this is a rant about retail and my current situation

This isn't the worst job..I'm also studying health science, so I'm part time. But too part time, I'd like a few more hours, I can only do this if I found somewhere closer, as in walking distance because of how BAD public transport is here. My workplace is 10 minute drive away max (I've had to get a taxi before because of buses not showing up)

I HAVE to leave an HOUR AND A HALF to get to work and back or else my manager gets pissy about me being late. (I get this, I wouldn't wanna be the one waiting for me to turn up so I can leave shift). It's infuriating cos it's our of my control.

Those are hours I could put into another job and not spend money on travel too. Money is tight atm which adds to the stress. This is time I could have studying, and time I could have with family.

I just can't count the amount of times I've came home from a shift and wanted to shoot myself in the skull or something after, it's like sometimes now I see customers off shift and they will give me bad looks when I'm just doing shopping.

I don't have experience in anything else and I am feeling so trapped.

At the moment I'm reallllyy sick of being blamed for the store's tech especially the tils that practically sabotage the workers. Hell, sometimes the payments don't go through and we don't even touch anything. It just declines or doesn't read the card and the customer will BLAME US?

And to the customers complaining I'm unfriendly and rude because I can't bring myself to smile after standing for 4 hours out of a 7 hour shift FUCK OFF I'm already fatigued enough! We don't get to sit!

ALSO... the HOURS? I have absolutely no routine. It's not the worst it could be but that's only because of my 12 hrs a week. But I never know which days I'll work which times. And it's always late until 10pm, I'm never home until after 11pm.

I really want something where I can actually work through the day I feel so out of the loop with everyone
