“Retail isn’t difficult, it's people that make it that way.” It's not very often that a quote is so true that it speaks more like a fact. Retail is known as extremely challenging, physical labour and mentally exhausting, but that is because people make it that way. If you work in that shop, you get stock out, get the shop ready for your customers, they buy stuff, you serve them, they pay, they leave, and you replenish what they bought. Throw in setting up new offers and promotions, it actually sounds so easy… but why isn't. ‘People’, people make it difficult. People do stupid things, people steal, people mess deliveries up, deliveries are late or don’t show up, store visits happen, and the list goes on. The whole concept is the same as life in general, why does it have to be so difficult, when it can really be so simple… if you want it to be.
