Hi,
I worked 7 years ago at Schmal-mart in the housewares section. Although I only really worked in that section 30 minutes a day when the manager didn't have me out pushing carts the whole time I was on shift. I had some doozies of customers working there.
I went off and worked security for a few more years and didn't have to deal with to many customers. Although the station I was assigned to was in the middle of the night at a secluded lake I had quite a few run-ins with people copulating in their cars.
For a few years I didn't work any customer related jobs and made my life much more happier. Then the big day came when my brother called me up during the supermarket strike here in Southern California. He told me he had a friend who was a store manager and needed someone with a commercial license to go out and get the trucks so they could get their deliveries.
To make a long story short I was hired and worked in Albertson's for four months. I ran the milk box while doing my other duties and making more a week than the store manager. Not to long after that gig ended I went on to drive heavy equipment for a few years.
Now I work for a home improvement store which wont be mentioned
The Home Depot. My main job there is to stock the freight that comes in. They switched over to a new schedule for their freight associates from 8 hours to 4 hours. The management complains that their freight isn't being put away when they get 120 pallets. When you only work 4 hours and two of them are during store hours, and it takes two hours to take out and put away the freight. We get all the heat and comments like my 4 man team can do 120 pallets in 8 hours while the store is closed.
Sorry didn't mean to rant there, anyways I'm new but not new to retail.
