Working retail is stressful- from the customers, to just the job in general. But it’s worth it… at least for the money.
1. The Customers
Most customers are fine and you get along with them, but there are a few, that if something doesn’t go their way, the get an attitude and just not pleasing to ring up.
2. Time Dragging On
Time seems to go so much slower. You look at the clock and it’s 1:00, you look back to what you think had been an hour and it’s only 1:05.
3. The store Being a Mess After Cleaning Up
You spend all this time cleaning up and aisle. You return 5 minutes later and there’s stuff in the wrong places, as well as on the floor. So much for cleaning up.
4. Being Understaffed
You’re the only cashier and there’s a long line of impatient customers waiting to be checked out. Oh how you wish you could run away at that moment.
5. Working Holidays
The last thing you want to do on a holidays is ringing up customers getting all these items that they should’ve gotten weeks or even months before.
6.Short Breaks
The amount of time you for a break is wayyy too short.
7. People Coming In 5 Minutes Before Closing
Why didn’t you think about coming in earlier, not before we’re about to close!
8. Your Feet Hurting
Since you’re on your feet for hours at a time, your feet are killing you by the time you get home and off of them.
9. When You’re Asked if You Work Here While Wearing Your Uniform
No, I’m wearing this ugly shirt for the hell of it…yes I work here.
