Retail Workers Aren’t Replaceable — They’re Exhausted

Retail doesn’t have a staffing problem.

It has a respect problem.

People aren’t leaving because they hate retail — they’re leaving because they’re tired of being treated like they don’t matter.

They hold the store together when half the roster calls in sick.

They deal with abuse that would never fly in an office.

They get told to “smile more” while doing three jobs for one wage.

And somehow, they still show up.

So before blaming “the new generation” or “poor work ethic,” maybe ask:

Are we building workplaces people actually want to stay in?

💬 What’s one thing your workplace could do that would make you want to stay longer?
