So like I have 2 jobs...well 3 but I don't count GameStop as I only work there one day a month so I get my discount.
Basically I work at Staples and a movie theater.
At the Theater (henseforth called Job A) I am a projectionist and spend my days running movies, splicing movies, and reading books in my down time.
At Staples (Job
I am the "Easy Tech" Basically I sell product and services like everyone else, plus I get to do Plan-O-Grams and fix computers.
Basically I hate Job B. I hate it because its high pressure sales (get X amount of dollars in plans today or your out) and they tell us to basically lie to and rip off the customer and I can't fucking stand that shit. Then out manager has been on the rag or something lately because she normally a bitch but this last week, like MEGA BITCH.
We had some customers buy a PC and they wanted more memory and some software installed. I made the sale (good for me I guess) and I told them it would be ready by 5 tomorrow night, because at the time I was the only person on the floor and shit was crazy. Then at about 5 that night I took my lunch. Not 10 minutes in my SM called me screaming "WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU?!" well besides the weight and the asthma I coulden't think of much else so I asked her to be spicific. "WHY WOULD YOU LEAVE WITHOUT FINISHING THIS PC!!!???!! THERE HERE NOW AND THERE ANGRY THAT YOU TOLD THEM IT WOULD BE READY BY 5!!!" well I explained that I said 5 TOMORROW, but she woulden't have it "GET YOUR ASS BACK HERE NOW!!"
So I cut my lunch at 10 minutes, went back, finished the PC and the customers where actully not angry at all and very happy with the job I'd done. But my SM still decided to scream at and belittle me in front of customers words like "NOT YOUR DECISION" and "REASSESS YOUR WORTH" where said, and as she stormed off I even had a customer come up to me and ask why I didn't just quit then.
Then this morning at like 6 after I worked 9 hours there and 9 hours at Job A she calls me "We had a call off. We need you here now." I said I was WAY too tired and at first she tried to make me feel bad about it "I was here until 12 and I'm here now, if I can do it, so can you." but I REALLY wanted to sleep and then she got angry, suddenly it was "YOU NEED TO GET YOUR PRIORITIES STRIGHTENED OUT IF YOU WANT TO CONTINUE TO BE CONSIDERED AN ASSEST TO THIS STORE!" and hung up.
At this point I'm really about to say fuck it. School starts next month anyway so why hold onto this any longer I think. I have another job and I'm in a descent finacial situation right now. I figure why not just quit?
So SE++, should I quit? Should I stick it out? Dosen't work Suck?
Alternately, lets talk about how much we hate our jobs.

Not that much. I still have 30-40 hours a week at the theater for the same exact pay. Plus i've been making cash on the side moonlighting my Tech skills to old people who pay me about a fifith of what they'd pay at Staples for services. Good money in that.
it was pretty sweet
Need some stuff designed or printed? I can help with that.
stop bitching about your job
be a man
if shit is too lame, fuck that shit
Well if you can afford to go without the extra pay then I would say get the fuck outa there. I would in your situation. But that's because I don't take no guff from no fool.

Dang, one day a month? You must be pulling some mad subscription and reservation sales for them to still keep you
OKAY NOT YET REALLY
I HAVE ORIENTATION ON TUESDAY
Welcome to Wal-Mart

THIS IS A SHELF
WE KEEP STUFF THAT WE SELL HERE
OK GO
kpop appreciation station i also like to tweet some
I've been working there for 6 years. 6 years. I was there before the current store manager was even hired. I knew the District Manager when she was still a 3rd key. I got roots there man. They go deep. I was even a manger for a bit, then I hated it. I can handle 1 day a month and I get a few subs and reserves whenever I work so they like me for it.
I wish
that would be the best job
Or the worst?
Feigning welcoming would drain my life away. I would end the day as a husk, empty and void of life. God fuck that shit.

Where do they have you? I did construction for a bit there once. It was OK, mostly because the managers didn't give two shits about anything so as long as my job was done by the time I left, no one cared what I did really.
I stocked at Target anad that was pretty rad. Stock Monkey is well paid and you don't deal with customers.
basically I stock shelves and do any random work
will you be making copies or laundering money? Or copying money to be laundered? Or killing dudes all sneaky like with your big paper cutter blade machete thing.
90% of your jobs can suck my dick.
that job was the best
So is it true that you wal-martians actually do a group chant every day
if true, that's hilarious
I like the dress code
copying stuff and manning the till and stocking, depending on who's in
The best.
Who wants to work for me?
They cast a shadow like a sundial in the morning light. It was half past 10.

save me from this fate
You know those Walmart greeters love to cough on the carts as they push them up to you, with strangely colored splotches on their hands and just dare you to not take it. It could be rather entertaining.
Regarding OP:
Get out while you can. You let someone whittle away at your nuts one berating at a time and before you know it there gone.
But, do set it up well enough to be worth a follow up post, or at least the evening news.
yes. yes it is. Theres stretches and jumping jacks and the chant.
fuck
Me too.
I'm willing to go that "extra" mile.
They drill the company loyality into you with chants and songs and then one day, when your not looking, they do it with a drill.
Wal-botomy they call it.
Damn man, much respect. I couldn't work there for more than 3 months mostly because my store manager was a dick. Funny how I ended up buying more books than games while working there. 30 percent discount? Yes please!
Also, back in high school I used to work at Chuck E Cheese and nothing was worst than dressing up as the fucking rat. If a chimo needed to find a legit job that paid money, I can't think of a better job than this.
Us stocking clerks occasionally break into song and dance through the aisles whilst placing products much to our customers delight. The bakers in the bakery department sing A Capella, and the butcher's corner workers toss thick slabs of steak across the room while yelling "Hup!"
We don't even have to choreograph, it's just spontaneous, jolly, wholesome fun.
Satans..... hints.....
Don't know if I really want it, since I don't know the area that well, but then again I need the money.
I worked at Wal-Mart for three years and never saw nor participated in the chant.
