    Costo is actually one of the better retailers to work for in the US.

      Yeah if you just want to drive a forklift and move pallets around, costco and ikea are decent retail jobs. If you don't mind talking to people or know how to fix apple products, then the apple store pays really well. I'd recommend getting out of retail if you can though it sucks ass. I'd never go back to working retail. I'd rather dig ditches.

      Edit: Another okay one is Best Buy, they pay okay, minimum of $15 and they have different avenues into better jobs like car and in-home install and their store reset team. Lowes and Home Depot I think aren't bad, but Target, Wal Mart, Kohl's and Bed Bath & Beyond all suck. I worked retail for a while and knew/know a shit ton of people who have worked different retail. Honestly almost all of my jobsites are retail stores now so I still see how things operate.

        also would recommend starbucks to trans comrades, as long as you work 20+ hours a week you get insurance, which after 3 months covers all transition surgeries and will pay you when you're recovering. The pay and work might suck, but it's def worth it.

        I'm on leave right now and I got my doctor note to go back but man does it feel good to sit around and shitpost while daydrinking with you guys. Unfortunately I have no other real marketable skills. Fuck capitalism. Plus the place I work at isn't that bad either.

        Yeah Apple pays good as hell for retail plus they give you stock for free which is pretty sweet. I lasted like nine months at the genius bar before customers treating me like dog shit became too much for my poor suicidal brain and I quit. Still kinda regret not going out by telling a customer to fuck off and getting fired lol

        what does a store reset team do

        EDIT: here's what I found out on my own

        WHAT IS A RESET?

        To put it in its simplest term – a Store Reset is a carefully planned out set of changes to make your store more easily shoppable. You might ask yourself, “Well isn’t that the job of the product designer?” Well – yes and no. The manufacturer or producer must certainly make sure their product is marketable and competitive, but the retailer has the responsibility to ensure the product is seen! And how does a business owner make it possible for items to be easily accessible? Well, that is where a store Reset comes handy.

        A store Reset is the process of rearranging/replacing fixtures, shelves, stand-alone units, merchandise etc., ultimately to make a retail business more navigable. For any store having troubles with their inventory turnover, a store Reset might be what they need to turn things around.

      And the warehouse design and logistics is good for potential distribution when we seize the means of production (still we want to reduce consumption).
