the constant interruption is psychologically agonizing
disclosure, i know this job is relatively easy. Ive had genuinely backbreaking jobs before working in food production and manufacturing so Im not gonna pretend that stocking shelves and running a cash register is the most labor intensive thing in the world. But psychologically, this job can be fucking horrible some days. Im on my 2nd day in a row of doing open-close alone and the rate at which customers come in and require help leaving me unable to do anything else is pushing me to the edge. I gave an honest effort to give some real work done yesterday, but I couldnt so much as pick up a case and walk to the shelf before a customer requires help. I would get 2-4 customer interruptions before being able to finish stocking 1 case. Walk there, and back, and there, and back etc etc. Today im just sitting behind the register. Even scanning out damages or doing thr cctv review is next to impossible with the hht screen timing out every 3 seconds and the office being a solid 20 yards from the register. Fuck it. I did 1/2 a RT yesterday in 14 hours so genuinely what is the point. So im just sitting on my phone. But its still irritating getting interrupted every 30 seconds-2 minutes. Fuck. I need a couple days off.
