Just swallowed pride and took my old retail job back

[luvaznpoon]

Can someone link me to that big thread that was in here on everybody's retail experiences?

 

[bennyfein]

What skills do you have?

 

[GoldTeef]

[Gonzo]

As ppl.may or may not know, I'm a cashier at the mall and I just took my old retail job back to get extra money so I can save. I wanna move by the fall at the latest.

I came in pretty mature, thinking about just Manning up and handling my business but this shyt is unbearable man.
I'm at a different local out in a weird suburban area. These ppl are fukking weirdos man, they're like the morlocks from xmen. Nice people but theyre off man. My coworkers are weirdos, u can't even talk to them. One dude that I work with like that meme of the black guy holding the cell phone 100 % like his clone, he's a nice guy but very off. I know his p*ssy getting days are over unless he hit the lottery. Seen one white dude with a pineapple shaped head and square earrings and dressed like it's 2003 wandering aimlessly like a lost soul. Another guy was in the furniture section staring at the same 5 fukking boxes for a hour, just lost....it's sad and a harsh reminder of who I'll become if I stay here.

Place is like the twilight zone, anyway it taught me a very value lesson about capitalism. If u can't get the opportunities needed to do what u want, you'll end up in some random place you're not meant to be. Roght now , there's a chick that look and sing like Beyonce somewhere in a basement making socks in a factory somewhere or filling up gas tanks...that's how fukked up the game is when u don't have opportunity or resources.

It is what it is, life deal us all with a hand, but it's amazing how the system can shape a person fate, it's interesting...

That's why it's important to know yourself and figure out how to put yourself in environments that u can thrive in

I enjoyed your descriptions way much more than I should have

Opportunity and access are important factors to success in a capitalist economy. Someone with a lot of natural ability can be shunned or given poor circumstances and not reach their potential.

Knowing you're highly gifted and not being allowed to reach your potential can destroy a person. Settling is heart breaking. Sometimes I wish I never knew what I was capable of and what others with my ability have done with better circumstances.


It's fukked up, but that's the game.

 

[DamonDashsRocAFellaChain]

Indeed

As much as I hate to say this I must say this: we're luckier than so many people. Lol its so fukking sad it's funny to me.

I'm seconds away from hanging myself from the ceiling everyday because all this shyt is depressing, but I still have it better than a lot of people. That makes me laugh.

There's someone right now who would play Russian roulette to have the options we do. Failure to me is being middle management at some company that isn't mine in an industry I don't care about. For most people that's their goal. That's why they reach their goals at like 23.

Let's keep it real. That's not a lot of grinding. So maybe that goal wasn't so hard to accomplish. Lebron is 31 and he still hasn't reached his goal and he's worked everyday of his 31 years of life to get there.

I was complaining to my homie about being a failure and he told me he aspires to be like me. I almost laughed at him. But I thought about it and yeah my shytty position is enviable to some.

That's true, when I set high goals...some success good enough, u want it all...and reg ppl are satisfied with the bare minimum so they look at anything outside of avg as good

 

[GrindtooFilthy]

op judging others but he made a thread last time about he getting tired of being judged himself

 

[Raava]

Gotta check my posting history. Dr X is one of those who hates on regular white collar job having folk when he mans a mall kiosk.

y'all mean

 

[HoldThisL]

Dam I wish I was like you OP. I used to work retail but I just cant, even though I need a job. My mental issues are too severe right now for that life sucking shyt.

I used to do Stock work for Target and was also a Dishwasher for a restaraunt . I went straight back to college after those experiences.

Right now im working on myself and gaining more skills so I can put myself in a field of my desire.
