Programmed Retail Response

The conditioning of most retail shoppers to provide preconceived answers to customer service providers.

Here are a few instances using Programmed Retail Response:

(Upon a customer entering)
Associate: "How's the weather today?"
Shopper: "I'm fine. How are you?"

(Upon a customer leaving)
Associate: "Fuel for Satan's fire!"
Shopper: "Thanks. You too!"

retail manager

A person that takes credit for a job well done without having any involvement. Can also be used to describe a person with his head firmly inserted in his own anus.

By this definition, Rick is the best retail manager in the world.

retail voice

The tone and enthusiasm in someone's voice in an attempt to be friendly while working retail. It tends to disappear if the person knows the customer.

The lady at McDonald's this morning had an annoyingly chipper retail voice. I bet everyone who was as hungover as I was wanted to punch her in the face.

retail drag

The force exterted on a human body by retail outlets. Typically experienced when out walking with your partner and they trail 10 metres behind you looking in shoe/clothing/accessory/tool/electrical shops. The force is sex-specific, females being almost exclusively affected by the first three, males by the latter two. Retail drag is similar to other drag forces in that the drag force increases the faster you try to move the affected body.

- "We are going to have to walk faster or we'll miss our train"
- "Yeah, the girls have got bad retail drag"

retail bulimia

A condition in which a person shops incessantly, making extravagent purchases for the pure joy of the acquisition experience, but then returns everything the next day.

"I don't know what came over me - when I was in Nieman Marcus, I just had to have that $400 Versace bag, but once I got it home, I felt so guilty, and it seemed so ugly that I returned it. After that, I felt great - cleaner somehow. I'm afraid I might have retail bulimia."
