Quoth LadyAndreca View PostIt really really hurts when your husband says it AFTER WATCHING YOU HAVE TO QUIT YOUR LAST RETAIL JOB BECAUSE OF STRESS. Apparently the same job at a different store is now 'easy' because I no longer bitch constantly, and me being worn out is because I don't sleep enough.
New store does result in the odd panic attack, but not as many as my old store and in general, the supervisors are friendly enough to talk to if it gets too much.
A lot of my customers seem to recognise that working retail isn't easy as well....when I mention my old store, they often start laughing and say "well if you worked there, you can get in anywhere!"The best professors are mad scientists! -Zoom
Now queen of USSR-Land...

I still get pissed when people refer to retail as "unskilled" work.
Yes, dealing with phone shoppers while trying to help a long line of customers who all want things, some of whom can't communicate their needs in English coherent or otherwise is just child's play. Any monkey could walk in and do my job, yup, sure.

There's people being condescending about customer service positions, then there's technical terms to describe jobs. This is just one of the latter.
