This is the face of retail after several weeks of back to school. This is the face of explaining to your twentieth customer in a day that their teacher has committed a typo on their material list and the item on the list does not exist. This is the face of having a customer tell you they must have exactly everything on this list for their class. No substitutions, but they don't feel like spending that much money so what else can you give them. This is the face of the customer who runs up to ans say they need these items in a hurry because they're in hurry and then they wander off and starts texting someone without even telling you what they need! This is the face of the customer who has gotten the total for all their school art supplies and says to you "Dude! but I'll have no money to buy drugs then!" This is the face of fatigue.

This is the face of someone dealing with any of these (Not Always Right):

It's universal, more's the pity.

I never heard the word RETAIL first, but from this i think to understand what means ._.
This is the face of having a teacher telling you that you're not subscribed to his course and you're into another completely different one even if your subscription data (which you have in the same moment at hand) says clearly he's saying something impossible.
The face of having a teacher saying "i never did this course before" when anyone else who sent you to the exam sayd HE DID, and this is the face of having the teacher saying you'll do another exam with other people, but which is not your own.
At same is not the face of when you have to start an exam at 10:00 AM and you wait until 1:00 PM to do it.

I quit as a manager at Office Depot one year ago day before yesterday... then you come out with this excellent piece as of yesterday (the day after my one year anniversary of freedom from that hell). THEN... I did something VERY comical... I went to work FOR a school (Johns Hopkins IT dept but... yeah, still a school, lmao).
Yes, I remember my days as a manager at Office Depot. And while I wore my tail on my uniform the last day, after putting in my two weeks notice... I didn't get fired for that. I got fired because I was standing in front of a "hidden" camera in the cashroom, that staff wasn't supposed to know existed... and the next day, something was missing from that office. (it leads me to believe they wanted to fire me because they were were angry that I quit and, that my last day was spent on the floor with a tail. They were pretty angry about that. Then again, I was a manager so... why not, right?)
Needless to say... I had that very face when my district manager came in and said, "You're fired" on my last day. (Maybe it's so I wouldn't collect unemployment? I quit anyway, so it's not like I was going to try... maybe it was so I couldn't come back? I dunno.)
Oh, and in case you're curious... I had two different stories to the customers who asked... if they were aggressive and nasty sounding about their inquiry of my tail, I told'em I lost a bet and to take a hike. For the people who were curious and scratching their head... I told'em I quit and wanted to do it in style... with a lil' tail. ...OH and I made that very illustrated face one other time earlier in that shift... One lady asked me if it was real and if it hurt, or if it hurts when I sit on it or pull it, etc. I mean, she was completely convinced the thing was real and had all sorts of questions. Now... tell me that wouldn't have warranted one of those faces, like the one you illustrated. ...Yeah.
OH! and when I DID get fired half-way through the day... I told'em to "Kiss my tail." I had to. The ball was there, I just swung the bat on that one. :D

My beloved had a customer come in with a list of things her child needed to take to school that week, on the list was "Trail Mix"
"no problem we have several variety's here let me show you..."
"...but it can't have nuts or seeds in it"....
(insert face pic here)
"Do you have any of that?"
[for those few who may Not know, thats what is IN trailmix its pretty much ALL nuts and seeds with a smattering of dried fruit and chocolate]
so we can relate great pic i'm tempted to print it out so she can post it on the bulletin bored in the employee break room with your description attached. it would be widely appreciated.

OOh Ooh, I know that look, I know that look! I just got home from work with that same look!
A few years ago (while working at Office Depot) I had this customer in who had a school "Need to get" list and it listed as a priority item (for a local third grade) that the student/little hellion needed to have a minimum of Microsoft Office Professional Edition!! the teacher kindly listed the price of $39.95 which in the real world translates to (non teachers discount price) $499.99. The parrent went from happy cheery, to irate and steaming in a matter of momments, then moving on to another sales associate to confirm the price again, then moving on to the assistant manager, and finally walking out the door with a very similar looking appearance upon their face. Anger, and frustrutaion was litterally radaiting from their face by the time they left. We did our very best to serve the customer, but alas the teacher's list was just a tad overpriced for most anyone's limited school budget.
As a continual retail slave, I know this look very well, Why you may ask. I work for Wal-Mart where the corprate motto seems to be "If It makes sense, you're doing it wrong!"
