Retail can be odd.....

Retail is an odd place to work. I've said this for years. Some of the things your employers think as completely normal - are borderline insane. However, I have never worked for a place which has issued guidebooks on street slang.  Just incase someone asks you for a 'dope' dress or tells you the shop is 'off the hook'.....
Apparently Express (nope, no idea either) in America felt that back in the 90s, staff were being exposed to language they might not understand and issued this : A guide to 90s street slang.
