Working in retail is not just "stand around and sell things" okay?
People always say retail job “easy”. You just need to stand, smile, and sell. But they don’t see us dealing with rude customers, no rest breaks during peak hour, and still expected to hit sales target. 😩 And if we complain, they say “customer is always right.” How to tahan? Some days I really feel like walking out, but bills gotta be paid...
