    19 Things Every Retail Worker Has Secretly Done In The Stockroom

    We've all tried to see if we can fit in a cardboard box.

    1. Gone in there to look for something for a customer so you get a little break.

    2. Spent absolutely ages stacking the shelves so they look absolutely perfect.

    3. And then got personally offended when the stockroom is messy.

    4. Sung Disney songs really loudly when you're in there by yourself.

    5. Made up an elaborate stockroom game with your colleagues.

    6. If you work in a clothing store, tried things on when your manager wasn't looking.

    7. And hidden in the rails of clothing.

    Feels so safe.

    8. Accidentally stabbed yourself with one of these.

    You haven’t known pain 'til you’ve stabbed yourself in the hand with one of these bastards.

    9. And snapped a hanger because you don't know your own strength.

    10. Made the mistake of dropping a box of these fuckers on the floor.

    11. Spent absolutely ages looking for something for a customer.

    12. And then come back onto the shop floor only to realise they have got bored and left.

    13. Wrangled with huge mannequins.

    14. Secretly looked at your phone.

    15. Climbed up the shelves for a dare, even though you definitely weren't supposed to.

    16. Although you slightly lived in fear of knocking a shelf over.

    Only to have tonnes of boxes rain down on you.

    17. Got slightly excited when a new product came in and you were the first one to see it.

    18. Picked stuff out that you wanted to buy with your staff discount.

    19. And of course, tried to see if you could fit in a cardboard box.
