Date: 2024-12-07 12:06 am (UTC)Retail is such a thankless job, and I hate how people look down on it. I know people who are more than pleased working in checkouts (just as I assume you know people who are more than happy to work in bakeries!). Many people find it very rewarding; I was not one of those people, but I know others won't find my corporate job as rewarding as I do.
I make it a point to be very nice to retail workers (at Woolies, bakeries, etc.), especially at this time of year. It's not their fault if prices are high or something scans wrong. The abuse I copped from customers (and even from my manager) really changed me as a person and my approach when it came to moving into the corporate world. Retail may not require a degree, but it is one of the hardest jobs out there imo.
