20 Horrific Secrets You'll Discover If You Work In Retail

7. You'll Sometimes Have No Idea What You're Doing

There will be times when your manager will ask you to do something and because you don't want to look silly or ask a stupid question, you'll agree to it without actually knowing what it is they want you to do. You'll use this opportunity to show them that you're a hard worker and you're able to multitask whilst generating fantastic results so you do what you think they want you to do, and hope for the best. You'll ask your colleagues for advice and you'll work together to do what you think is expected of you and when your manager comes back after an hour and is baffled as to why you've merchandised the wrong wall, you're going to look silly. If in doubt, just ask even if it does damage your ego.
