I have been overnight for several years, first working in the shoe department and then doing planograms.
Even though it has had its ups and downs I have generally been a lot happier since moving to the overnight shift because I didn't have to deal with customers very often. Occasionally I had to help them a little bit if they stayed late in the store while the overnight crew was coming in or during seasonal things like Black Friday, but for the most part I have been able to work without customers. This has improved my life tremendously because I was able to focus on just my work without the craziness of the public being involved, without being subjected to unwanted comments about my body, my hair, or falsely accused of racism or rudeness, etc. I even had customers try to grope me before and I don't think I could put up with that again.
I've only had to deal with my coworkers, which hasn't always been very pleasant, but at least they weren't customers.
Now my job might be shifting back to the day time. I am seriously thinking of quitting and trying to find another job because I don't want to go back to that ever. Customer interaction was traumatizing and draining for me. I hated it.
Can anybody recommend a good job type that pays around $10/hr that you don't need a lot of experience for where you don't have to constantly deal with the public? I only have retail experience but I do have an office assistant certificate and an administrative assistant certificate and an Associate in Science degree.
I am really good with working with objects (I could probably do something like data entry, or filling out forms, etc.) but not so much with people if it's more than a few at a time. I work better independently than in a group setting too.
Is there any job I could do?
