I hate my retail job :(
I've only been there for 3 weeks and i feel like im dying. I have social anxiety and so I took this job not for the money but to actually step out of my comfort zone and improve my people skills.
Before my job, I used to speak to people or groups of people (that arent my friends) for about 5 minutes max -- anymore and i would feel just tired
This job forces me to interact with so many people which should help my anxiety but **** me I feel like its making me worse!
I still dont know my coworkers but when i try to get to know them they kindve push me away which pisses me off
The people monotoring me are also forcing me to sell extra things but thats not something im great with. What makes this job even harder is that a lot of the customers are *****y!! Example being - a customer complained at me how the store only has a certain type of layout - **** off, what am i supposed to do about that!
Also the man who hired me during the interview was all happy and cheerful when i met him. But when i was 3 minutes late (was helping my sibling go to some summer school) the ******* manager looked so pissed off and grumpy and miserable -- misleading persona or what
I dont really care about the money, ive lived off minimally most of my life -- what should I do

I think we're the same person lmao except I'm only 1 week in, I'm trying to make it to 3/4 weeks (well done for making it that far) to see if things improve but I feel crap rn and dread it everyday It's hard to leave a job once you're in cos the decision is so tough but my plan is to leave and try to get a different type of job that doesn't involve as much customer service bc I cannot cope tbh and I feel weak for it but at the end of the day, do what's best for you and your health

Quit as you don't need the job anyway

Take someone with you when you tell him or call him or let someone call him to inform him that you're not going to work anymore

There's your excuse then, say you have to leave because you've found out you're moving away for uni and that's that! They can't do anything. If they decide to rant at you then just leave. Then you can try to get a new job in something more suited for you in a new place
I'm like you I'm soo nervous when it comes to people. I quit my job at McDonald's after one day (pls no one judge) be proud of yourself for going weeks. I'm terrifed to get another job but my family is going on that I need to bring in money. I swear I wish my teenage years were better. The only advice I can give is think what's best for yourself as it's clearly bringing you down.
Your manager can't do anything if you leave, he can rant and rave but you can literally just walk away. You'll find another job, don't worry, maybe you should focus on your studies considering you're starting them soon? Well done on getting a job to help your social anxiety too, I used to suffer quite badly with it so know how difficult it can be to cope
