I have been working retail for over 12 years working directly with customers. At first I was afraid to approach customers, however, over time it did get eaiser. I have worked in a clothing store, box store ( electronics/photo lab), and now a commissioned sales job selling cell phones.
Although I work in retail I still have trouble having close relationships with other people. Once I come home from work I just want to be by myself and chill out. Somedays I do feel overwhelmed by customers esp if I get yelled at or they are too demanding.
At my job I am easy going and get along with my coworkers and use humor some days. As for customers I am friendly and want to do my best to serve them.
Sometimes I wonder that my SA hurts me since if I was more open to friendships and have better social skills my job would be more successful.
I am wondering how anyone else who works in retail with SA can manage thier position and how it affectss thier personal life?
