I have one of those cart person jobs and as soon as i fill in all the carts I have nothing to do soo i just sit around until there is stuff to do.. What should I do to occupy my time? Just sit arounf for hours? I also act a bit lazy once in a blue moon after standing on my feet for long periods of time. Usually im up on my feet excited to work but sometimes I just physically dont want to do it because my feet hurt really bad and my back hurt. anybody got any tips?

    This is fairly common. Grab a broom and sweep, you can also lean against the broom when your legs get tired. I used to do this when I was a dishwasher. Also, maybe get some insoles for your work shoes. Good luck

    Everybody I know spends at least a small portion of their workdays doing nothing/killing time. It's normal.

    I feel sorry for you having such a physical job with a sore back and all.
    I do an office job. Boring as fuck and I do SFA except websurf every chance I get. Still fucking hate it though. I think it's normal to be lazy at work. I feel I've earned my paycheck just by turning up!

            You bet - you'd have to commit homicide before you could lose one of these numbers. Mind you, some days......LOL

              Some days I spend less then half an hour doing real actual work. Not to mention benefits and a pension. The sad thing is I am probably one of many. Oh well I dont care. Not a bad deal for someone who shows up 15 mins late everyday, leaves 15 mins early, screws around online 3 times more then he actually works. At this point I cant even picture having a "real" job.

    Your job doesn't sound very exciting so it's normal for you to feel lazy. Be proud you have a job though. Maybe ask the boss for more things to do and see if there's a chance of more money in your pay packet if there is

    You sound like a lazy piece of crap. When they hired you to get the carts did they specifically say once they are all back at the front of the store you can go goof off?

    Its because of little cart bitches like you that I purposely dont bring my cart back to the store once I get done loading up my car and even sometimes take the carts out of designated areas that other customers have put them in and spread them all over the parking lot just to make your job that much more difficult.

      If you think about it, you're actually helping to keep him in a job and I'm sure he appreciates that.

        Not if I purposely push all the carts all over the place even after they have been ordered and returned to the front of the store. And the manager sees the carts like that and then yells at the cart bitches to clean them all up, while they sit around scratching their heads wondering what happened? Or get them fired for complaining about them at customer service.

          Dearie me, when all's said and done it sounds like you're working harder than they are. You're certainly working harder than me in my cushy govt job. PLUS I get paid LOL!

            Oh please its a piece of cake to do, take one of the lines of carts out and just throw it randomly out into the parking lot, if you actually hit any of the cars its a bonus since that person would most likely complain right away about it. Plus you can aim for some of the more expensive cars and ruin on of them.

            No I only try to get the younger ones fired who cant file for unemployment. I also go into the bathrooms and piss all over the place so that whoever uses it next complains about how dirty it is and someone has to clean it. If I shop for long enough then I try to do it at least twice.

              The OP may not even be in your target group then so you could still be doing them a favour. Still working harder than them or me tho......
