It’s a church non-profit classified as a “retail” thrift store.
Meant to aid the homeless and needy.
Here in Virginia, I needed it.
I certainly needed the income because my funds or money have dried up or almost have.
But goddamn, tomorrow’s the first day.
It’s a small building and it’s pretty homely from what I’ve seen of it.
Commute is 30 minutes long, but I’m transferring to another area that’s about 10 to 15 minutes away in a month or two.
I’m on a probationary period as a full-time worker for three months so my job seems safe for the time being.
But I have to do cashier-work, pricing and stocking, and lift to about 50 lbs., among other retail work.
Honestly? Nobody ever had me do cashier-work before in all the time I’ve worked retail before. Is there a video or source online that walks you step-by-step on how to do it? And what about pricing and stocking items?
Usually, I did backroom work before and even that I found a bit hard.
I get paid $13.00, which is more than I received before.
They said it would be busy now.
I’m sure I can do it… but goddamn, I’m nervous…

Take it one step at a time.
Before going to bed, get your clothes ready for the morning, set-up your breakfast table, have a shower, set an alarm and start the day.
In the morning, have a glass of water, look out the window and see what the furthest thing you can see is.
Take your time, get ready and head out so you’ll arrive 15 minutes early, since you don’t likely know the route, the vagaries of traffic or how to exactly park etc.
Be curious. Ask questions, it’s a new adventure.
You got this!
