A Day in the Life Challenge: "Welcome to Retail" -- by Marlene Simonette

Welcome to Retail 
By Marlene Simonette

(Set to the tune of 'Welcome to the Jungle')

Welcome to retail, we’ve got all departments
We got everything people need honey, we know all the brands
We are the people that supply other’s every need
You ain’t got the money, that’s why you’re here
Retail, welcome to retail
Watch it bring you to your knees, knees
Uh, you’re gonna bleed

Welcome to retail, we take it day by day
If they want it, we gotta supply it, whether or not they pay
They’re picky customers, very hard to please
They can taste the salads, and they expect ‘em for free
In retail, welcome to retail
Feel the heat, the ache of overtime

Uh, you’re gonna scream
Welcome to retail, it gets worse here every day
You learn to work with half a crew who don’t wanna play
If you got hunger, and you’re the only one in your department, you’ll have to ask; the boss says “eventually”
The customers can have everything they want, and you can’t leave

In retail, welcome to retail
Watch it bring you to your knees, knees
Uh ah, they’re gonna watch you bleed
And when you’re tired and beat down,
So down, so down, so down, yeah
You know where you are?
You’re in retail baby
You’re gonna die
In retail, welcome to retail
Watch it bring you to your knees
