Question is self explanatory. You don't have to say where you work or what you work as, I'm just curious because I recently got into a job I really enjoy.

My job is not a bad job, not the worst I had, but I am sure I could find one I like more.
Pros:
A manager that I can work with and actually get excited when she comes in. She called me once and asked if I could come in super early. I said not that early, but I could come in an hour early, and she didn't seem that impressed. However, when I upheld my promise, coming in an hour early, she actually greeted me with enthusiasm. "Zoeee~! *comes up and hugs* You actually came in early!"
Manager that knows what jobs to put me on depending on my mood. When Lori shitted me out, I was crushed and upset, but went to work anyway. She asked the backup to be primary and had me do reshop so I didn't have to deal with difficult customers when I was emotionally fragile. When I got (my first) ticket, I was upset and had half an hour breakdown (for a five hour shift) in the bathroom, but Margie was understanding. I still have my job. When I worked at the box office and had a hour breakdown (four an 8 hour shift, so it's proportionally not that different), I was fired the next day.
A job that I can have fun at. I can dress up for Halloween, and put decorations on my nametag, make jokes that not only make coworkers laugh, but customers, too. When I worked at Winn Dixie, I had a few people tell me not to be so excited.
Cons:
one word: CUSTOMERS. a large portion of them can be bitches. >_> And they forget that I'm human and if I'm having a shit day, I'm going to have a drop in my customer service. When I was having such a day (Came in to find that an AC unit exploded water all over register 3 so it smelled of shit and a shitton of impulse was damaged/laying about. Took me 3 minutes to clock in on register 4, only to have it freeze up half an hour later, found out our balloon nozzle had a leak so we were OUT of helium which made people mad that they couldn't get fresh balloons, had a lady being a general PITA about something that in all reality cost 3 cents to make and she was treating it like a million dollars (put it in seperate bags, you people never dust, don't hold it like that, you don't like your job do you? you need to find a job you like! bitchbitchbitchbitchbitch) then my register acted up so I had to move to the hole (register 1) while Paul fought to get register 4 working) I had a customer who decided not to get a couple water jugs and shoved them at the back of the register belt. I asked her to hand them to me (perhaps not as jovial as I should), because I knew full well I'd forget and try to put it on someone else's order, but she ended up getting mad at me and said if I wanted to work in retail, I needed to work on my attitude. Well, excuse me, I'm a human who's had a shitty day! DX Not a machine!

Ugh hate mine 100%. Evil managers. Never holds promises.
And everytime a manager nicely goes "If you need help, just let us know and we'll send someone out!". Several times during BUSY HOURS, they do nothing but say "oh you'll have to wait til the customers are all gone!". Bunch of f@ckers. I get so so so behind all the bin clearing and table cleaning that it's ridiculous then I get managers going "hurry up, you gotta wipe some tables over there!". It always gets me close to telling them I'm out of that hellhole.
I can't wait to get a new job.......

They are trying to phase out plastic Bags in supermarkets by making people buy calico bags for re'use... I own many myself but always forget them when I go shopping  ...like most people it seems |
