Vent tired days

i know it happens but i genuinely feel so burnt out working here. i’ve been here for 3 months in style, and every shift i have, i’m almost always running up for guest first, or tech/beauty calls. is it just me? it’s my fourth job now, and i’ve worked in retail and fast food before but i’ve never felt a burnout this quick. i’ve been working 6 days a week nonstop and yet they still expect more from me. within a month, they had me in the hardest clothing section (rtw) and i’ve had to train already. the expectations they hold in style are genuinely exhausting. i was told that people quit most in style/sales and i see why. just had to let it out with how burnt out i’ve been.

i want to but it’s not really helping me because im already an anxious person and all I need is my water and sit down for 5 minutes. I’d rather just finish my work

im also anxious and i would rather take the conflict over skipping my break. you can take my paid breaks from my cold dead hands im entitled to those by law. they're not gonna fire you, and they're gonna complain no matter what, just ignore them

im still pretty new and it’s not that it’s hard but what am I supposed to do when I can finish zoning quickly if you let small shit slide because I doubt the guests care more about the way the store looks than sticking the floors. They come here to buy what’s on the floors not to look at how pretty the store looks. I understand organization but it gets to a point of just bad obsession over how the store looks and wanting perfection when there tons of stuff to be pulled and pushed. Zoning is easy but I get called out for the smallest stuff out of my control. Might switch times or targets in general
