This is kind of a weird thing, I like my job for the most part. I like the store I work at, I like the people I work with, but it's not like being a cashier is my passion in life. I like it for right now, but ultimately it can actually be stressful. I know there are far more stressful jobs out there obviously but its more stressful than Gweneth Paltrow's life. So I can complain, I'm not complaining but I have permission to.
Anyhoo when we have sales it gets slightly more stressful. Most of the customers are nicer and happy about the sales, but at the same time people get angry. Plus there's the added stress of people bringing up like 50 items of clothes, asking the price of everything and then only taking one of those things and leaving the rest by the cash rack for me to put back... its just a tad more stressful and I tend to get actual nightmares about working when that happens.
So anyway I had a dream that this woman was buying a bunch of stuff that wasn't ringing up on sale and a bunch of stuff that was too, but she was getting angry about it and complaining. So I went to see a manager and then when I came back she said "No its taking too long" and she just took the whole bag of stuff and left the store. And I was like "wait you have to pay for that" and she was like "no you take to long" and I woke up after that.
And this is weird because it's not like this is something that's ever really happened. I don't think this situation would ever happen, its a little ridiculous. It was super realistic in the dream, but its not something I think would ever happen like that in real life. There are grumpy people that I've waited on in real life, but no one that would complain about everything and then steal all the clothes. It was just bizarre and frightening.
I guess its kind of a good type of dream to have when you work in retail. Prepare for the absolute worst because nothing that bad will happen ever very likely. That goes for any job or real life situation I suppose, but yeah. Just something you should know.
So that's about it. Really weird dream, I don't get too many dreams like that just when the store gets busy I guess I get worried. Lol. Strange, but these are real worries of people working in retail. Dealing with angry customers and trying to be nice to them is a big issue and shoplifting is obviously a big issue too! If you're thinking of going into retail, just keep those things in mind and if you can deal with them you can deal with anything! Other than that its pretty fun and a good way to make some money.
I've also had school dreams that were stressful test type of situations that were all really weird. Do not like these dreams. Those dreams are far worse! Maybe I'll talk about them sometime, but I think I've blocked those from my brain. Lol.
Byeee!
