I will never work a retail job again (didn't say I promise haha). They just didn't work for me at all. Everything from the hours to dealing with customers. I could last at most 2 years working at a retail job. Christmas at the mall was absolute hell for me as I hate crowds. Selling shoes did force me to improve the whole eye contact thing, had to sell $100 a hour of shoes just to make draw. That forced me to talk to people and look them in the eye, I actually got commission for probably 8 out of the 10 months I worked there. I just can't stand people and the manager always scheduled me during times when I had classes. Fucker had my class schedule and he kept doing it. I hate people.
