tell me you've never worked retail without telling me you've never...

...I need to say something snarky and while I'm not 100% sure people are in the wrong, it's also driving me bonkers.

Someone complained that they drove hours to get to the Ohio AG store only to find it closed for inventory. I'd understand if they were just mad that no one told them beforehand, and even a little vexed that AG customer service via phone didn't realize it but when pretty much every other AG store aside from probably the flagships was also closed for inventory, I'm not really sure shrieking, "OMG, they're closing soon, they're closing forever!" is entirely called for. There are so few AG stores that it absolutely makes sense that the smaller ones at least would do their inventory all on the same day. But sure, let's pretend they're all dying ASAP.

I mean, let's be real, they are going to close most of them anyway but maybe this is just actual factual inventory for now...

People post dumb shit on social media and suddenly it goes viral. They don't know what they're talking about but does anybody bother to fact check it? No, they'd rather have outrage clickbait. Ugh!
