many years ago I dated a girl I met who worked as a checkout chick. She worked that job to fund her studies and now earns big bucks as a dental assistant. Another girl who also worked the checkouts and cleaned toilets is now a commercial pilot flying Dash 8s. You work the crappy jobs to fund the studies to get the great jobs. These days, folks are too lazy to bother.

Because you become the focus against whatever grievance a customer there has against the company. They don't understand you're just doing it to get money.

Also you have the part where the customer believes they know everything and they are always right.

You're basically a slave.
You do the same thing, over and over.
The customers are rude. And the customer is always right. (yeah)
You're supposed to be cheery and friendly to everybody (no matter how you feel inside)
You have to stand in one place for hours on end.

Did it many times, and yes it does suck.

Sigh, I've been there. Some days everyone targets you with their bad attitude, because they can.

Hey, try asking your union representative that question?

Seriously, take a class, study & get out of there.
Pursuit of happiness? It ain't that.

Answer 9

It doesn't if that is what you like ans want to do. If not, quit your job and use whatever skills you have in a job more to your liking. If you lack the skills, go back to school and get them! No one should ever work in a job they "hate."

Good luck!!
