety. It is extremely degrading. They never pay people what they are worth; the workers have to deal with a bunch of crap while getting paid peanuts.

I had to go to therapy after working in retail for a decade.

People treat me like I'm stupid because I work in retail.

I work at a retail job where people don't get raises, but instead there's a shitty "Employee of the Month" reward.

I work in retail; therefore, I cannot afford to pay back my student loans or take nice vacations.

retail whore

a retail whore is someone that sells overpriced consumer goods to an ungrateful public of consumer-bots while at the same time forcing themselves to keep smiling so that the same asshole customers come back and buy more stuff they don't need so that the hourly employee can barely pay rent while managers get vacations.

After three years at the GAP with only a fifteen cent raise, Gabby realized she was a retail whore.

Retail gay

A typically flamboyant gay man that works in retail. Usually a retail gay will say something like "I work in the fashion industry for Nordstrom" this translates to "I fold clothes and sell designer clothes at Nordstrom for a living."

My friend tried to set me up with the only other gay person she knows, a retail gay that works at the MAC counter.
