I don't know if that's really the case. When I worked retail I mostly really liked chatting with customers.
- polygamous_bat 3y agoI seem to have seen the opposite recently, possibly because the cost of living has gone up significantly faster than the wages for low-end jobs.
- rc5150 3y agoI too worked retail and dreaded having another interaction of forced/fake pleasantries, pretending to give a damn about what the customer wanted. Give me a digitized interaction or give me death.
- pnathan 3y agoI worked retail many years ago. I found the required fake cheer rather horrid. I was good at it, and every now and then I'd have an interesting chat. But I prioritized moving people through _fast_, because they didn't come to chat with me, they came to buy their stuff.
- Kye 3y agoIt might depend on the store. I used to get stuck behind cashiers and customers who obviously knew each other and would get into long conversations while I stood there waiting.
