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.
