It's pretty common knowledge retail is a nightmare, and it's not a coincidence it has more jobs to fill than any other industry

Obviously there's favoritism within the company, and people are constantly talking shit about one another.

I work at a store near Chicago and the customers are fucking horrendous. You're basically paid $10 an hour to be treated like a second class citizen.

The hours are long, and there's a "feedback" system where essentially they tell you what you did wrong in a lame attempt to be passive aggressive. After a week of working you're pretty much expected to know the store inside and out.

I have more if anyone's interested.

Okay, sounds good. I've been there around 1.5 years and they just started offering to develop me into a higher paying position at another store, but due to year round classes and transferring to uni soon I wasn't able to oblige. As did other employees.

Every manager save for a select few gave me shit for it. They all said unprofessional things, which isn't a big deal, but honestly come on. I don't want to work in fucking retail forever, which is the choice they've made.

Theft is a huge problem and the amount of minorities who shop at H&M bump that number up ten fold. I'm not racist by any stretch of the word, but it's just fact. In back of house there's a bulletin board with about 50 pictures of shoplifters who are all minorities, although there's a few whites here and there.

We've had mothers get into fist fights because they were under the impression someone cut them in line, and the black people are rude as fuck. Although some of the older black people are very sweet.

Nothing gets done because everyone wants to do what they think is best and we never work towards a common goal. You can get written up (documented) for practically anything.

We have a store here in Sweden, it's basically like Walmart. Their policy is that the staff has to work out 3 times a week and not smoke, out of "healthy aspects".

You walk in, all the workers are 10/10 blonde people. It's impossible to not go inside and get a massive boner and you know it's wrong because everyone in there were only hired base of looks. I'd say 90% of the workers are dumb as fuck, but they could all be models. Most of them quit after a month, since if they don't come there with make up and 10/10 fixed hair. They are yelled at. Also, you get fired if you call in sick.

Was in New York for holidays to shop.
Every store "Hello, Welcome to ... How are you?"
Know now they don't really care but have to say it due to policy, I didn't know that then. so I went "I'm fine, How are you?"
The face of the staff when someone answered their question. It was like God's light shine upon them for being noticed and given hope for their other crushed dreams in the big city.

In store, they got 3 cashiers. The line is about 7 people. One customer is complaining to one of the cashiers, the other 2 cashiers starts to help even though there is a line with waiting customers. Took half an hour for 5 people to pay their shit cause they were arguing and 2 customers left the line.

At first it might seem like it's worth it, but truly if its just a job you need while in school or something it's probably not worth it. I can't speak for many other stores, but you'll come to find yourself really jaded in terms of how people behave in the real world. The hours are long (1-10,2-10,10-7,9-6) for most employees but they give you an hour break and a 15 minute break as well.

Right when they hire you, you're treated like this is your career. But I'll admit, there's three interviews you go through prior to being hired so when you do get hired, you feel pretty awesome, since the job is hard to secure.

Not sure about the last part anymore though, since we've hired some serious retards with no experience over the past couple weeks. (Requirement used to be 4-6 months of retail experience.)

Do you by any chance know if getting tanned helps with this? I mean, you're not frying your acne/pimples, so it shouldn't make your face worse, right? I figured I might have a go at it since it's Summer and all: to see if I could get my face the same color all around.

It's really sad when you think about it. I mean, you can't really socialize with people you don't know so well because they tend to hold back. And even if it your good friends, most of them fucking NEED that alcohol to "make it more fun" -- essentially, they want to make the gathering bearable.

How old do you look? You should look like 20+ (hair, clothes, skin, just don't go autism) to work in retail or just be female. Actual age doesn't matter as long as you are allowed to work in general. But try anyways and if they don't want you ask them kindly for some honest feedback as to why. Will help you A LOT in the future.
You could also try logistics there if they don't want to hire you for retail (if a spot is open ofc).
It's heavy on the body but you can make a workout out of it if you know how. Pay is usually decent for a job you're not doing for more than a while.

You're clapping at the joy of a jointly felt experience. Sure, outwardly everyone seems like they're praising the projectionist or something but the subtext of it is about the joy of sharing the American experience. We may not produce all that much anymore, but we export entertainment and culture in ceaseless torrents (literally&figuratively, I'm sure) and its a fair portion of what gives us our massive weight in the world today.
Ameribros clap to let each other know that "Yes! I too cried when you cried, and laughed when you laughed." It's part of why we go to the theater in the first place as opposed to just downloading everything from Bulgarian servers. Sure, big screens are great, but sharing the experience with your fellow Americans puts a special energy in the air.
Apart from all that, it's a mildly accurate signifier of a certain level of class & education. Not every audience will clap, but you can usually expect some clapping in middle-lower income areas. In my opinion, more atomized audiences will not clap, no matter how good the damn film was.

Being American is a pretty monolithic thing. I don't think nationalism enters the picture, tbh. Sure, America is a nation, but it's also a way of life, centered around consumption and media. The movie theater is arguably a sacred place. These beautiful dreams are our sermons, and we clap in shared appreciation. It's glorious. Join us.

Yeah, between 20-64 you won't get free healthcare anymore, unless you come up to a certain sum per year, then it's free again. But as long as you are 0-20, 65 and up, you get free healthcare.
School is always free no matter what age you are.
