Let's talk about retail worker abuse... If you have been following me for a while, you'll know that I also have a part-time supermarket job alongside my Silly Goose Digital work. I had originally picked a retail job as I have worked in retail before. I know that I can go to my job, do my job, and not bring it back home with me. Meaning, I can fully concentrate on my self-employed work in the week. But it's getting harder not to bring it home with me. The Retail Trust's shop worker survey found: → 9 in 10 retail workers have faced abuse at work. → 84% of these have been shouted at (been there). → 1/3 have been threatened with violence (I was once threatened that a girl was going to come back in and "beat me up" for refusing an alcohol sale). → 14% have been physically assaulted. On a daily basis we get called stupid and incompetent. Last Saturday, I had 5 different situations of being abused, one of which needed 2 other customers to step in and defend me. I have said this before, but there are MANY reasons why people work in retail & at supermarkets. → I work with people who have worked there for 20+ years. → I work with people who are students. → I work with people who have done other jobs in their life, and now want something different to the 9-5. → And in my situation, I own my business on the side. So when you walk into a store, please be considerate of the other person who's serving you. Consider their life, and what they may be going through. And show some kindness and respect that we seem to be consistently missing nowadays. No one should go to work and be faced with constant abuse.

Opportunity

East Hartford, Connecticut 

Would you apply for this job? I doubt it... Shop workers have an essential role to play in serving their customers and communities, yet many of them are having to deal with this kind of unacceptable behaviour on a daily basis: 1.    Being able to contend with high levels of violence and abuse 2.    Knowing what to do if you have a knife pulled on you 3.    Coping with the aftermath of an armed robbery 4.    Keeping calm when you’re sworn at or insulted 5.    Retaining a positive attitude after you’re been sexually harassed or racially abused Putting up with this on a regular basis means that nearly a third of shop workers are considering leaving their job.
