In other news, I just applied for a new job at an assisted living facility, as a "dietary aid" (helping serve meals and that sort of thing). I work as a cashier right now; it pays the absolute lowest wage, the hours are terrible, and the people are monstrously rude, always. And it's a very busy store, too, so I'm always running around with people yelling and complaining and I cannot stand them. It's a God-awful job and I really hope I can get a new one; the only positive is the many Retail Horror Stories I have now. For example:
>>huge woman tumbles in
>>stinks like dead fish
>>checks out at my line, coughing/hacking with what I can only assume is consumption or some sort of plague
>>gets money to pay, coughs into the bills before handing them over
>>OCD kicks in
>>force self to take the money, make change and put it on the counter
>>"WHY DIDN'T YOU PUT THE MONEY INTO MY HAND THIS IS DISCRIMINATION"
>>"I'm trying not to get sick, m'aam, it's flu season and--"
>>demands to see a manager
>>I get yelled at

FUCKING GAMESTOP.
ReplyDeleteI' not sure having those stories is actually a good thing.
ReplyDeleteDid that really happen? Some people have no decency.

ReplyDeleteIt did, and yes, people have no decency. The second they walk into a store they lose all sense of responsibility, as they know someone else will have to clean up after them.
The worst are people with kids; they'll knock over things and rip open candy bags and the parents just walk away. It's infuriating.
I used to work in retail. I hated every single second of it. Hope you find a better job soon.
ReplyDelete:( Bad story, bro. I wouldn't want to touch her hands either. Ick D: Hope you find a new job soon.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds rough :(
ReplyDeleteahh that sounds terrible im not looking forward to getting a job
ReplyDeleteA job at a retail store is almost the only job you can get here. It doesn't seem to be very nice.
