Retail you say ? sounds like you are dodging work leaving it for others to do. I have had a bunch of crappy jobs i disliked but i stayed positive. Since you never worked fast food it can really suck. Some 16 year old kid pushing buttons behind the counter says no to cleaning the toilet/poop off the walls in the Bathroom. Not to mention i gotta wash my hands afterwards really good then make burgers. Clean grill ect. Real work takes thoughtful effort. Apparently you are leaving work for other people to do. I worked for the Army Air Force Exchange Service back when my dad was in the military. We got in weekly shipments. Not to mention my boss find things for me to do as it was a military 7-11 kinda store. Question is how hard are you really willing to work ?. Sometimes you have to take a crappy job make the best of it. I got out of fast food moved onto Security. My other point is the work needs to get done. Being presentable. Knowledgeable will get you places. Ever go into a store looking for help ? That could be you. Sitting in the bathroom proves you are lazy. Key is if you look busy or get things done people notice. Boss could come up ask you to move stuff instead of hiding in the bathroom get it done even crack a few jokes. Make the best of it. Work can really suck unless you have that dream job. Even doing security i have done a few places that i would not do ever again. Being Professional, Helpful, and being a go to person allows you to go places. Carrying over work ethics, knowledge, not to mention an understanding of how to help people will speak volumes. Pro Tip:Never sell you're self short.

  • Don't get me wrong, I don't skip work and leave it for others, I throw myself at the work and don't stop till it is done to a high standard, I take pride in what I do. What I am talking about is the fact that by the last two hours there is nothing to do Nd everyone is walking around pretending that they are busy just so managers don't shout. This is when I go to take a 'break' because it is the only damm place to rest in peace

    Always something to do. The thing is being busy not due to the managers yelling but due to you giving things a once over. That bad habit can carry over thus things can change while you are away. Think on what you want to be doing. Those last few hours will go by quicker if you overlook the area you are in check things out. I have come in a few times to find some guy left work for me as he/she was too lazy to check it over before they left. When all is quiet do those last few checks. The other guy will appreciate it on the next shift and it makes work easier when you work for other people down the road. If not it just saved you work the next day not to mention effort. Thinking ahead like that whatever the job means you have an idea of what could happen. So unless you get busy have a plan B. I fight boredom all the time but i keep busy. keep my eyes open most of all i keep things in mind to check on.

  • There is only a certain number if laps you can do around a store before you go mad. When I say nothing I am not exaggerating this is the literal deffinition.
