Funplex worker. People always imagine that there are Karens and that you have to clean everything, but you meet lots of fun people, and I don't like meeting people usually.

Working in production in a thrift store. I wanted to get into retail because I enjoy organizing and setting stuff up. Sure, I still interact with customers but about 80% of the time I'm in the back working amongst my co-workers and unless someone is asking for assistance I can actually help them with, all I need to do is point them to the operations staff for more information. Since it's a thrift store, much of the stuff varies in price but prices are pretty cheap for the product, often. We still get 50% off on the clothing and soft accessories, 40% on things like shoes and bed and bath stuff, and 30% off on hardware. Employees are allowed to hold point membership cards to add to the perks. I got health insurance within 6 months of employment and allotted 2 weeks of vacation after a year, plus one wild card personal day of my choosing. This is also the first job where I can request to leave for an appointment during a shift and come back to work later that day, and have paid sick days.
