I understand what it’s like being sensitive, feeling vibes etc and getting stressed out. I’d say working on managing that might help you. Honestly these days I let a lot go, I kind of switch off if that makes sense, and believe me I’ve worked with some challenging colleagues. There have been days when I’ve been focused on my pay cheque - or something nice I’m going to do later in the week, retail can be a slog especially at this time of year.

I wouldn’t worry about Black Friday, I’d agree that’s almost certainly because you’re not fully trained up yet - I’d count my blessings!
I try not to let things get to me, but it’s not something that I have complete control over unfortunately.

I felt like my coworkers were passing me around as they didn’t want to train me.

It was frustrating. And on top of that I had to deal with that rude coworker whi made the fat shaming comment.

It was obvious that she wanted me to say something about how skinny she is as she kept trlling me she’s petite.

And it was obvious she thought it was funny to call the plus sized section the big momma section. She repeated that numerous times with customers around us.

I couldn’t believe how rude & unprofessional she was.

I hate this job. Fortunately the customers are understanding.

I feel that some people are being deliberately rude & annoying. One lady kept touching me. I was looked at funny by two women. They rudely looked at my body in front of me.

I feel like quitting already.
