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.

It will also put your job into perspective, namely how much worse it could be.
