my worst job would probably have to be while i worked at Bath and Body works.
I hated the on-call shifts. For example let say that on tuesday i was on call from 7-10pm. At 6pm i would have to call in and say "yeah, i have an on call shift tonight, do you need me to come in?" then they would check how busy they were and how many people they had scheduled to work and then they would either say "no, we dont need you" or "yeah, come on in!". It was a pain because like on weekends you couldnt really plan on going out or not because you didnt know if you were going to have to go in to work or not.
Plus, most of the time we werent that busy, except christmas time- so the manager would be the one to work the register and everyone else, which would really only be one other person, would have to restock the entire store. That was annoying because the store is long not wide, so pushing the little cart full of lotions and shower gels around the store was hard. I also had to carry around my little ladder so i could reach the top shelves.
About twice a month we would have to stay until about 1am on a saturday to redecorate and take out new items. I hated this the most. My boss was so rude and so when she gave me the picture of how everything was supposed to look, i carefully arranged everything so it could look perfect. Once i was done i told her to come check it, since she had, and when she got there she told me that since our store is totally opposite from most, i had to turn everything around and what was supposed to be on the left needed to go on the right hand side and etc. I was so mad at her for not telling me in the first place!
The worst thing of all was that when i finally got my other job, where im at now- i told them i couldnt come in to work on monday (because i would be training at the other place) they got mad at me since they knew it was probably for another job. I had already put in my two week notice and so they told me i couldnt apply to any other store in their company like express and structure. Isnt that ridiculous?? Anyway on the paper i had to sign, i explained exactly what happened and that i didnt think that was fair. Hopefully i wont have to work in retail again though- unless i want to!
