Would you quit a job if it involved a lot of heavy lifting?
Opinions?? Even if the hourly pay was good (£9.50) an hour? What are your biggest no-nos with a job?

Retail and fast food industry. Never go into it
No atleast i would be getting excercise
I would never be given a job that required a lot of heavy lifting, having almost zero upper body strength

Learned this the hard way.
Yes, my body is not made for strenuous physical labour.

Surely you would know the job involved a lot of lifting before you accepted it?
Not at all. My original job doesnt so much involve it but cause other people have left my department their jobs have been shifted onto me
Well my previous warehouse jobs involved a lot of heavy lifting like 15kg to 25kg boxes it was solid but I got a good six pack and that made me feel good plus it was kinda straight forward I just got the job done enit

Could be fun, Id give it a try.
Not when you're a girl who gets her period once a month and is still expected to LIFT heavy boxes containing frozen food.

Fair enough. In that case, if I felt I was not able to do the job safely, I would quit.

I think retail heavily depends on the store
Everyone in my dept complains about their back pain. 2 of my male colleagues have had to see doctors/have scans because their backs are on the verge of severely damaging. Even my lower back/knees get the most excruciating pain during my shifts. I'm also a girl so I'm pretty sure I shouldnt be carrying boxes that are super big and contain x120 frozen doughnuts etc....

definitely... why should i, when i can just sit here and look pretty
True I will start doing so cause I cant stand to do another shift involving extreme manual labour. Thank u
I do heavy lifting in my retail job but not as much as my old job working in a pub, I think for a job that is literally just heavy lifting the money would be a motivator but I could probably only stomach it for a summer and last 2 months or so.

I think food retail is pretty chill, the team I work with at the moment are lovely. Not heard good things on fast-food restaurants from friends experiences , although I know someone who worked his way up management at McDonalds and is now on a good salary.
