at work i was doing a phone interview and the person had only worked at a horse stable before so i asked her what she learned working there that she could apply to working in retail, and she said, “nothing. that was horses, retail is for people” and i had to mute the call because i couldn’t help but laugh hysterically
You laugh but the BULLSHIT I have heard from some boarders would more than prep anybody for a life in retail
I survived customer service BECAUSE I started with horses. Nothing gives you patience like asking a 1000 pound petulant child who could kill you to do tasks that scare the day light out of them. Aka: walk past a shadow.
i want to be clear to both of you: i was not laughing because of her experience working at a stable, i was laughing because the phrase “that was horses, retail is for people” is, objectively, the funniest phrase i’ve ever heard
