I've had an interesting time with my job lately. I said in a MOM post that my managers were idiotic dickheads who dropped my hours from 40 to 8 every week, and that still stands. So I went about looking for a second job to help me be able to, y'know, buy food and stuff.
I worked for the last two years or so in security, where I was able to sit down, go at my own pace for the most part, and not have to deal with the general public. For as much as my bosses sucked, it was really a cushy gig. However, now I have finally found a new job at Ross Dress for Less! Really relieved to have a second income coming in, since I need to keep what few hours I have at my security job.
However, as the excitement from getting the new job fades, I thought about how I'm going to have to get used to working in a retail setting. I worked for three years at a grocery store before my security job, so I've had experience, but it was really hard work, as we all know.
I'm thinking about how I'll be on my feet for hours at a time again. How I'm going to have to deal with irate or stupid customers. How I'm going to have to interact a lot more with my co-workers. And now for the reason I'm making this thread. What would you recommend to help me shift more smoothly into retail again? What can I do to make the transition as easy on myself as possible? Any well-wishes or advice would greatly help. Thanks, guys.
