Aren't they embarrassed by this crap? We're talking about a cashier's job and stocking shelves.
ReplyDeleteIn this economy, we will one day wish we had such a "crappy" job.
ReplyDeleteTJs is an anomaly. Yes, these are crap jobs- low pay cashiering and stocking. However, they pay a bit higher than typical jobs in this category. The fallacy with TJs is the notion that you can move up. You can't, really. As a national chain, the upper management is already chosen, leaving 99% of the workers as "part time" (read: 35 hours a week) employees.
ReplyDeleteAll of this for $11 an hour. Yay.
You learn a lot of good things in a job like this -- how to deal with the public, business skills, how to get to work on time and deal with your supervisor, etc. Not saying these are jobs for experienced, highly skilled workers. But a good place to start if you're interested in retail.
ReplyDeletethank you for doing this...I've been looking since March and it's been tough.
