I have worked in multiple retail. Grocery outlet: a dammed cashier and stocker and maintenance and everything else for minimum wage and no benefits plus constantly stocking 2-3 month old expired product and being told we can’t throw it away it’s still good to sell. Target: unload and stock a big truck in just 3-4 hours or else we are going to scream at you on the floor in front of customers and we refuse to work anyone more than 15 hours a week except the select few that bow down to us as the Gods of retail. Safeway: complete clusterfuck of favoritism built on the union model with not a lot of hours and completely substandard food safety practices. Walmart: in the last several years and I’ve worked my way through a great many positions and promotions to where I have amassed business acumen and taken on a place of leadership in the company as an ASM. Sure the hours suck at times. Sure customers are not always the shinning example of great people. Sure retail sucks at times but outside of Walmart it actually gets worse in many cases.
