I'm just venting is all. Just a warning that first off.
So about three month's ago i went back into a c-store/retail job. It is what i like to do and it sounded like a good job at the time. 40 hours, travel between three different stores depending on which one needed my help. But then about a month ago my feelings changed. Here is why:
Store 1 (home store that the Owner's office is at)
  • No schedule because everyone works the same schedule every week.
  • Over staffed so when i go there to get my hours for the week i'm left at the register so everyone else can visit with those they know who come there to eat and have coffee.
  • The owner, his wife, and kids are always around because they all work here.
  • Waiting until i get one of the daggers the staff stab's each other in the back with for my very own.

Store 2 (one i've spent most time at)
  • The good is the manager makes out the schedule a month at a time
  • But because of the month schedule I never know if who is listed is who i will be working with
  • Of the 10 employees, including me, I'm only one not related to manager by blood or marriage.
  • Staff makes their own schedule by leaving when i come in to cover a shift because they are either hung over, tired, or have something better to do.
  • Half hour drive one way to get to this store, ya some of you are saying so what. I hate driving by myself because i've fallen asleep before while driving.
  • Revolving door of staff not related to manager.

Store 3
Nothing to say since i've yet to work here.

I don't want to quit because i've only been there for 3 months. Just is not what i was given the impression it would be.

Hmmm, three months is a long enough time, I think, to figure out if a job is a good fit or not. I would maybe start looking for other jobs, but don't leave until you find a new one. I'm just in favor of not sticking in a position that doesn't fit you really well unless you absolutely have to. I know not every job is going to be your dream job, but you should at least feel comfortable in your position. The situation you described sounds somewhat precarious because there's so much nepotism going on.

Just my two cents.
