Retail work SUCKS!
Christine the Curmudgeon knows, she’s done it for way too long. But sometimes, you just need a job, and that’s all you can get.
Well, I am here to tell you that there IS an escape. Consider enrolling in an online university. A school like Western Governors University lets you study in the peace and quiet of your own home. They offer many great online degree programs, surely one of them will be the right fit for you!
But, Christine the Curmudgeon, you may say…my retail job pays crap, no way can I afford to further my education. Well, yes, you CAN! Online learning tends to be less expensive in general, but Western Governors University is surprisingly affordable. And there is still financial aid for those who qualify…yeah, I’m talking to YOU!
Stupidity abounds in the world today, if it didn’t, this blog would not have to exist. Do you REALLY want to spend the rest of your life working at Shaw’s supermarket, with co-workers who are too dumb to understand Produce Identification 101? Do you want to have to put up with teen bimbo cashiers who are offended by the sight of a customer’s pork loin roast, look at it as if it were a dead rat, and then refuse to touch it? Yes, this happened to me last night, and no, it wasn’t leaking out pork juices or anything. This person just had issues, and no one should have to deal with her, be it working with her, or being waited on by her. If pork is so offensive to her, she should be smart enough to quit Shaw’s and take a job at either a Kosher or vegetarian food store.
Or, if she had two brain cells to rub together, she could opt to get some more education, maybe in Business Administration, where she will learn that hiring people like her are NOT good business after all, and perhaps we can get a better grade of supermarket cashiers.
We can always hope!
