Retail Hell: How I Sold My Soul to the Store

by Freeman Hall

Overview

"[Freeman is] a retail-centric Perez Hilton."--Publishers Weekly. As the token male sales associate in the handbag department, Freeman Hall knows a thing or two about the ready-to-wear chaos. Lured by the temptation of a high-end store discount, here he unleashes some of his most absurd retail experiences at The Big Fancy--featuring everything from unruly children, shoplifters, and bitchy customers to overly demanding managers, sale insanity, and crazy corporate quotas.

Speaking for every wage slave who has ever handled a bogus return, Freeman throws open the gates of Retail Hell, revealing stories from his twenty years of experience working "on the floor" in this laugh-out-loud memoir that delivers designer-brand retail therapy for salespeople and shoppers alike! The stories are all true--only the names have been changed to protect the damned.
