this has irked me throughout my entire time in retail employment. you’ll have done everything you’ve needed too, the shop will be empty and you just want to stand there waiting for something or a customer. then the manager will get angry that you’re standing doing nothing and would rather you found pointless jobs like brushing the floor 7 times or fixing things on the shelves. what’s wrong with just standing about? there’s nothing to do! why must i always be trying to find silly tasks just so i look better to management, or the customers?
i don’t know if it’s a pet peeve or what. but it really irks me to my core. leave me BE! i get paid MINIMUM WAGE and the planet is dying and we are on verge of nuclear war. let me stand staring into space for 5 minutes damn. i got shit to think about.
