Not what I should be
Maybe I jumped in to soon or maybe I’m overthinking it all again, but maybe I should have stayed away from going back to 7 Eleven.
Don’t get me wrong, when I ran the store it was still a mess, just not this bad. WTF did they do to my store. What a cluster I’ve walked into. I can’t sit on my hands and just do, but I can’t step up and piss on people’s Cheerios.
The manager left today for a 2 week vacation. I ve been back 2 days and today doesn’t really count.
There’s already an assistant there, who has been handling things. I should just go with the flow, but it’s going to drive me nuts..
I want someone to talk to about this that is a little more reassuring than him, sorry had to say it. I don’t know him, but it’s not like my jobs in the line with him either.
I guess I expected more from the manager given her background up until now, but I also didn’t think they would take my store and run it in such a way for 5 months that it looks like shit. I gave up a lot to turn it around and they just trashed the fuck out of it and burnt me down along with it.
Now all I can do is dwell and I have nothing to escape to.
The fact that they trashed the store in 5 months just goes to show what a crappy outfit it is. You are slowly opening your eyes to retail hell, and i can say this because I worked a decade of retail in my 40s before escaping. Retail people are broken, sad people and they will pull you down in the hole with them and keep you there if you let them. They feed off each other’s misfortunes. You may have been broken by life’s circumstances, but you are slowly putting yourself back together. Just keep reminding yourself that working at 7/11 is temporary, you have nothing to prove because you are better than that shit. Do the job for the $ until you find that better job that isn’t convenience stores. You can do it.
