Looking at this picture, it makes me feel a little angry, considering I strongly dislike my job. Standing in that little space for hours at a time without being able to move drives me crazy, and this picture just reminds me of that. This picture reminds me of all the rude customers I get, who make me dislike my job even more. On a brighter note, this picture shows that I work for my money, even though it may be a pretty easy job, it's also annoying, but something I must deal with in order to earn a paycheck at the end of the week. I just have to keep telling myself that I won't be there forever.
Anna,
ReplyDeleteGreat job on this blog assignment posting a picture of your cashier's station at ShopRite. It is good to see it this way, the way you see it so that you motivate and keep yourself on the path to getting out of that confined space.
When I was a kid, I worked in an Acme supermarket and I stocked shelves and the cashiers were all women, a couple of years older. So the stock boys had crushes on the cashiers. For some reason there were no stock girls back then. I guess the heavy lifting was thought too masculine. The others who worked there were like independent contracts, the butchers, the pharmacist, the deli man, the baker. They kept to themselves. The butchers seemed odd and alien to me with their white smocks all blood smeared. The store manager watched us like a hawk and he was always yelling at us kids because we were always eating food from open packages.
I remember how happy I was quitting that job!
I would suggest that you find an image online of your "ideal" work space and post on top as the place to reach for.
