What Do You Like About Your Work?

Postby SajN » Jun 25th, '13, 16:53

I work at a grocery store.

First of all my collegues are all great. We always talk and have fun. There is no bad relationship between anyone. Everyone are friends. This also includes the boss. That's pretty much why I still haven't quit my job.

Our boss is also awesome. He always talk a lot (sometimes too much, lol). He is understandable and just wants his workers to have a good time at work. We of course have to do our job as well.

He had given me a shift one day, and I told him I couldn't because I had exams in few days and I had to read for it. He quickly apologized and tried finding someone else, but seeing as most of the workers are students, no one could replace me. He then told me that I could just come to work and read for my exam while getting paid for 8 hours. I didn't have to do other stuff, just read.

Obviously I didn't, because it's hard to concentrate on that when other stuff happens in the store... customers who need help, machines that needs a fix, etc.

Still, I like how he tries to find a solution like this. It isn't the first time either. I suddenly got kind of sick the day I was going to work, but no one can replace me in a short time, so he said the same thing again... just go to work and do nothing. Just relax, eat and drink on the store's expense. No need to pay yourself.
All this while I was getting paid.

Plus he often describes me as the best worker in the store :)


Other things I like about my work... many pretty girls coming in to buy stuff, and many of them are regulars :happy:

Yeah, I can see that being a problem. I've faced these problems many times before, but luckily the customers don't really scream at me or anything. I just act normal and say "aww shit, this isn't supposed to happen" or something like that, I explain the problem to them, and then they understand.

Once I had a customer complaining about something, and he was pretty mad when speaking to me. I kept my cool and explained him that I don't control the prices, I am just a worker here. It was something else too, but I don't remember what. Anyway, he understood me and calmed down and said "yeah, I know. You're just doing your job. It's okay. Thank you for your help. See you later"

The only perks about not working is being able to smoke more often

That's not exactly positive. "Hey, I don't have to work, so now I can smoke weed all the time". Yeah, that's a problem.

Sometimes I smoke the night before work. I wake up, drive to work. After my day has ended (11 PM), I go back home. And then I smoke again. It's nothing like this at work: "Ah, I need to smoke!!"

It pays money and it's fairly close by. That's about it.

All my bosses are hilarious. I'm a receptionist/secretary. I think I've told a few stories about them on here before.

I'm the cool boss at work, my staff love me. They're always willing to go the extra mile for me which is great.

The job itself is awesome too.

I deliver bread, pastries, and chips to markets like Albertsons, Wal-Mart, Target, ect. The job is physically demanding(well for me lol) I don't like it that's why I work little to no hours anymore especially when I back in school.

I love that sometimes you get to trade merchandise with other companies like Frito Lays, Budweiser, Coca Cola.

It pays the bills, I make my own schedule every week. I've gotten Sales Rep of the month, 2 months in a row, Got a big ass raise, and I have great relationships with my co-workers and management :y:

But I hate the line of work
