Retail is not for the faint of heart. It’s just not. It IS sweat shop conditions. I salute Americans who work it. Most of them do it with a great work ethic.
Short-order cook, and fast food cashiers ain’t retail sales.
Fast food restaurant workers provide a service...a customer orders what they want, and the employees deliver...2 times out of 10...
Retail salesmen/chicks have to convince a customer that they cannot live without said product...get them to part with their money. Fast food; we give the money to the company for a shoddy product.
Go ahead and salute your fry cook; I’ll cuss them because I said, “I DONT WANT DAMNED ONIONS ON MY BURGER!”
I’d be willing to bet you are a bit younger than me...that said, I’ve done fast food, and retail. Retail is more lucrative, but neither is “sweatshop” work.
