    A Retail Worker Earns Every Dime
    (credit: The Username Saga)

    Come all you wearers of vests, smocks and shoes
    You Walmart Greeters and you night Crews
    help me tell a story of toil and of strife
    And the hardship that comes with a retail worker’s life

    Well, it's up in the morning to open the shop
    And the customers come and don’t ever stop
    But you gotta get rolling 'cause it's really soon
    That Black Friday sales will spell your doom

    And it's hard, buddy, it's hard
    Living off chocolate bars and overtime
    Well it's hard, bucko, it's hard
    A retail worker earns every dime

    Your wrists are sore from your homework last night
    But you've gotta ignore it, theses customers bite
    when you don’t have every bargain and item they sting
    Wherever there's sales, a cash register will ring

    Well you're out on the floor and the backroom’s a mess
    no matter what it won’t be clean much to your distress
    Well the managers won’t give you time and they expect miracles
    The customers have no patience and may punch you in the ********

    And it's hard, fella, it's hard
    Living off ramen and overtime
    Well it's hard, amigo, it's hard
    A retail worker earns every dime

    Well, it's off to the breakroom but you're having bad luck
    it’s on the other side of the floor
    The customer yells, "I’m stuck!"
    You explain it’s been five hours since your last break
    But they don’t care about your sore feet all they do is take

    And it's hard, hoo boy, it's hard
    Living off kraft dinner and overtime
    Well it's hard, dude, it's hard
    A retail worker earns every dime

    You're working in a department fastly depleting
    On a floor hard as cement and all day you haven’t eaten
    your coworker is running late so you gotta keep smiling
    Your manager says, "I called him, but it just keeps ringing"'

    Your blood starts to boil and your skin starts to crawl
    The customers are everywhere and you might kill them all
    It's like a bad dream or a weird deja vu
    Where everybody has lost all sanity but you

    And it's hard, Muffy, it's hard
    Living off bread crumbs and overtime
    Well it's hard, Woody, it's hard
    A retail worker earns every dime
    Interviewer: What is your greatest weakness?
    Me: I expect competence from my coworkers.
