I work retail but I'm mostly in back of house and don't interact with customers very often. Retail workers are so bizarre to me. They get paid and treated like shit but sometimes they care so deeply about their job even though there's zero reason to do so. So many of my coworkers will, in the same setting, say they just come in for a paycheck and also complain about the unprofitable mismanagement of a department (oftentimes not even their own department!). I have one coworker who was complaining about being disciplined for not taking his mandated lunch break even though there's absolutely no pressure to skip it. Another one freaked out about the box a product arrived in being possibly incorrectly labeled (it actually was labeled correctly). If I tell any of these people we should organize a union for better pay and benefits they look at me like I have a second head but then they act like this and I'm like "you're all desperate for communism and you don't even know it".

I don't have too many complaints otherwise. It's a little boring this time of year but I'd rather that then super busy.
