Working at a mall store is a common job that I'm sure plenty of us either had at some point in our lives or currently have.

With that, I'm sure plenty goes on behind the scenes while working at these stores. So, since I'm a nosy Nancy, I'm turning to the BuzzFeed Community to ask, what secrets and stories do you have as an employee of a popular mall store that you can share with me?

Maybe there was a sneaky way of how pricing and sales worked at the store where you worked that customers would never guess was happening.

Or maybe you had to do some outrageous things as an employee that no one would ever know or understand unless they, too, worked there.

  • Russia eyes 55 bcm of gas exports to Iran per year, Putin says

    MOSCOW (Reuters) -Russia may supply up to 55 billion cubic metres (bcm) of gas per year to Iran, Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Friday, as Moscow diversifies its gas flows after a dramatic fall in exports to Europe. Since its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, Russia has lost its dominance of the European gas market, once a key source of revenue for Kremlin-controlled Gazprom. Putin, speaking at a joint press conference with his Iranian counterpart Masoud Pezeshkian, said Russia's gas supplies to Iran could eventually reach 55 bcm per year, but it would need to start with small volumes of up to 2 bcm.

  • Dutch government excludes most ASML sales to China from 'dual use' export data

    The Dutch government excludes billions of euros of sales by technology company ASML to China from disclosures on sensitive goods exports, it has told Reuters, following a policy decision that has not been previously reported. The move is of interest because disclosure of exports of "dual use" goods with potential military applications had previously been routine in the Netherlands, and experts who rely on public data to understand states' military capabilities, including parliament, may no longer have the full picture. Computer chip equipment maker ASML itself releases sales data for China - around $7 billion worth in the first nine months of 2024 - but it does not specify the type of machinery it sells by region.
