Now I am going to tell you the REAL reason why Retail Sucks...
I don't care what you do in retail; you are working
much harder and longer for less pay than any other
industry on this planet. I'm sorry but it's painfully true.
The hard truth is than all Retail related jobs just SUCK
when it comes to pay. They will burn you out and milk
you dry if you let them.
In retail you will notice right away that you cannot
even SIT DOWN to do work that any normal person
would sit down to do. In retail, they force you to stand

In Retail you are expected to work insane hours and
you will very often be asked to work through your
lunch break. If you "move up" in retail and become a
supervisor or assistant manager then you will find

basis and you'll also find that no matter how hard you
work to get ahead on the workload, the workload will
be adjusted higher so you'll never reach a resting

day... If you should reach that level by some miracle,
then they expect 60 boxes a day... And so it escalates
until you have a heart attack…
Let's say you get a busy day and your sales hit UK£10,000 a day for the store setting a new
sales level for that particular day of the year. Well, from now on they will expect UK£10,000
on every day afterwards and failure to EXCEED this sales goal means you are NOT doing
your job well enough...
You see where I'm going with this... No matter what you achieve, you’re just setting the bar
higher and making your life harder and harder. Many smart retail employees realize that the
