      Feel like the average retail worker does not experience that though

      Average food service is probably way more intense than average retail

      Edit: actually, I’m Canadian so the average American retail worker probably does have a way worse experience than up here, I’m so sorry💀

        I’ve never been shot at but knives are common as is people shoving you out of the way for liquor.

      I’m not competing, sorry if it came off that way! I mean this for me obviously, I’m comparing my experience with my experience. They’re both shit but oh my god I will take going back to retail over food service, I genuinely think I would do something to myself.

      …I did not like food service

      I have been physically assaulted and shot at working retail.

      I’ve worked a convenience store during late shift for a few years. That shit happened to me to and also happened outside in the parking lot. You just have to keep going, remembering why that window was replaced. Again. And remembering details of the robbers for when a badge is flashed at you. Again. doomer
