Ready to quit after day 2

Hi all! First time posting here and have been searching for others experiences! Gonna try to keep it short. Found a post on a group for a local place hiring cashiers. Got called for an “interview” which was basically a run down of the job, cashier + stocking some of the items. The days : Mon/Wed (all day in my head 8hrs), then Thur/Fri closing. Was asked how much I'd want in terms of pay then after saying yea this all fine, asked to start the next day if I could. (Red flag I missed) and said yes not realizing all day means 10+ hours to help open and close. 7h15 to 6h30. All under the impression this was to learn both opening things and closing. Ok… I was asked no actual interview questions and wasn't told any benefits, schedule in terms of the “normal” hours expected… unorganised mess. (2nd…


Hi all! First time posting here and have been searching for others experiences! Gonna try to keep it short.

Found a post on a group for a local place hiring cashiers. Got called for an “interview” which was basically a run down of the job, cashier + stocking some of the items. The days : Mon/Wed (all day in my head 8hrs), then Thur/Fri closing.

Was asked how much I'd want in terms of pay then after saying yea this all fine, asked to start the next day if I could. (Red flag I missed) and said yes not realizing all day means 10+ hours to help open and close. 7h15 to 6h30. All under the impression this was to learn both opening things and closing. Ok… I was asked no actual interview questions and wasn't told any benefits, schedule in terms of the “normal” hours expected… unorganised mess. (2nd red flag I missed and I should have asked so that's my fault, but not really?)

First day, I realized this isn't gonna be something I can do. Was asked later that day if I could come in at 630am, and said yes because I'd be leaving at 12pm. I was in so much pain, my legs and feet hurt, I was soo exhausted.

2nd day, solidified it for me, with having to get up hella early, barely ate a breakfast because I'm never hungry at 530 am and after being told I'd be closing and then realising I think they expect me to work 10hrs + again, just did it.

So immediately came home and emailed another place that hadn't gotten back to me and set up an interview.

Texted my manager to tell her, I can close on monday but I cannot do 10hr days and can only do 8hrs max. She said “ok, I'll verify and well retalk monday”… I reply ” ok, what time do I come in on Monday because if its 7h15, I can't unfortunately close”

She never responded, so I don't know what to do besides bug her again Sunday. I'm praying this other place hires me, but if they don't, I'm mostly gonna quit.

I just also don't wanna have to go there to pick up a check from them awkwardly after 2 days. Anyway.

Thanks for reading my rant!

Ps: I couldn't find any employee reviews online, but I think it's because basically everyone there has worked there for years, since the 70s even (its a local small place)
