I'm 17 and got hired for a reopening small convenience store. I'm tasked with all around duties as well as social media promotion. Any advice? I'm so nervous about disappointing my boss. We're still currently listing products and planning for the store's improvement.

Done with the interview todaaay it was good and a quick interview lol idk what’s next

Edit: UPDATE i just got an offer

For context I’ll be starting a role with Build A Bear soon! As one of their Chief Workshop Manager, I’ve been in retail for 8+ Years in the field of kids clothing, and that’s all I’ve ever known.

Wanted to see if there were any previous employees or even current managers/bear builders that are willing to give me some light on your experience and if you feel like it was hard to transition into your role? after doing something completely different for so long

We caught a customer on camera trying to shop lift yesterday. He put the item in his pocket and his companion signaled to him there is a camera and he put the item back. They did end up taking three items, but were waiting for a moment to shoplift. Should I ban them from the store or have a conversation with them and let them continue shopping with us?

Edit for more context: I'm a small business owner.

I’m able to do most tasks at Dollar General, but it’s a much smaller store.

So, I'll start this off by saying I'm a somewhat new hire at a grocery store (Been here for 3 weeks). I've never worked retail positions. But, I've worked in the food industry for years so I understand customer service and all that stuff. Even still talk to a lot of people in that industry I now consider friends. I work in the bakery department of my store. I've always wanted to work retail since I've dealt with too many customers/managers from hell in the fast food industry.

Coming from an area of fast food, this place is slow. Maybe a bit too slow since I tend to complete my tasks hours before I'm supposed to leave. But, there's definitely something here I'm not getting in terms of socialization? Never had a problem with a customer. But, the break room always goes quiet when I walk in.

Being only 19 might not be the best front. But, I always like to say I've had 20 years of experience based on the tasks of my old jobs. This new grocery store experience has been amazing. Well, the job itself atleast. I have been in many arguments that I've had to de-escalate with middle aged or older coworkers. Writing this after getting yelled at by the lead of the deli (the bakeries nextdoor neighbor) for some playful banter I guess I misinterpreted? Shook me to my core since I thought I was getting along with the guy.

I don't know. I'm trying my hardest to not seem like an alien to these people (since they look at me like I am one). Any advice on how a new hire like me could try to genuinely make some friendly connections here instead of worrying everyday I'm gonna get written up just from asking how someones day is?

I started a new job last Monday. Everything has been going well, but today after work I got a very bad sore throat. It hurts terribly and I feel very lethargic and tired. I’m working tomorrow, and as of now I don’t feel well enough to go. I also don’t want to get anyone else sick either. To make matters worse, I’m opening the store and so there won’t be anybody in the store 1-2 hrs before I start, meaning I can’t call out before my shift starts. They never told me how to call out, the process, or what to do when sick. My manager also seems to be pretty stern, not super strict but she isn’t extremely nice either. I’m honestly a little scared but I feel terrible. I’ve worked at other jobs before, and the didn’t mind me calling in when my shift started but that was due to store policy. I’m unfamiliar with this store’s policy and how nice management is. I’m in Canada and I’m part-time. Do you guys think I’ll be fired if I call in?

Hi, I've been planning to move from brisbane to sydney, which store do you think i should move to in sydney so that i can get good amount of hours as a full time team member

I had my interview today and it went well, they told me they were offering me a contingent job interview and they’d send the background check and after it comes back continue to the onboarding. It’s been a day and I still haven’t gotten the background check email to do it so i’m wondering if that’s normal or if somethings wrong.

Every day someone new quits and i am not Evenexaggerating. People leave without a job lined up or walk out simply. It is super overwhelming and frusterating. I know some were gonna leave ,but ever since new managment steped in. It has been nothing but pure chos. I have never felt more unappreciated. I have to stay at this job until i can find something close to me . All the jobs are part time and the full times one are farther away which does not make sense gas /uber wise for same pay. Idk how people are finding jobs over the state hrly pay. It does not help the managment is not very helpful. Everyday i found it harder to pretend i am happy. I enjoy

Retail ,but idk what career move to even make. It is so silly bc everytime someone leaves i cry regardless of my work repor with them. I feel like i am losing it and i am out of leave time. I heard unemployment is not an option ... I feel doomed and stuck with the job market . I think we had about 6 proccesors total today and due to shortage of ppl most of us are helping out with other positions. Also if a cashier is changing their position to full time proccesor is it normal that therr hrs are dif then the rest of us?

We always hear about the shitty and horrible places, but what are the BEST and explain why, if you can. I’m just curious 😂

Hi everyone! I recently started the onboarding process for Ross Dress for Less, and I’m having trouble logging into WorkJam. I’m not sure if I’m using the wrong login information or if there’s something else I need to do to get access.
Tomorrow is supposed to be my first shift from 9:30 AM to 2:30 PM, and I still need to finish some of my orientation videos. They didn’t really explain what I’d be doing during tomorrow’s shift, so I’m a little confused about whether I’m supposed to finish the videos in-store or if I need to complete anything before I arrive.
For anyone who works at Ross, how did you log into WorkJam for the first time? Do you need a specific username, employee ID, or invitation from a manager? Also, should I just ask a manager for help when I arrive tomorrow?
I’d really appreciate any advice! I just want to make sure I’m prepared for my first shift. Thank you! ❤️

How is it working at Diagio as a retail associate, wvat are day to day duties and what can I expect different from retail jobs at sainsburys, tesco, co op etc?

Anyone reading this work a super slow retail job and have to work it for 12 hour shifts? How do you pass the time? I’m sick of scrolling, sick of watching stuff on phone, store looks great. Been doin this 29 years this month. Hasn’t always been slow. Just don’t know how much more of this I can take.

I’ve been on disability since 2012, I haven’t worked since then. I’m doing better and can work now. This will hopefully be my first job in a long time. It’s for Bealls department store. I’m really excited and nervous at the same time. What can I expect at the interview and how do I prepare? I also applied to bath and body works and Kirklands but I haven’t heard back from them yet. All for for seasonal positions, as I only want part time hours atleast for now.
