There is no part of this diatribe that is not amazing or 100% true.

I was literally THE WORST when doing part time retail. Why? Because it is thankless damn work. Your every limit is tested, from your physical stamina to your mathematic prowess (or lack of, in my case) to your ability to swallow down endless vitriol from customers. As soon as you show the slightest ability to handle your workload, you’re tasked with even more menial jobs to fill your day.

Anyone who works a public-facing role such as retail or call centres, please know that you have my unending respect. Doing that day in day out is adulting to the extreme, and will shape you into the kind of patient, shit-owning human being the world needs.
