Girl you need a thicker skin for that job.

Things that should help...

#1 No matter what happens, DON'T take it personally! Those people don't know you and what a great person you may be. To them, you are merely an extension of the Casino. This means they look for someone to blame, especially if they just lost their alimony money!

#2 Learn to work the system. Find a way to make your little piece of worker hell your own. Become so amazingly efficient they can't complain, be two steps ahead of your worst customers thoughts. Beat'em before the game even started!

#3 Don't take your work home with you. When you punch the card and clock out, that's it, it's over and walk away. When you get home, take 5 minutes to release all the bullshit you've endured before you see your man. Don't vent in front of him, he is not the problem, the dumb-ass nitwits this country is filled are. Leave your man out of the equation.

I was feeling wordy and I hope some of this helps. But keep in mind, there's a very real chance that I have no idea of what I'm talking about.

great advice right there.

i once started a vent thread here on the org to save my poor husband copping it when i got home

it worked

Lladygold
i hear u, working in retail for so long i often feel that some ppl treat u like a piece or s%#t. to counter this i smile at every customer, even if they r using my section as a short cut to where they are going. they cant help but smile back (in most cases).

Find another job.

RenHoek said:

Amen and amen.... start looking for another job on you days off. To work with people you MUST know how to deal with whatever may come your way...

even being called the N word, or physical threat all which happened to me <- now those were BAD days. Just take it a moment, breathe and be ready.

thank u all,i am grateful for all ur help.sorry my post was a little hard 2 read last nite,but it was late and i was still hate to admit it crying,at work last nite something else i forgot to post,was one of the waiters said 2 me "u seat me another fuckin tabble again and i will kill u".i try very hard at my jobi dont mean 2 sound ungrateful,it is not as easy as u would think,when i first got the job, i thought it was going 2 be simple,the joke was on me. i have tried every posssible avenue to please,these, guests waiters, bussers,mangers,high rollers,but nothing works.i have been getting panic attacks.not good. i have been looking for other jobs.but nothing.

btw ,renhoek,u r amazing,u sound very smart,i am going to try my hardest to try the things that u posted.once again, i am sorry to vent. thank u renhoek

I say in these times, be thankful you have a job.

I'm sorry to hear what you're going through. If it is taking a toll on your emotional health, definitely consider another job if not a long break. Cause what you've been experiencing long term like that IS considered emotional abuse and the longer it goes on, the more it affects you.

alphastreet , i am so sorry 2 here what u r going through.its so hard everday 2 go 2 a job, where u no their will b problems,u can org me anytime if u want to vent.

paisley,dont get me wrong i am grateful 4 my job, but i feel threatned everyday,i cant explain it to u , i guess if u did my job u would no.but thanks everyone 4 all your advice.

Agreed.

Otherwise keep looking for another job that you will enjoy doing.

lladygold said:

really I am...

Listen, we all come here to blow off some steam and talk about our issues. Then we use cute emoticons to express how we feel at any given moment, and that's always fun so there's no need to apologise for "venting".

I think we'd be interested to hear more about YOU lladygold so I'm going to start a thread in your honor and all I ask is that you play along and answer all the questions you're about to get... consider this an org-right-of-passage... it'll make you wiser & stronger...

well, maybe...

I can relate and I HATE my job too. I work for a call center doing customer service and I get cussed out ALL day by people thinking the world is gonna end because their stupid cell phone doesn't work. But like someone said before, grow a thick skin and shake that shit off when u hit the door. Dealing with the public sucks, but it's a job so don't let those people steal your joy or get 2 u.

sorry u r getting cussed at all day long.i hope it gets better 4 u !!!

Sounds to me like you are better off out of it.
I know if a job was making me that miserable i'd walk , its that kind of stress that sends people to an early grave.
In the meantime "chin up" you are better than the people who take pleasure in upsetting you.

RenHoek said:

Agreed.
