Worked at Rite Aid for about a year and a half. Hated it.
Worked my !*% off while others sat around. Lame !*% pay
Upgraded to an internship/student job at an office and it's

Better pay, less work, and I get to choose my hours.

While its obviously got downs, what job doesnt? I couldnt sit at a desk/cubicle so I love being able to talk to people and move and have some variation. Itjust depends what company your with and your title.

Well I guess Im one, but I raise two kids, got a wife and live very nicely. I think the key is to find a company that you enjoy the products. If you like carswork at AutoZone, if you like shoes work at a shoe store, movies, then a movie theater or Blockbuster. Just remember any job retail or not, its what YOU makeof it. Every job sucks in some way, its a job, but you gotta make it fun and enjoyable. Nobody likes to be around the "this job sucks I hate it"people.

I dont know where you work, but its made to give you a weekend night off. If you close Friday night, you open Saturday morning so you can haveSaturday night off. Open Friday, close Saturday will give you a Friday night off.
I'm sure you'd be more upset if you had to close both nights, or open when you wanted to go out the night before.

WHy yal hate food service so much? I work as a server and love it. It is a private country club though so I don't really deal with the obnoxious people butthe tips are amazing compared to other minimum wage jobs out there. I recommend yal try it out. Start as a busser and move on as you get more comfortable.
