God damn.
yesterday was fucking hell at work. not to sound like a whining bitch, even though thats what im doing, but yesterday was seriously the most stessful day at work.
i only worked 13.5 hours - from 9am to 10:30pm, but it was still tiring. some people worked from 4am to 11pm! i cant believe nobody killed themselves.
the worst part though, was i had to work again today from 7:45am to 4pm.
Im sure theres a lot of you that got it much worse, so i guess everyone can bitch about it in this thread.
ohh man, im so glad its finally over.

You only worked 13.5 hours? You oughta feel like a real slacker. You aren't giving nearly enough of your precious time to your place of employment.

I work at wal mart, I worked from 10pm-8am on black friday.
I think my jobs kinda fun though, I just threw/caught boxes someone was throwing at me and stacked them on the floor and wrapped them in black. After that I just had to stand there until 5am and guard it.
I was laughing a lot watching the people go after that shit.

hahaha screw them. A lot of my friends have worked there. They started out loving it but by the end they couldn't stand it. Retail in general pisses me off

Yeah my job isnt that bad. i actually dont mind going to work. most of the people i work with are cool and ive met SO many hotties.;)
theres also some pretty hot co-workers there, this new verizon girl especially, i just havent had the time to talk to her. but yeah, its a lot better than my last job working with food.
edit: why are the girls that work in verizon all just straight up fucking beautiful? who handles that? thats what i want to do.
plus theres a gaytar hero to play whenever im not busy

i used to have that mindstate - and did that with every job i've had. trust me, it's totally cool to do up until you're out of money, and searching for jobs from square one with no references except the people you burned. mindless jobs are stupid as fuck, but everyone needs their bread and butter, don't burn your bridges man - you may end wanting to go back across

I dunno if you consider what I do retail... But I stock everything from the shaving shit to the cosmetics. All the new stuff is fun to put out, throwing boxes around and straighting up the shelfs. But the person who orders for the department is fucking stupid, so we always have overstock, and the other shifts just open the shit up and put it randomly in these boxes, which someone else at night puts them into carts for me.
So I have like 5 shopping carts full of random shit I have to put up a night.
I mean I already hate the job, they don't let you get overtime, and when they cut your time to prevent you from getting overtime, they expect you to get the same amount of work done that day.
But really it's not bad for 9 dollars an hour, I don't have to think at all.

I dont really mind that most of the time.
I dont take shit from anybody, especially a fucking customer, first of all. so ive never really felt like ive "lost a battle".
if someone becomes an asshole or gets fed up with me and tells me "well im going to best buy then" or "im gonna find someone else to help me" i really dont care, the sooner they walk away from me the better. ill even tell them HOW to get to the closest best buy just to get them the hell out of the store quicker.
i think thats what bothers me the most, that they think i actually CARE about their business with my store.

Yeah man.
I have managed to turn the tables on some people that were initially pissed off at me. after they bitch at me and see how i react and how im still willing to help them (if i really have to) they end up getting all soft and apologizing to ME.

The best is when customers figure out how fucked up the store is ran, and they laugh/talk shit with you.
