How has working in retail and hospitality affected your body?

Positives: I'm much more fit and my core feels stronger, and I get most of my daily steps/workout in without having to go to the gym.

Cons: my body is often so tired, and my feet and knees ache. I also don't eat as well as I should, which I know is not good for my body.

What about you?

I'm just about the same as you. I'm much more active than I was before, and my feet also constantly ache. It's probably a net positive for me all in all, but I could go without the soreness.

Definitely agree. I keep trying different shoes!

I invested in some orthotic shoes this year that are custom made for my feet and it's made all the difference. If you're noticing the aches and pains, I would highly recommend getting a pair! Go to any running shoe store and they can fit you for some.

I'm going to try!

I used to be fit while working in retail and now I have gained some weight and it is hard to stay fit.

It's hard when you aren't running around all day anymore.

Yes, I seen a difference in my body when I started working in retail then when I I wasn’t. I was getting my daily steps in which I love. I did noticed my knees are getting bad from me kneeling down so much.

Best thing I ever did was give up fast food, over 20 years ago (I was travelling a lot for work, and spending over 40 hours a week just driving). Second best thing I ever did was give up soda, about 14 years ago. Third best thing was to get good quality shoes. And change them frequently. (I don't do that enough. I read somewhere that you should change shoes every 500 miles. That can be like once a month!!)

How would you handle not getting a lunch break when you are a salaried employee treating patients for 40 hours a week? I don’t get documentation time either, but all notes are to be completed the same day. Some of us have reached out to HR and we’re told to discuss it with the regional director, but the regional director says we’d have to come in early or leave late to block out a lunch break. My commute is an hour each way, so I’d prefer not to make my day any longer. Advice?
