Anybody else work 7-6 five days a week?
Started a new job at a tire shop as a GS last week. Basically I'm supposed to be here at 6:45am and leave at 5:45pm, five days a week. Sometimes, I'm 10-15 mins late because I dont have reliable transportation, but my manager doesn't care that much, and he seems like a chill guy. Occasionally, i leave at around 5 if there's no work and there's enough coworkers that'll stay til 6, and I can catch the bus earlier.
But the majority of my shift, there's nothing to do, and business has been slow. Mostly shadowing and cleaning up. I'll occasionally do an oil change or mess with tires. It's incredibly boring. Yeah, I'm making more money, but by the time I get home, I dont have time for other activities like going to the gym, and I'm drained.
But anyway, I'm just wondering how others feel about this kinda shift.
