Risa, as someone who worked retail for 30 years, I can honestly say it takes all kinds. I remember my father used to tell me that "you can't make everyone happy, but you can sure piss them all off at once". Let what people say roll off you like water down a duck's back. When you let them upset you you're giving them your power. Don't let anyone take your power away (or change who you are). You're perfect exactly as you are.

Hi Risa. Unfortunately when working with the public, there is always someone trying to steal your joy. I was a Medical Clinician for 40 years and was called the B word. My comeback, with a big smile, I said “Thank you, you know that means I’m Beautiful, Intelligent, Thoughtful, Courageous and Honest.” The expression on that persons face and their loss of words was PRICELESS. So don’t take it to heart, in this life one “gets what they give”. Love your videos and have learned much from you. 🌹

The public can be brutal. I work in retail and wow do I have stories!! The most recent one was probably the most hurtful to me and I’ve been in retail over 20 years and I thought I had a thick skin but this woman thought I was being rude to her just cuz I asked her to choose her type of receipt on the pinpad. She said “ is that how you talk to customers? So I simply said “ I was just asking you to choose your receipt” well she took that as being rude and mind you she was already being rude herself by being on her phone so she then says to the person she’s talking to “ this cashier is being so rude to me , she’s probably in a bad mood because she’s making minimum wage. “ I literally lost it !!!! I said “ ok that was so not necessary!!!! Thankfully my next customer in line heard the entire conversation and said “ wow what was her problem?!?! “ it felt good to hear that because clearly that rude woman apparently is miserable and took it out on me. That incident really shook me but I had some very nice customers saying you handled that very well and we appreciate you ! don’t let her ruin your day!

When I was a server in college, my worst customers were an elderly couple who were late for their movie at the dollar theatre next door. They ordered water with their entrees and stiffed me completely after yelling that the food was late and they were going to miss the opening credits. The server has nothing to do with the speed of the kitchen! Nor are they responsible for the quality of the food. I made less than $20 that night because everyone tipped $1 on their $8.95 two-for-one pasta special with free breadsticks and water. I definitely cried when I got home... and never went back. And my friends hate going out with me because of how much I overtip lol. But they have never been servers!

I truly feel that some people are miserable, & have a need to feel above others. I now just let them say say what they want, & simply don't react. I finish the transaction, & say thanks for shopping at *****, or whatever is appropriate. I've been told "you make my day when I come in here." .. I've been called "precious" & "adorable". I've had customers send great reviews on my customer service. So being called "bitc!, racist, "you old hag" & the likes don't mean a thing to me 😊

And I know I was a good worker, I was a good person. I’ve never been fired, I have glowing references from every employer I had in my life (I am 44 years old now so that’s saying a lot). People are just people. You never know where someone is coming from. I’ve learned it may be nothing to do with me, they are coming after a bad day/week/year or have something going on. Often you are the one they may lash out at yet not knowing you. I used to analyze and feel bad for every interaction that wasn’t perfect. Even 99% was not good enough. But now I learned I can’t do that. It can get to you. You are a great person. That shows through every video you make.

It’s so funny, exactly when you finished your hair at the end I thought: “She always does the best hairstyles “, and then you popped up the writing about your hair not being good 😂 Your hair is always amazing Risa!

Hi. You look beautiful today and I love the final look. Sorry you had to experience being humiliated by a member of the public. I worked in luxury retail for 12 years so I can totally relate. It’s certainly character building. Have a fabulous week. Love from Northern Ireland ❤️

Thanks for the stories, Risa. I was a nurse for 35 years and could tell you some wild stories! So yes, working with the public means every day can be a surprise.

Wow I worked at Jacobsons in Saginaw Michigan in the late 70's as a model who put on the clothes they picked amd then I would walk around with a sign and talk to people about the outfit to shoppers. It was so much fun.
