I'm only in highschool but I worked at Walgreens and let me tell you, it made me depressed again. Every task required of me was a big disaster. I had to work the buissy front register and I can't read numbers. I'd stare at the final amount due and try to come up with the words for it for a few seconds, finally mumble and spit it out, usually wrong. I'm bad with numbers, to me they are just like symbols I guess, when words are my real strong point. I also had to answer the main phone while at the only register dealing with anxious customers in line and people on the phone who didn't seem to realize I had to do all that. They'd call for the pharmacy, I'd tell them to hold while I told the pharmacy to pick up and if they didn't in about 60 seconds the'd just hang up and call again and re-explain everything in the same voice like there could really be anyone else working the phone one minute later. Some would do that 2 or 3 times in a row. If the phone malfunctioned, they would get mad at ME all while I was trying to tell the customer in front of me that the item was not on sale because this or that. This store also jackedup the prices from the suggested retail price because the place I live is more upscale. That is not fair, because I know a lot of people who most of their income goes to rent to live in this school district.
I also at the jovb had to help people find things and put up tags on the right product, and for that I had to match a code of 7 teeny tiny numbers to the sign. It was a disaster, I quit really quickly. I HATE customer service!!
*this is full of typos that I will fix later*
