So I got a job in a new opening store (home wear) and this is my first retail experience.
The store is opening next month so the whole team is training (25 people ) everyone is new . Yesterday was the first training day and everyone was introducing themselves and having small talk and I’m horrible with small talk . Reasons : 1. I don’t like sharing with strangers and 2. I’m not interested in other people lives . I know that we have to try and be friendly,I’m friendly and polite to everyone but I usually have 1 or 2 friends it’s been like this everywhere,school and other jobs . Plus there’s the main manager attention seeker old lady that makes “jokes” and tells the sub manager to shut up in front of everyone but he laughed so that was ok 🤨 he basically laughs at everything’s she says . At lunch time everyone gathered at the table and talked about god knows what ! I’m now thinking that this might not be a good job for me.I’m a beauty therapist so I’m used to having one person at time and small talks with clients I don’t mind because I’m getting paid for it but I don’t know if I can take 25 people trying to prove something to each other .
