Are jobs in retail hard or stressful? ive saw on here people say how stocking is hard on your houbts and stuff and i applied to costco for stocking but will it be hard to learn since the only jobs ive had was changing oil in cars and trucks and weedeating some? will i be exhausted at the end of the day? how heavy are thibgs if they are bad on your joints?

Retail is the hardest you have to work for the least amount of pay anon, it's also soul sucking
go lay bricks

I've heard costco is pretty good pay. Stocking/stacking isn't the worst, but it does get tiring if you look at the clock too much. Good luck anon
Stocking shit is okay but I've began to harbor a genuine distaste for humans
its just lots of heavy lifting and lots of walking, if you can handle that youll be fine. if youre like me and get tired after 2 hours, prepare to absolutely hate every single thing existing
Seems to be pretty shitty in the states, anon.
I work retail but I've got some perks. $30/h, 5 weeks vacation, also 2 weeks unpaid if I want to, live in a rich white town where everyone is pleasant, good coworkers. flexible work hours as I work on the floor stocking/planning/ordering/yelling at my friend/sneaking off to surf the chans on the phone.
I would never work in the US, where the cashiers aren't allowed to sit down or where you're paid nothing for your time.

how heavy? at work now i get to do the lightweight stuff but i still get tired because its working with steel brake parts like pic related that weigh 120 pounds
and isnit hard to actually find where certain items go for the first time? or are stores real hard asses if you have trouble at all

at most you lift boxes of 30-40 pounds to your cart which you empty into the shelf. Mostly you will handle boxes that are around 10-20 pounds.
Yeah, it takes a little while before you learn the layout of the store, but one usually learns the approximate place of everything by picking up on the layout system, and finally you learn where everything is. Takes a week or two to pick up the speed required to be efficient.
