Define Retail Meaning

Retail
One of the shittiest professions...One that causes much depression, psychosis, anger, jealousy, frustration, and anxiety. It is extremely degrading. They never pay people what they are worth; the workers have to deal with a bunch of crap while getting paid peanuts.

I had to go to therapy after working in retail for a decade.

People treat me like I'm stupid because I work in retail.

I work at a retail job where people don't get raises, but instead there's a shitty "Employee of the Month" reward.

I work in retail; therefore, I cannot afford to pay back my student loans or take nice vacations.

Retail
A reminder as to the benefits of a corporate job. Sure, you may have a stiff neck from eye strain, but its beats anything vs. a job where you're treated as sub-human, have to meet sales deadlines, and will make piss poor change from commission. Also every month of December is treated as hell due to Christmas.

Person 1: "I fucking hate my corporate job; doing the same shit every day."

Person 2: "Highly doubt its worse than retail. Because its horrible being a depressed sales person."

A revisit to the same babe you got a piece of tail from before.

He was so horny he decided to go retail the fine babe he saw last week.

Retail
The profession of most homosexual males. This implies that the individual's income and sophistication is limited. Working class gay.

I don't want to go out with him. He's retail. Everyone at this club is retail.

"Retail!"

ReTail
Young women who work at department stores.

At first, I had considered fast food, but then I saw the ReTail girl at the clothing store. I chose to get some ReTail.

Retail Smile
the completely fake, often overdone smile plastered on the faces of retail employees everywhere; usually insincere, as customers really give retail employees nothing to smile about; related closely to people voice

Did you see that guy working at Hollister? He had a total retail smile on his face!

Retail Voice
The tone and enthusiasm in someone's voice in an attempt to be friendly while working retail. It tends to disappear if the person knows the customer.

The lady at McDonald's this morning had an annoyingly chipper retail voice. I bet everyone who was as hungover as I was wanted to punch her in the face.

Retail Therapy
The act of shopping as an outlet for frustration and a reliever of stress.

Juju's Retail Therapy session went quite well; she visited the local Sephora for her fix of new eyeshadows, as well as the jewelry cart for a pair of new obnoxious but cute earrings. Nothing beats spending money to forget about your troubles.
