I work at Best & Less and I'm hoping it gets better, because I hate it! So far I've had 4 shifts, which had me folding singlets and boy's undies. It's the most boring work, and really disheartening to see a customer muck it all up and know you have to stay late to fix it again, or the manager will go mental.
Yesterday I was meant to have a 6 hr shift as the 'store greeter'. Luckily it was fairly quiet, so the manager let me go early. Without a doubt, that was the worst 4 hours of my life. I felt like an absolute idiot standing there. It's just so monotonous repeating "Hi, how are you?" and "See you later!" to customers' retreating backs, trying to keep a cheery tone and phoney smile.
Does anyone else work at B&L? How long did it take you to get on the registers or on lay-by? Because if this is all I'm gonna be doing for the next year, I'm finding something else.

I thought so too, but it's really, really not. People ignore you, give you the cursory once-over and look down on you. There were only 5 people who actually replied to me in the whole shift.
