Retail vs Warehouse/Factory

[thereallegend]

Working retail full time is just as hard as working warehouse/factory part time.

I've done both, warehouse is physically draining, retail is mentally draining.

Warehouse only feels bad for the first month, after that, the body adapts. You just need to stretch regularly, eat sufficient amounts of food, get some comfy insoles for safety boots, and use proper lifting techniques.

In fact, I'd say warehouse is worse for you mentally than retail because it's 8-12 hours of absolute brain deadness. A particularly creative mind would struggle with the monotonous nature of a long-term warehouse job.

Yeah I actually liked working in a warehouse and lifting shit all day because of the exercise. It was because of that warehouse job I lost about 12kg over one summer and I finally got to see my true looks potential. I ended up getting into the best shape of my life without setting foot into a gym. But yes, it was mind numbing and that's why I left. I work a comfy office job now but now I have to work a full day and then go to the gym as well, which I don't like. I'm actually considering working part time in a warehouse on the weekends.
