i dont got alot of experience so that why im doing it

I've never been so miserable as when I was at Safeway. The work was actually really easy and the next job I took, at an indie bookstore, was a lot more stressful. But just being in that environment made the world, and my life, seem a lot bleaker.

My advice to you is, apply everywhere around town. Every store, restaurant, government program, carpentry company, whatever. And then as soon as you get another job, quit. Even if the Safeway job is easier, if you're like me it'll make you more unhappy and will sabotage your self-confidence. Fuck Safeway.

A couple questions:
What's your education level?
How dependent are you on this job for your own survival?

What was so bleak about Safeway? I've worked retail, but it was for stuff like hardware shops. While boring I never found it particularly depressing.

The environment made me feel like I was a loser for even being there. The turnover rate there was insane, and a lot of the other employees were about a step away from homelessness, or were there for sort of emergency situations (i.e. a guy who moved to my town for a carpentry job, but the company folded right before he arrived, so he needed the money; a girl who moved out here after grad school with no plan, etc.). It was truly a thing of everybody was in a tough situation, and everybody knew it. And a couple kids I'd gone to school with showed up at the store and kind of looked down their noses at me.

It's the type of thing that only affects you if you work in places like Safeway, or McDonald's, or other such places. Other types of low level jobs don't carry the same connotations. After I held that job, again, I was working near minimum wage at a bookstore for months and I loved it. I also worked at a pizza place, which was fine. Working at a hardware store, even a Best Buy, would've been a huge upgrade from that.

When I said hardware I meant stuff like Home Depot. Maybe that was a major difference though, I never saw my peers from highschool there since few of them would ever go to a place like that.
