I worked in a supermarket from 17 to 20 years of age. I didn't like the work that much, but I met a lot of people and had many friends. I'm in my fifties now, and I'd never return to that. . It is a revolving door. People come and go.During the eighties, supermarkets were then becoming places that were not career paths. Part time shifts became the priority,rather than full time. It's a waste of time.

Yepp, retail is hell. Favouritism and nepotism run rife & if you're sleeping with management, bonus points for you! I can't wait to leave!

Worked for 3 different grocery chains in the span of about 30 years, in the grocery dept stocking shelves (dry goods, dairy, frozen food). It's hard work

You will be eligible for rental assistance once you're on the pension.

I worked at a supermarket for a few months, and I did not last long. I didn't like it for the following reasons. They were inconsistent with your shift hours. IE you would be the late-night cashier (7pm-11pm or close.) the night before then you would have to do work morning shift (6am-1pm) the next day. This made it hard to plan your doctor visits and other business. You had to wait for someone to relieve you for your break and somebody might not show up. One time I came in to work and did not get a break until one hour before I was off! To make things better they should hire you for First shift or second shift and those are the hours set for you. It would make it easier to plan your life if your schedule was consistent. One more thing, In USA you don't get a stool or seat of any kind when a cashier. You are on your feet the whole time. I was not much fun for my husband when I got home.

here ya go: 1. no friends? people=shit so 2. retirement? work SUUUUUCKS so 3. ftw

You don't have to live in a tent, buy a van... Seriously though, you have no income, i.e zero reason to live in an expensive area/city center. Move to a small town, and buy a van in case you ever become homeless. You have room to maneuver here, you're going to be fine. Cash out what you need from your remaining 120k, buy some Intel stock. It's going to be ok, you have more than you need and don't have to work again if you live within your means.

My plan is to self delete at 60 for "retirement".... So you got 4 extra years, what's to complain about? 😁👍

U r awesome! Such an inspiration!

You can pay your bills working 20 hours at minimum wage in Australia? In the US, you would need to work 90 hours a week at 3 jobs on minimum wage to scrape by.

I probably would not have lasted even one hour in that temperature and would have walked off the job! No amount of money is worth that.

I worked at Sainsbury's for three weeks just before I left UK. It was awful. Soul destroying, depressing and terrible money. Left to teach ESL abroad. Never looked back.

It's funny listening to boomers wonder why younger generations struggle to get a job, thinking job security should be great because they managed to spend most their working years with one company. Must have been great.

I’m sorry you had to go Thais mate. I’m starting to see this shit here in the U.K. .. been rejected by 2 companies this week as I’m 59 they take one look at you and they judge you straight away.

Just saw a KFC video in the midst of this video . Btw I am female. I bet you have quite a few others. Am in my 50s so I can relate.

Call centre work is shelf stacking for your tongue and mouth. I found it mentally frazzling ( highly repetitive and rarely interesting ) but physically brilliant... sitting in an office all day is rarely taxing in any way

You were a bit light on details there but on the face of it you could sue them for wages up until the point you are fully employed again. Especially so if you got an offer in writing. Not your problem if their employee is making job offers on their behalf without the authority to do so.

Live and learn. The key is to keep trying different things till something clicks.

Sounds like a place where colds, viruses and other sickness like COVID could spread easily unless someone was wiping down the phones and PC each day. But would the company care about call center staff’s health?

Good for you. Show the youngsters what you can do 😂

Give me a position in a supermarket in 2024 and I will have it right off. Yes I have worked in one before.

I clicked on this video wanting to hear a tail of woe. and what I got was a level headed man talking calmly about his workplace experience.

You deserve this success! Cheering you on.🎉

Congratulations. Well deserved. Thank you for sharing your wisdom and experiences. 🎉👍

Congrats!🎉 You are soft spoken and calm. A nice change from the hyped channels out there. I will check out your grocery store video. Just block the mean comments.

I'm the small percentage woman subscriber. I subscribe to utube channels with meatier content, such as commentary on the Ukraine war and Russians doing street interviews. Animal rescue is also there. Its rare I find an Australian channel I like, even though I'm aussie, but I relate to the era often talked about and find the gentle thoughtful presentation easy to listen to.

Congrats! For a man that comes across quiet and reserved , the video opening was some party!

Congratulations

Cartel's are hiring probably, ya?

Congratulations... keep going.

If you lost $ in this market since covid, maybe age isn't your problem... Both of the recent crashes were predicted weeks/months in advance. You bought high, even worse than selling low. If you get any more $ to play with, invest in Intel before the stock hits over $25, an easy 5 year 100% return.

Well deserved! The content is something many of us can relate to. Looking forward to celebrating your 10k subs milestone.

Great work fella, congratulations 🎉. RUclips in general has predominantly male viewers, this is nothing unusual and common across many/all channels. Women predominantly watch TikTok/Facebook. Supermarket work is exceptionally common and hence resonates with the masses. Just like why this channel is taking off in comparison with your dog channel. The jobs market is horrendous and 'trending' on YT as it's so relatable. Great stuff, keep it up, looking forward to many more.

The world is literally going shit .. and there bringing people from shitty shitty places , wow I wonder how this is going to turn out ..never sell your home ! Even if this crashes the corporations will swoop in buy up and control market

To all the young people....ageism is real. Be so good at your skill they can't get rid of you otherwise start a side hustle that is scalable so if you do get laid off you can turn your side hustle into a full time job. Another option is to invest wisely be it real estate and/or stocks/etf. If you have FU money then ageism is no longer an issue.

Congrats! Well done. I really like your videos. Maybe if you could share some more stories or experiences you've had working or some personal achievements in your earlier life 😊

I had a Microsoft 365 ambassador job June this year. Fully remote. I lasted 6 days which was part of a 4 week training before I go live. The metrics was insane and simply unachievable to my estimate. Never will accept that type of work again.

Yeah, that's gotta be the biggest black pill working at entry level jobs in low brain power fields, all the "procedures" that are never properly documented... At this point it seems like they do it on purpose, wouldn't want people who can actually read to figure things out too quickly 😆👍

Useful detailed tips

I worked for an orange big box hardware store part-time after my retirement I couldn’t believe how horrible the management were to these poor employees that were barely getting by with minimum wage and 25 cent raises- unrealistic expectations of employees calling in sick can get you fired on the spot

I worked in my local Morrison's once for six months. I've had many, many jobs since I left school - farm work, clerical work, shop work, manual labouring, driving, care work - and this was, without doubt, one of the worst experiences. It was like a slave camp. Push-push-push. Things like unloading, stock checks, counts which all had to be done by a certain time, or you got it in the neck. We were often, too, using sub-standard hand-helds which kept going offline or losing battery power. We didn't get paid extra if we ran over on our shift, too - and we had to clock out at the right time. So there was all that pressure - plus the inevitable daily calls to go to checkouts at busy periods. We had no choice but to either work at double-pace or cut corners and use guess work. By comparison, working back in care again - as I now am - is a relief!

Good luck sir,we lived in Brisbane in the early 2000's great city,but far too expensive for us now😮

Men also wore long socks with dress shorts. Political correctness didn't exist. Unless you worked in a blue collar environment there wasn't porn.

Bullying is rife in big supermarkets because of the targets and high staff turnover. It's a last option type job to take.

It’s the same here in UK, do as as told or your out💩

😂😂😂

Drive Uber you make $400 a day and you dont have a boss and dont have to be nice to anyone...

I would have loved to have been in the room when you gave that woman what for. I'm really enjoying these videos. It's giving me an insight into what these jobs would be like.
