Help Fix What Isn’t Working.
Backroom Reality is a place for retail associates to anonymously share what really happens behind the scenes — overcrowded stockrooms, unsafe workflows, and packaging that creates more work than it should.

How it Works
-
Snap a quick photo and write a short description of what’s happening in your backroom: packaging that’s falling apart, unsafe piles, overloaded carts, workflow bottlenecks, anything that makes your job harder.
No need to overthink it. Real moments > perfect photos.
-
Your safety and privacy come first. We remove all identifying information. No employers or individuals are ever named. Your employer will never be contacted, tagged, or referenced.
-
Your submission helps shape Returnity’s research, pilots, and next-generation reusable packaging systems that reduce friction and workload.
This is how real change happens—from the ground up.

-
Every submission receives a coffee on us as a small thank-you for taking the time to share your experience. Once a month, we pick one standout submission that clearly captures a challenge retail workers face.
The selected contributor receives the Backroom Survival Kit, packed with practical, morale-boosting items curated with input from store associates. (And yes — you still remain 100% anonymous.)
