I've suspected that, myself, or that he reads it. Some of his comics are eerily close to things in active discussions here, at times. The main counter to that is that Retail is a newspaper comic...which means they're produced 4~8 weeks ahead of time. Which makes him a time traveler. O_O

Yup. No matter where on Earth you go, you'll find the same types of assholes. It's one of the few constants in life.
Plus, the author of Retail, Norm Feuti, worked in retail for many years himself, so he's since it all first-hand. That's why it's so accurate and familiar to retail folks.
