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

18. You'll Spend A Large Chunk Of Your Wages In Store

Regardless of which area of retail you work in, it's sort of guaranteed that you'll spend a lot of your wages in your store. You're surrounded by products that you don't even need and wouldn't necessarily buy, but because you've passed them twenty times in the last hour then you're convinced that you need them. If you work in a food store then you'll probably end up buying lunch there five times a week and it's even worse when you're not a fan of the company that you're working for. Not only do you spend all of your time working for a corporate machine who is churning out profits and paying you minimum wage, you're helping their figures by being unable to resist the products.
