The Age-Old Question

Why do I still work here if it sounds like everyday sucks?

Well, it's complicated. I love working with my fellow level 1s, and we all joke and it really is like my second family. I've been at this store for a while now, so I know everyone pretty well, except the newbies of course. I have a lot of good friends under the T, most of which I never would have talked to otherwise. We do stuff outside of work, and so when working it makes the day go by that much quicker. The pay isn't half bad either. Getting paid for what I do seems like they are overpaying me somedays.

All and all, I think I like to complain. But hey, it's MY life, and I'll decide what I want to do with it. Usually I'm just venting because everyone needs an outlet. Would you rather have someone let off steam here or go beserk when they can't handle it anymore? If you don't like to hear me complain, the 'Next Blog' button is up there for you to enjoy. My blog, my way.

This may seem like a random post, but I was just responding to a comment on this site. I'm not trying to be rude, but quitting never really solves anything. I figure if I stay with the almighty bullseye, I might be able to change things for the better, if not I have a hella lot of good stories that can make people smile.

And if anything, I hope this blog makes people realize that retail employees are people too, and please treat us as so. Be polite, and you will make a good impression on this person. I remember plenty of days where I was having a crummy day because of how people were treating me, and then one person comes along, and is so nice and understanding that you say you smiled at least once that day. Treat these retail employees with respect because I know from experience, we treat you the way you treat us.

Any other questions? ;)
