I find retail stores tend to be a bit more generous unless they're a very busy shop, they often have very veyr good markups on things, nutes etc have sell by dates, and they just sometimes need to move some stock, a 20% markup on a product may not be a 50% markup but it's better than no sale at all
That is how i work, i block out any external stimulus such as conversation or the internet etc and just crack on with my work, my output was probably close to double that of any other employee, but nope, i wasn't communicative enough and they didn't like that, they wanted someone that would stop for tea breaks and natter about relationships while not replying to emails, that kind of professionalism, not this slap dash hard working nonsense. Kinda glad to be out though, there were some rotten apples employed, just out for themseles, so now i've plenty of time to do whatever, seen a good job in a local deli which would be great, but also been offered £6 an hour to potter around the parents garden getting high and planting fruit and herbs etc, with playstation breaks with my brother when i feel like it. Sounds like it might be a plan.
