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…

    You got this. They will give you some training. It’s also okay to ask questions of the other people who work there. Anxiety before starting something new is normal.

      Thanks!

      I just hope I can find information online about how to work a cash register.

      That’s how nervous I am, but I think there are different models.

      I will look right now anyways.

        There are a few cashier POS training videos on youtube that may give you a general idea of what to expect more or less.
