What’s one change in customers behavior you’ve noticed over the past few years that doesn’t get talked about enough? For me, it’s people expecting immediate solutions now. It could be pricing, wait times, shipping delays, or availability, employees are often expected to fix problems they didn’t create — instantly. Curious what others are seeing at the places they work lately?

how do we get out?! i’ve been doing office work in a grocery store for too long… this was supposed to help me transition out of hospitality but it feels like i’m going to be stuck in a grocery store for the rest of my career
i guess i just need to voice my frustrations. it’s not that i hate my job or the field, i don’t. i’m just feeling extremely overwhelmed and discouraged i think. does anyone really, truly enjoy what they do in retail/hospitality?? needing some positivity

Thinking of switching employers. Do you think bigger retail stores (the ones that have several locations) are easier or harder to work at than little hole-in-the-wall grocery stores (which is all I've ever done)? It seems like the larger chain stores would have more downtime, but I'm wondering if anyone could give some input.
