I Work In Retail

Are most retail jobs understaffed? I seem to get called in a good bit because we are always understaffed and a lot of employees are not reliable. I feel like a chump for agreeing to go in so much but then I feel sorry for the managers I like being in such a bind most of the time.

I've always covered for others in all my jobs.. I once was in the middle of grocery shopping when I was called and asked to come in.. I left my shopping trolley and went in to work.. I was a bit annoyed to find it was only because someone else was sulking that they didn't come in.. but I always covered others.. I'd often end up working 7 days a week, often double shifts...

I don't think it's just retail..
