Why I Hate Everything

Reflections on a Decade in Retail

By: Margaret Weber

Narrated by: Margaret Weber

Has anyone ever tried to throw a cash register at you? Have so many irritating and inane questions caused you to develop a poker face so strong that a sledge hammer wouldn’t break it? Have you seen every dark impulse man possesses? Do you know every demon by name? Yes? Then you’ve probably worked retail, and this book is for you.

No? Then you’ve probably never worked retail, and this book is for you.

These are the true stories of my ten years working retail. Often ugly, sometimes touching, always funny because it didn’t happen to you.

Not just a retail rant or hatefest but an honest expression of working retail in the USA

Truly a joy to listen to, the author has a wonderful lilt as she regales us of her experiences, good and bad, cringe worthy and character building. this book with particularly resonate with those of us who have participated in the customer service industry.

A must read if you've ever worked retail!

Possibly (definitely) the most (100%) relatable book I've ever listened to, told in an intelligent, interesting, funny, caring way. You really understand (because you have lived) the love/hate relationship we've all had with retail. Thank you!

Great Story About Real Life

Love the author and her narration! I bought the audible book after discovering Maggie on YouTube. She is intelligent and hilarious, and definitely my favorite person to follow now.

Hilarious

I discovered Margaret Weber when she showed up on my Youtube feed. After laughing my hat (!) off, I started following her like a stalker. Her ten years of retail has honed her ability to sum up some true fashion disasters, focused nearly exclusively on obscenely overpriced designer monstrosities. Her delivery of these observations are, in them selves, comedic gold. Her "discovery" of penis shaped items, crude double entendre and blatantly unconsidered dual meanings will make you think "This woman has a dirty mind!". And, yes, you would be right.

Every retail worker can relate!

Anyone who has worked a retail job, especially in management, can relate. I laughed so hard at the similar experiences that my wife and I have both endured in our current and past jobs. I had to share the rolled change story with my wife, bc one of her employees did the same thing! I loved the book, the performance was good, and the sense of camaraderie is notable. I would absolutely recommend this to others.
