05.26.14 | Frankly, I'd rather sell myself on the most unprofitable block then work a fuckign cash register and say hello. |

05.26.14 | yeah this is why i got a job delivering pizza. hot girls in their prime to bang, get to listen to music all day, and management doesn't give a shit about anything. How much are you making? 12$ or so an hour with tips is cool for me in between graduate and undergrad.... would never take a job like you have tbh unless it payed double |
RoyalImperialGuard
05.26.14 | For real, this is the first shitty job I ever took and I regret it. Place next door to me has a pizza delivering job, might look into it, or something else. Cant wait to go back to farming in September and my restaurant gig in November. |
LambsBread
05.26.14 | yeah don't get stuck doing something you hate, trust me I have done it. I used to have a shitty job going door to door, and I would just tell myself to suck it up, but now I realize there is no point in doing annoying work for no added benefit (seems obvious, but its so easy to get stuck in the same shitty job because you use all the energy you need to find another job on the shitty job on a daily basis). |

05.26.14 | My advice: Get out before your soul disappears entirely. |

05.26.14 | Incoming cliché: suicide is never the answer.
You hate doing retail. The fact you still can hate means you're not ready to die. |

and go to school |

05.26.14 | Don't be a baby retail is actually pretty nice. When you work in a factory where you have to do the exact same thing 2000 times an hour then you can complain |

05.26.14 | wow i actually agree with lambsbread |

05.26.14 | @titan factories usually pay more than shitty retail positions do |
Funeralopolis
05.26.14 | I've been working retail for almost seven years it ain't that bad, although I'd never want to be a cashier. I'd pick retail over a factory or kitchen probably. |
titanslayer
05.26.14 | I worked in retail twice and now I work at a factory. All I'm saying is it's not really that bad.
Also the really low pay means that there's no reason for him to stay while I have to stay at my job or I'm screwed.
He should be glad he's just a cashier, that's probably one of the better jobs you could get in retail. |

05.27.14 | I work retail at a small business. my coworkers are cool and it pays $12.73/hr. Maybe you're just at a shitty place |
Funeralopolis
05.27.14 | "He should be glad he's just a cashier, that's probably one of the better jobs you could get in retail."
I dunno having to smile and talk to customers all day sounds pretty shitty. I run the frozen department in my grocery store and I get to do orders, organize and plan so it actually feels like I am accomplishing something there is no sense of accomplishment on cash and that's what I think would be the worst for me. |
RoyalImperialGuard
05.27.14 | If there were any redeeming qualities about this place I'd stay put, fact is there is nothing great about it, nothing of interest, the work sucks plus the pay is awful. My mistake. I should just stay put in the restaurant industry where I belong. |
Relinquished
05.27.14 | ever thought about being a personal trainer? |
RoyalImperialGuard
05.27.14 | Yeah. I have the book but I procrastinate. Might end up doing it at some point but the food industry and the farm is where I belong. |
Relinquished
05.27.14 | whatever you do dude be the best at it so you'll climb higher
and be cool and sexy while doing it |

05.27.14 | My job situations gonna be cool from September to next may so just gotta kill some time right now. |
ILJ
05.27.14 | i sit at a computer for 7 and a half hours 5 days a week (sometimes 6 if I decide to do OT) and enter tax information into a system, and i get to listen to music while doing it. pretty sweet ass gig if you ask me, especially for the pay ($10 an hour). i will also be starting an internship this week in addition to that. |

05.27.14 | Sounds pretty chill. |

05.27.14 | My girl works at Vitamin Shoppe and has to deal with a lot of idiots.
She also just became a personal trainer, which is cool and all but getting clients is kinda tough. |

05.27.14 | I thought retail would be a cool job
guess not |
Liiiam
05.27.14 | There's no point doing good work you hate, I used to work for an agency who send you places to do the jobs the people that actually work there don't want, worst I've ever done was working on the beer stand at a football match, locked in a tiny cubicle on your own and you have to pour all the bottles into plastic cups whilst angry football fans shout abuse, quit the next day and eventually managed to get an engineering internship which is pretty interesting |

05.27.14 | worst gig I ever had was commission-based sales of audio book subscriptions for a telecommunications company. that was pure soul defecation. |

I somehow want to caress your hair after you typed that. Don't ask me why though. |
betray
05.27.14 | I worked retail full time for 2 years as a morning time freight buster and afternoon CSR.
I wanted to bash my head repeatedly into the nearest wall several times every day. And fuck me, around the Holidays is the worst.
I now sit at a desk from 8-5 Monday-Friday entering information into a computer. I can listen to music, go on sputnik (once I'm up to date ofc) and take a smoke break every now and then as well. All for better pay too.
While I do like the comfort my job has, the days went by much faster when I was overloaded with tasks at the store and was up walking around.
tl/dr:
every job sucks deal with it |

that actually sounds horrible hahaha |
RoyalImperialGuard
05.27.14 | I feel I could do vitamin shoppe or GNC cuz I love working out and supplements so I'm actually motivated and its something I actually care about.
Whatever though, if I cant find a job till September then Ill just not drive my car or my cellphone. Not gonna worry about it but I will keep keep lookin. In the meantime Ill play ultimate frisbee rather than show up. |
Apollo
05.27.14 | I have two jobs right now, one is retail. I get paid $18.00 an hour to serve people booze for the gov't. It's amusing because I get to turn away drunks and homeless people. My other job in customer service makes me want to kill myself on a daily basis. The only bonus is my boss is around once a week so I get to work from home a lot and do my own thing.
I would rather die than go work in a factory again or minimum wage retail/wait staff....sorry Balls best of luck getting outta that hellhole. |

worthlessscab
06.26.15 | most jobs suck when you think about them. that's why you get paid, that's your incentive for doing them. just don't think, put on the autopilot and go through it, selling time of your life so that you can do something with the rest of it, maybe |

06.26.15 | I've worked in retail for 4 years now. Sometimes it ain't bad, but sometimes it's stressful as fuck. Dealing with customers is hands down the worst part about it, not including the awful pay lol. |
Hawks
06.26.15 | I've flipped out on customers and almost got fired on more than one occasion. The people at my job love me though so they never gave me the boot. |
