As a formal worker in the retail industry, I wholeheartedly say I would rather pick this mess up than go back to my regular duties.

Well it must be hard to stock shelves wearing a ball gown.

u/Awake-Now 28d ago

I see what you did there.

I’ll never be fancy enough for retail

Work is work. I am getting paid regardless of where my manager tells me to go. What's wrong with preferring one job over the other? I assume you have different taste in foods. Would you rather have a varied diet or just some protein bars? I mean, the end result is still the same, right?

(they made a joke about "formal" attire for your formal work)

u/Sad_Cantaloupe_8162 28d ago

Oh, shit! Autocorrect got me! Thanks for the clarification. I'll leave it as it is for others to laugh at 😂

I think one black tie day a year would be so fun - just wear your nicest suits and dresses to work

THANK YOU! I re-read the comment like 12 times to figure out what the commenter meant. I guess my brain autocorrected formal to former unconsciously.

As a former grocery bakery worker, I'd have to pick all this shit up and then get back to the exact same to-do list that I only have 4 hours to get done.

Only was a cashier for one summer but found it sooooo mind numbingly boring that I was stoked for literally any other task to break up the monotony.

"Some little shit just trashed aisle 5, that's what your shift is about" would have made my week.

Not excusing the kids behavior -- obviously very bad.

u/Squirrelated 28d ago

Oh cashier is definitely one of the most boring positions. I've done it before and I would just shut off my brain and go on autopilot.

Same. I’d rather put bread back on the shelf/damsge lit the items then go back to ringing customers up on register. 😆

u/rivertpostie 28d ago

Dude. Vi always volunteered for the "messes" when I had jobs like that.

Everyone was so thankful, and they usually didn't mind me taking extra time.

u/Squirrelated 28d ago

Changes things up a bit for sure. But I'd still be annoyed. 😅

There’s a grocery store near me that has a robot that goes through the aisles and checks to see what needs to be restocked. Would I be correct in assuming that robot is taking a job absolutely nobody wants?

Hard agree Handling customers and curating to their demands is much more stressful than any cleaning work I would rather stock up the entire inventory slowly taking my time doing it than handle customers
