I'm swapping my navy walled home office for manning the till, tidying shelves and chatting with customers. I loved my first shift on the shop floor, let's see how I feel after Black Friday weekend.
Love this and a big YES to those human connections. Retail at this time of year is so so important for humanness slipping unexpectedly into people’s lives. You never know someone’s story and how the festive rituals can lift or burden a soul. A time of much reflection and a kind word, some gentle help with gift buying or reminding folk that it is okay to dial back people’s expectations- such important moments. Have the best time.
Thank you! I've done four shifts now and absolutely love it. I'm embracing not knowing what I'm doing and making plenty of mistakes, it's pretty liberating getting comfortable with asking for help - a lot!

I’ve considered this option too Harriet. I used to work in retail and chatting to customers was my favourite thing. Glad it’s working out
I thought I might enjoy it but honestly I’ve l’ve been surprised at how much I enjoy it! It helps that my colleagues are ace too.
