can go a long way toward making a job you’re not crazy about manageable and the hours you’re there go faster. If they prefer you to wear Chico’s clothes that they are selling now, that’s likely why you get such a good discount. Can you use your 65% employee discount on clothes that are already on sale/clearance? I know that you enjoy shopping, so try to focus on that benefit.
As for why so many job listings require customer service experience, well, the US economy is largely a service economy.
In 2021, the services sector contributed around 77.6 percent to the GDP of the United States and 107.8 million people (71% of all nonfarm payroll employees) worked private service-providing industries. So, it’s good that you are getting some customer service experience.
To me, by far, the worst thing is the lack of a set schedule. Unfortunately, I hear that’s pretty common for part time jobs.
Keep that open mind and concentrate on acquiring some new clothes while on this job. You never know; by the time you’re ready to leave this job, you might also have gained a new friend or two.
Good luck, Vicky. After a few shifts, you’ll feel like you’ve been there much longer. It won’t feel so new and unknown anymore.
