Certainly not the answer they were looking for, but I disagree it's a botch. That's a completely valid and insightful assessment of one thing that IS wrong with retail.
I "botched" my job at a retail store by not following an SOP. After 13 years working there, I did what I thought was right for the customer in the moment. I stand by "what" I did, even if I now can think of alternative solutions. The thing is, 13 years was way too long for me to be in either a retail job or still working for that company. It was time to leave. I didn't see that right away, and my employer certainly didn't do anything to help me see my opportunities outside of retail.
SO helpful to know others botch things too!! Love the idea that our talents are needed elsewhere. Thanks!!

another great life supporting lesson( even for those who aren't in retail)
I like how you use personal examples....surely hits home
Thank you so much. 💖
