I live in an area where the economy is especially bad. It has taken me 2 years to finally get a job. I'm going to be able to work part-time (good enough!) at a retail store, similar to Wal-Mart. I'm going to be a stocker...I'm still unsure about my job responsibilities beyond that.
But during the interview the person I was talking to kept talking about what a fast pace it is. She said it gets very hectic and I have to move very fast during those 8 hours.
So, now I'm not so excited about the job. I realize what I'm getting into. It's not a desk job and I didn't plan on slacking off or leisurely getting things done. I'll try my hardest.
But I don't know if I can sprint back and forth like some people can. I'm afraid I'm going to be huffing and puffing to keep up, and something embarrassing will happen. Either one of the teenagers I have to work with gets angry because I can't do my part, or I get reprimanded and fired. I'd have to explain to my family how I lost the job.
But, I haven't even started yet.
Do any of you ladies have good experience in retail? Or at least not terribly embarrassing experiences?
Thanks.
