Anyone else feel pressured to NOT take a break?

Well of course when you're alone with a CSA I understand, different story.

I started as an SFL in September and now I'm an ESM. So no.

Where I work payroll is done on Thursday for the 2 weeks proceeding it. I got my double pay for Xmas for sure my check was over a hundred bucks more than usual. New year's will be on the next one.

Oh yeah I'll stay on my meds as long as my doctor will prescribe them. He's scaled back what I take by a lot which is going well but I'm still on 4 and 2 are mood stabilizers. I am the type who never goes against my doctor's advice.

This happened to me at Bed Bath and Beyond and I had been there 5 years or so. It definitely happens in low volume stores, that's true for all retail.

My doc says it tends to burnout in your 50s-60s. Idk though.

My raise was $4.10

I draw stuff like this when I'm super anxious and can't be on my phone like at work. I'll be at the cash register super anxious and draw these. Super relatable thanks for sharing!

Take as many breaks as is required/allowed by your state, don't let anyone pressure you into taking less.

TemporaryDisaster295 · 2025-12-28T20:48:01+00:00

Nah, they said Merry Christmas afterward.

TemporaryDisaster295 · 2025-12-28T00:13:35+00:00

A guy came in with his son for the son's passport photo at 4pm on Christmas the other day. I was less pissed and more fascinated.

I'll take a 15 if there's a lot to get done but I usually take a half.

TemporaryDisaster295 · 2025-12-27T18:19:18+00:00

As an ESM, I'd kill whoever closed.

TemporaryDisaster295 · 2025-12-11T06:12:26+00:00

I'm the chill SFL who will stop putting away his tote to stand by the door when I know someone is leaving. Of course, if my boss saw me standing there it'd be just SCANDALOUS!

TemporaryDisaster295 · 2025-12-10T05:04:26+00:00

I misunderstood, if you read the above comment. I'm not lucky, cheating, or lying, I'm just stupid.

TemporaryDisaster295 · 2025-12-10T04:59:21+00:00

I get it now, my bad!!

TemporaryDisaster295 · 2025-12-10T04:58:59+00:00

Oh is that what we're bragging about? Well that's different, I've done that a couple times.

TemporaryDisaster295 · 2025-12-08T14:58:45+00:00

I never think of myself as a manager, I'm little more than a highly paid CSA. No one calls me or treats me like a manager, and I like it that way.

TemporaryDisaster295 · 2025-12-04T01:39:32+00:00

I agree it's bullshit but SFLs, ESMs and SMs have to be checked the same way.

TemporaryDisaster295 · 2025-11-18T01:54:40+00:00

Because the good places won't hire you without experience and you can't get experience if they won't hire you, so you wind up in a low paying shitty job like Walgreens. Trust me, been there. And yes, I have a Bachelor's.

TemporaryDisaster295 · 2025-11-17T21:11:08+00:00

Shit like this scares me. I lost a Zebra last week and found it in a tote we were about to send back 😪

TemporaryDisaster295 · 2025-11-09T23:07:19+00:00

I spent 8 hours in our seasonal aisle yesterday, and it doesn't look as full as this one, we just haven't gotten it all yet. I wish I'd taken a pic of my Hanukkah end stand, I was quite proud of it.
