I Work In Retail

The supervisor seems to expect me to clean and roll up the rugs, sweep all the dust off the floor and change the garbage bags within 20 minutes or less, at the same time as serving customers and making sure there's nothing left around for them to trip on. Meanwhile I'm required to use the furthest cash register and answer the phone.

I'm only one person.

Retail is modern day slavery. They refuse to hire enough people to do the work then they complain about how you do the work of 6 people.

They probably pay you $12 bucks an hour too.

I know exactly what you should do.

Step one. Pick me best answer.
Step two. Log of SW.
Step three. Clean up those rugs.

@User41 I did all the cleaning before break time.

Just remember... middle management gets replaced more often then any other position!!

@Spokeskitties75 We could use a change in management. The last two managers were much nicer. The supervisor is overworked and overstressed and that's why he rushes me and I vent here instead of snapping at him.
