    Retail workers spending the day doing shenanigans while barely doing any work, I’d kill for time to do some stupid time wasting shit.

    Sorry I can’t join your impromptu wedding for two workers whose name I forgot.

      LOL or for that matter fictional characters doing ANY job. It’s like they just screw around all day having wacky misadventures and somehow the company stays in business.

      Right? I dunno how it was back in the old days but Clerks is maybe the worst representation of modern service workers I’ve ever seen. I’ve got a “hard labor” job and work about 1/4th as hard doing that than I ever did in service when I was younger

        Superstore is the worst representation of retail work, I think they did about a week’s worth of work max during the entire series.

        One of the better ones is a British show called Trolled, they at least show them doing some form of actual retail work, still shenanigans, but they never leave the store to do them besides one or 2 episodes, plus it’s a damn good comedy.
