My only retail job ever was at Radioshack back in 2009, I lasted about 2 months before landing an office IT job..
It was barely a shell of its former self then.. the only training I remember was being told to upsell batteries with every transaction..
I didn't make it long enough to be trained on selling cell phone plans which was the only way to make commission...
I don't understand the mindset of someone willing to be sold a cellphone plan during a random radioshack visit enough to work with them =p
Black Friday was during my short time there, I wasnt overly familiar with our inventory or locations of things, and fielding questions like "What gift should I get my grandson?"
I was anxious pretty much every minute that I worked there.
May I never experience retail again.
