'''''[http://www.retailcomic.com/ Retail]''''' is a comic strip created by Norm Feuti, that ran from January 1, 2006 to February 23, 2020. Set in a fictional store called Grumbel's, it's was a [[Satire]] of the world of minimum-wage department store jobs.
 
The strip centerscentered around an assistant manager named Marla Masters. While she's a good boss, she can't stand the bureaucratic nonsense set by the corporate offices, the intolerant and abusive customers, the ditzy and spacious employees, and the stigmas associated with retail workers. [[Sarcasm Mode|Other than that, she likes her job.]]
 
Marla iswas most often seen working alongside Cooper, a stock boy with a sarcastic wit, geeky tastes and a dim outlook about his job; Val, an aspiring writer and encouraging friend of Marla's who wants her to move onto bigger and better things; and Stuart, the store manager who sucks up to his superiors, follows every rule to the letter, and is a generally [[Stupid Boss|ineffectual]] [[Pointy-Haired Boss|boss]].
 
Feuti has written a book based around ''Retail'', called ''Pretending You Care: The Retail Employee Handbook''.
