How to Survive in Retail
So I am currently in a retail job at a clothing / Home & Garden store. A well known one at that, yay right? Nope.
The job sucks and pay is awful, I am working the long shift at the moment and decided to see if we could get a survival tips thread going on how to pass time and make jobs like this bearable as I am sure I'm not the only one here on b net with a job like this.
Don't let me down share your wisdom.
A tip from me would be: Take regular toilet breaks (such as I am doing now) not too regular that it is suspicious and make sure it is at a time people won't notice you are gone. (Not when it is busy, times like near the end when pretty much all is done)
Edit:
This is not a case of 'Skipping work' the fact is by the last hour or so there is no work to do.

3 RepliesRetail you say ? sounds like you are dodging work leaving it for others to do. I have had a bunch of crappy jobs i disliked but i stayed positive. Since you never worked fast food it can really suck. Some 16 year old kid pushing buttons behind the counter says no to cleaning the toilet/poop off the walls in the Bathroom. Not to mention i gotta wash my hands afterwards really good then make burgers. Clean grill ect. Real work takes thoughtful effort. Apparently you are leaving work for other people to do. I worked for the Army Air Force Exchange Service back when my dad was in the military. We got in weekly shipments. Not to mention my boss find things for me to do as it was a military 7-11 kinda store. Question is how hard are you really willing to work ?. Sometimes you have to take a crappy job make the best of it. I got out of fast food moved onto Security. My other point is the work needs to get done. Being presentable. Knowledgeable will get you places. Ever go into a store looking for help ? That could be you. Sitting in the bathroom proves you are lazy. Key is if you look busy or get things done people notice. Boss could come up ask you to move stuff instead of hiding in the bathroom get it done even crack a few jokes. Make the best of it. Work can really suck unless you have that dream job. Even doing security i have done a few places that i would not do ever again. Being Professional, Helpful, and being a go to person allows you to go places. Carrying over work ethics, knowledge, not to mention an understanding of how to help people will speak volumes. Pro Tip:Never sell you're self short.
