While I work at a large chain (Kroger), I work at a smaller store (the recent ones that are being built are huge) and I much prefer the smaller one... I live next to a large Kroger and it's just too big...

I imagine a larger retail store keeps you from having to do a bit of everything and you have your own department? Idk. I never want to check dates on food ever again.

you used to check on dates on like bread and cans and it was tedious?

large

less chance of being the one who might get shot in a robbery than if you're the only person working at some convenience store

I was a night shift manager at a local gas station for a couple years and I found it to be an enjoyable job. If it payed worth a damn I'd be happy to do it still.

Eh, not really... I already can't sleep for long periods of time so I just sleep a bit when I get home, stay up most of the day, and sleep a bit before work...

large because of the higher chance of job security

smaller stores are a mixed bag in terms of getting hours

It's okay. There are worse places to be at. That being said though, there's no mental stimulation for me - i've never seen it as a career even after all these years, it's just a job. When i first started it was a temp solution until i figured out what I wanted to do.....and then it just never stopped. And it's tough to leave now because i'm making 30+ bucks an hour, get two yearly bonuses and the benefits are terrific.

When i started i think it was 11 something, now starting pay *i think* is 17 something.

oh you mean it isn't mentally challenging stuff to figure out, you stock shelves? yeah 30 an hr for non managerial retail is really good.

Damn. This is me to a tee. I've only worked at Costco for 12 years so far tho lol
Edit: I think the starting pay is actually 18 now. Kinda wild.

No, it's pretty easy. Trying to get full time after hired for part is hard though.

I used to years and years ago, now i drive forklift/work on the receiving dock. The grind kind of wore on me after a while which is why I made the stimulation comment.
