A humorous, self-help guide to surviving the day to day hassle of working in retail. Written by a retail worker who suffers with anxiety and depression, you'll be drawn in with his style of writing as he turns his diagnosis on its head and pokes fun at what is essentially a debilitating role within the working industry. Each page invites you to explore the many coping mechanisms to get you through those long and dragging shifts, intertwined with comedic short stories, poems, instructions, activities, and strategies you would never have dreamt of associating with customer service. As it says in the introduction, 'Sit back, stop weeping, relax and put up your feet. Unless, of course, your till's just been opened, then you had better hurry...***''I'm in Retail: Get Me Out Of Here!'(FROM THE BACK COVER)***Does your heart beat faster when you hear the word retail, or does it stop entirely? Are your ears screaming because of the sound of distant beeps buried deep within your subconscious? Is your body shaking because the words 'excuse me' are being yelled from afar? If you find yourself answering yes to some or all of these questions, then pick up this retail lifeline. This book is a float to hold onto in the deep sea. A jacket to wear in the freezing cold. A takeaway for when you have burnt the dinner. If that is enough symbolism for you, then know this: You're about to read my guide on how to survive retail, complete with a misleading title. Why is it misleading? Because you're already balls deep in retail by now and there's simply no escape. Cheer up though, it's not all doom and gloom - there's always humour to get you through the shift.
