They were all older than me and were on the job much longer than me, but they kept making me do everything and sort of felt like they were throwing me the "hot potato" when it came to all the difficult work just because I was new there. Hated it, and that was my very first job too, so it made me scared to get another job because I figured every work place was probably like that.
Making mistakes at a job happens pretty often I would assume, if you're pretty new. It just goes to show you the lack of training they gave you, which is their fault. If you aren't totally confident in what you're doing, the training wasn't good enough.

Yeah, training leaves some things to be desired there. I'm sorry you had that experience. This isn't going to be very encouraging and please keep in mind that my opinion is biased but…yeah pretty much all jobs seem to be like that. Slightly different BS but BS all the same. It just never ends.

In the perfect world I would quit but I really can't because I need the money. They can't fire me but at this point it would be a relief. They can't really fire me now but I guess it could happen. At this point, there is no other option besides sit there and deal with it so I'm basically just venting.
Even if you were horrible at your job (which doesn't sound like the case), your coworkers and customers shouldn't treat you abusively. You don't deserve to be lambasted. Working conditions like this can really ruin your self-esteem and take a long time to get over.

People make mistakes. It's life. It's what happens at work. If someone makes the same mistake over and over, there's a problem with the way the task is structured.

I hope you can find some other part time job or a way to replace that income without having to suffer so much.
