It'll help me out especially as I'm bored of being stuck at home. Hearing back from another job tomorrow as well.

[fohfoh]

Not with those CVs I'm afraid. Just a retail job for now as I have nada money.

Honest work is honorable work, no matter what it is.  Congrats!

GL in retail. Some people just like acting like assholes to retail workers.

Not gonna argue, relative to a great many other jobs, retail sucks no matter where you work.  I left those days behind, hopefully forever, in 1995.

I work in retail.  New manager wants us to wallet rape everyone that comes in.  I don't feel comfortable doing that... 

So, I'm quitting after I find a new job.

(Pretty much, I was hired as a cashier for the school season, and now that it's over, they're trying to put me on sales floor when I've stated plenty of times I'd rather work in the printing department.  So time to look for somewhere else.)

I remember doing retail once upon a time... all I remember is pulling things even on the shelves. It's back breaking work doing the lower two shelves unless you want to be on your knees doing them.

Taking lunch breaks where the best. The plastic chairs were so god damn uncomfortable. Then again, I stand up all day for work... it sucks. Anyways...

It's raining like crazy here!

Yay for sub zero temperatures!

I used to work retail for no commission. Didn't help the clothes we sold were considered, "Cheap". You'd spend like 15-20 mins folding clothes to have some (unfortunately, it's stereotype time) fucking woman mess up like 10 piles of them in 30 seconds "just browsing".

A lot of men (Surprisingly) attempt to fold what they take. Or, they just play with the top article of clothing, which is usually somewhat ruffled (either in a clump, or a clumsy fold) by a prior guy and only attempt to dig in once they deem it's even worth a purchase consideration.

Men will walk to the change rooms with as few articles of clothing as possible. Usually 1, maybe 2 at most if they want to compare or consider the look of clothing in conjunction to each other. (ie: Shirt to pants)
Men love trying on jackets. They don't have to go to the change room. Men hate trying on pants.

Women at times will go to a change room with up to 3 of the same article of clothing. "I think I'm a medium, but I'll try a small and a large too, just in case." For a creature who lives off how they look, you'd think they'd understand their body more. Men choose based on 3 criteria (for t-shirts anyways). 1. Do I need extra room? 2. Do I want it just right? 3. Do I want it to show off my muscles?

Men will stand in a single location staring at an article of clothing for minutes on end, truly concentrated on a purchase decision. Women either run up and start playing with the clothing, or they'll loiter. They'll walk random rounds and pass by an article of clothing like 3-5 times just pretending to look at other stuff. They either attack viciously or have issues with committing to the article of clothing.

Many women are excited to speak about their purchase to you when you ring their total up. Many men act as if they want to hide in a hole as soon as they pay for the clothes.

Just a little bit of my personal experience when working retail. But not all retail jobs are created equal.

Oh yeah... The manager never seems to want to ever be seen on the floor. They always try to find a reason to hide in an office or go somewhere else if at all possible.

@Shabutie
I know the feeling, I quited 2 jobs that demanded that same thing, I am working in retail as well and we are there for customers if they need us, easy to find us really. "Wallet raping" is bad for relations with customers, you might sell a lot once but the customer is likely to go to another place next time.

Screw you, why don't we have them yet?

The accuracy of your observations astounds me at times.

Sigh, well anyone who was thinking of coming to japan can now think again.

The deportation rate is going to escalate to 90% even the illegal people who were probably minding their own business are going to be hunted down, it has now practically turned into a witch hunt.

The legit people are now 90% times more likely to get deported because the new rules practically make it impossible to comply to the new guidelines unless you're living next to the damn immigration office.

I honestly have no fucking clue what the fuck is going on now, what i'm concerned of now is when is the shit going to hit the fan.

[Havoc10K]

Awesome Meo!
I'll grab the torches, you grab the forks !

So your saying it's really hard to legally go to Japan and live there?

Yes, even the people who could bypass the work visa issue cause they had someone to provide for them are going to get fire under their ass real soon, i honestly hope this doesn't become egypt 2.0

If you had a worker's visa... how long can you work there for until you get a permanent residence (for future reference for myself... I wanna live in Kyoto).

I thought everyone got the memo that you have to stay here 10 years to apply for permanent residency, now if you have a workers visa and you do not prove to immigration in time that you are actually working didn't get the job on time / got suspended / accident you must get out.

10 YEARS? Well, at least I know where I'm going to be spending most of my 30's .
