I was just wondering if any of you here would be able to stand working in a fast food environment, a super market type environment, a stocking environment, a casheriing environment all at your minimum wage pay.
I worked at Sams Club in their fast food department where they sell pizzas, pretzels, drinks, etc and I could not live with the stress ontop of my obsessive compulsive disorders so I actually walked out and quit while they told me to take my lunch. I was about three or four days into my job and I actually walked out.
I worked stocking shelves and bagging customers groceries for about a month and I just never went to work again. I could never ever imagine going back to these type of jobs ever again. But I guess if times were hard and nobody was hiring I'd have to do it. I'd probably walk out and quit again but I guess I don't really know.
I'm currently in a manager position at my current company selling cellular phones. But, my work environment is totally different from anything I've ever done. I work in a kiosk, alone, selling phones, going online, etc. I am not monitored by anyone. At times my upper management which is one lady (awfully nice lady), will come by. But, she'll call me before she comes letting me know when and what time she'll be here. I just feel that I am extremely spoiled at this job because of the no supervision deal.
The thing is, we're probably gonna be closing down soon. We currently operate seven stores. Out of the seven only four does well. We hit our two year anniversary mark already this August. Out of the four managers that I speak with, our guess is that we'll be closing down in December. We took a major paycut in order for us to still be operating right now. One of the managers already demoted himself to part-time and is not going back to college. We were making $30k salary, and I believe we took a cut down to $20k salary.
I don't know how I could ever go back to working at a lower rate than $10.00 an hour. I have about eight months of managerial experience. If we close in December that will leave me with about eleven months of managerial experience. I'm riding this thing out because I want all the experience I can get. I don't know if I want to continue in retail sales though. I'd love to enter the IT market (I know it's crappy right now) but sitting down monitoring computers is my ideal job (at least now it is).
I guess I could say I want advice on what to do. I'm still going to community college. I only have twelve credits to my name. I need sixty in order to get an AA degree in liberal arts which will then help me to transfer over to a University. I plan to major in either Computer Science, Business, Psychology, or whatever comes to mind when I'm ready to get there.
Ok so I wrote my life story and I guess it's time for some cliffnotes.
-What are some jobs you could never do
-I work as a manager at a cell phone store, spoiled, happy, no supervision
-Job will probably end soon due to other stores not meeting their quotas and or sales
-Advice please
Thanks for reading.

I never noticed that my message was this long.
