Hard to pinpoint one specific thing, but I'd say a good way to put it is being treated as a disposable asset (which you really are). Leave at 9PM one night and show up at 5AM the next morning. Managers tend to power trip and boss you around to unreasonable degrees. The times that I wasn't slacking off and actually putting in the effort felt no different to when I wasn't. Managers will still demand you to do more, there's always something to be done. You can go faster. Coworker didn't show up for a shift? Too bad, do their job and don't complain. I unloaded the truck, and the general manager would be on our asses to finish the whole thing in impossibly short time spans. Freezing cold during the winter to where your fingers and toes are numb. No gloves are given to you, that would be too considerate. Customers are often times assholes for no reason aside from having a shitty day themselves. Busy and understaffed days meant that you couldn't even have a break, which I'm sure is illegal. Compound this for eight hours and you see where I'm getting at. I know this may come off as bitching, but that's just my take on the situation. I would imagine it's similar to the same soul-crushing monotony you get at retail, stocking shelves for half of your time a day being conscious.
