From one retail worker to another. My most recent one was a lady who had the arrogance to comment on my weight who then yelled "fatso" at me when I ignored her and walked away.

As a teen, I worked in a supermarket for years. People would always ask if the out of stock item was in the back. Guy, it's not in the back. I'm aware that this is a meme now.

To this day, I can find items in a supermarket super fast, as I just understand how everything is laid out. I'm usually in and out of the store in 5 minutes.

I'll offer to check the back when I want a little micro break lol. I don't actually look for anything, just take the chance to grab a drink of water (no water bottles allowed at the tills per company policy) and check my phone in a camera blindspot before going back to them and saying "no sorry it looks like we're all out"

This is how to do it. A nice water, bathroom, and phone break
