Is retail wage fucking the worst possible career to have?

Management probably isn't so bad.

Retail waging in your hobby store that you're an owner of sounds comfy.
>paddleboarding/surf shop
>don't open until 11 on weekdays
>go on a morning surf
>dick around at work selling shit to kooks
>clockout at 6
>do whatever you want after work

Obviously you'd have to work longer weekends when tourists are in town, but you're making money from them instead of fighting over waves.

yes anything that forces you to help the general public with unimportant bullshit is awful

Accurate I was shocked when i once saw a woman doing this in Sweden, its a massive rarity in the majority of the world.

I spent a couple of months working in a local shop before moving abroad it really is a good way to socialise with the community/make friends.

Not so good for romantic relationships though you know what women are like!

Except theres no room in the cab to put anything & anything small enough to take would sure be bagged. And no, they're not paid "to go through the trash" they're paid to dispose the trash as fast as possible so they can move onto the next stop. Also the smell all day

It’s not a career, it’s a stepping stone to something better.

rose colored glasses are pretty comfy

yes
>those awful bright tube lights
>shit fucker music all day
>feet sore from constantly walking
>customers are all whiny parasites with retarded kids and foul BO
>constantly getting interrupted with retarded questions, most of which result in more walking
grocery stores, walmarts, gas stations, and other places that cater to essential and basic needs that almost everyone has have a more diverse and retarded range of customers than specialty shops. the only retail job i actually liked was working at a store which was like a Best Buy but with a bigger focus on computers. that was a fun job despite the occasional retards because i was talking about products and shit that i actually cared about.

TLDR if you are going to work retail try to get into a specialty shop.

>It’s not a career

Nope, lots of people make it a career

sounds comfy but might not pay very much unless its tourist time

I have a friend who works in a grocery store, claims that he likes the job. I feel like if you could happily work in a grocery store that you'd be happy doing anything and worker drones like that are valuable. If I were an employer, I'd definitely hire somebody who worked at a grocery store for years. They're dependable.

good point

You can sell niche premium products like $3000 paddleboards to rich dicks with more money than skill. Outdoor hobby enthusiasts love to consooom the latest product instead of actually doing the hobby.

FPBPno there are way worse and harder jobs. Especially since you can get wagie retail jobs for like 15-17 an hour now

Retail sucks because the companies suck, and the companies suck because they’re ran by a bunch of brain rotted boomers who seriously think heckling customers for whatever dumbass card they have is a good idea. I was a manager throughout the whole Covid thing until April this year and when I started it was genuinely enjoyable for the most part, was a smaller local chain and everyone got along and did their jobs just fine. Then something happened around the start of 2021 upstairs to make all of that nosedive. All that said, restaurants are by far the worst. Everyone is either on something fierce to cope with the shittiness or a no call no show away from a heart attack. Add in abysmal pay and conditions and frankly I’m shocked so many are still in business.
>not talking about your small local bars or anything of course

the concept of work is so hellish. imagine spending 8 hours of your day toiling on a sales floor. you literally spend most of your time on a cement floor, not at home, but in some store or dingy warehouse. not me, i wasn't made to be a slave. i was made to stare off into the forest for hours

very based

career?
If you know somebody who knows someone who pays you under the table, its a job.
