retail fag

A gay guy who works in retail, usually a clothing store, who thinks he's the world's best employee, takes his job very seriously, and typically wears all of the clothing he is hired to fold and display. Often seen wearing a headset, acting overly friendly with customers yet very snotty with other staff, and extremely, extremely queeny. Is everything that is wrong with both gay men and capitalism.
"That retail fag just gave me attitude when I needed to retun a sweater. Why does he care?"

Retail Stalking

When employees of a retail establishment constantly ask you every thirty seconds if you need help, when it is clear you don't.
Employee: HI! DO YOU NEED HELP FINDING ANYTHING TODAY?!
Customer: No, I'm okay, thanks.
Employee: OKAY, WELL LET ME KNOW IF YOU NEED ANY HELP, ALRIGHT?
Customer: Thanks.
Employee #2: HI! DO YOU NEED HELP FINDING ANYTHING TODAY? HAVE I TOLD YOU ABOUT OUR 30% OFF SALE?!?!
Customer: On second thought, no, I suddenly lost any urge to buy anything.

... is a textbook example of Retail Stalking.

retail investor

An investor who trades shares on an exchange through a third party, typically a brokerage firm with direct access to the market(s) ECN networks. This term is often used in a derogatory sense to describe various middle-of-the-road people who attempt to amass great wealth with little to no research beforehand, often resulting in the complete loss of their "invested" money.

Being a retail investor is not a sign of incompetence, however; there are many who are quite able and consistently beat indices and funds with their returns.
Noob trader: "Hey! This stock just fell 50%; there's gotta be a short squeeze soon! I'm buying!"

Experienced trader: "Don't be a retail investor, man!"

Experienced retail investor: "Bag holder would be a better phrase for that, buddy!"
