This is a rant. I've worked at 4 supermarkets in my life. I've currently been working at a supermarket for 4 months, and of all the supermarkets I've worked at, this is the second worst. I've never quit my job in my life; it's always been the companies that fired me. At my last supermarket, I was fired because I probably argued with the manager (although I was fired about 2 months after the argument). This last supermarket I worked at was the second best I've ever worked at.
Every day while I'm working (and even outside of work) I think about that last supermarket. In that old job, I had to walk for 10 minutes to get to work. Now I have to take a bus to get to work, which takes me a total of 50 minutes.
At my old job, the warehouse was cleaner, more organized, and easier to get merchandise from. Today I work in a warehouse that is not so clean (with rats that spoil some products), not so organized, and difficult to get merchandise from.
At my old supermarket, I felt passionate about working, and I worked very hard. Today I don't like working and I only do the bare minimum.
My bosses in my old job and my current one are more or less the same. I have nothing to say about that.
Of course, there are also things in my current supermarket that are better than in the old one. For example, in my old job, all employees were monitored 24/7 by cameras. In my current supermarket, nobody pays much attention to that.
I miss my old job, but I don't want to go back. Because I know that the same manager and those same other bosses I had will still be there. And they will try to prevent me from keeping the job (I worked well, but as I mentioned, I argued with my bosses). And even if all my old bosses had left, I still wouldn't go back, because it's more convenient and easier to continue in my current job that I don't like.
I worked organizing shelves in these 4 supermarkets. I'm 20 years old and I've already spent 2 years and 9 months of my life working.

youre killing me. you have a whole life ahead of you to move onto bigger and better things. even if you decide to stay working super markets you can find happiness elsewhere and when you do you'll realize how silly it is to lament over your last job.
Im 35. I went to college straight out of high school and had good grades, yet the only job I could get was graveyard at a gas station. The pay was so shit I had to pick up cans in the parking lot garbage just to scrape by. Now I am a software developer with a decent car, nice home, and two kids but damn was I ever miserable before getting here.

When I was your age I was working at target and literally surrounded with prime pussy and several girls showed interest in me and I was so fucking stupid thinking I didn’t want to get involved in workplace drama so never persued any of the target girls. Unreal how different things would be if I could go back

Supermarket 1: I was fired because I was an intern and my contract was only for 1 year and 3 months.
Supermarket 2: I was fired because this company fired absolutely all employees within the 3-month probationary period.
Supermarket 3: I was fired because I argued with the manager.
Supermarket 4: My current job, I haven't been fired yet.
