I work at a local grocery store, mostly bagging, but I will occasionally work in the grocery department, stocking shelves and all that. I have mostly worked during the summer, which I have done for Two summers now, but since money is tight, I must now start working and going to school. Whenever I worked there in the summer, I would always get extremely nervous before and during work. The work is not incredibly difficult, but I am always incredibly fearful. I thought it would get better after I would be doing it for this long, but I am still nervous all the time. If I am stocking shelves, I always feel like I will do something wrong, or that my superiors will give me a stern talking to, or something like that. I also feel like I don't work fast enough; when I am supposed to face all of the items on the shelves, my Boss always tells me to speed it up a little, which makes me more nervous. When customers also ask me where things are, I don't exactly know, since I have only worked during the summers (and the store often changes where things are). I always feel like I am being too slow or doing something wrong, and I Hate it. On top of that, I feel extremely nervous when talking to my superiors; they are usually always busy with something, and I feel like I am wasting their time with my questions, like "Where would the Olive Oil be" when they are trying to straighten out something important. So, that is my problem haha. Does anyone know of any ways to cope with this? It's extremely frustrating to feel this way, especially when I've been doing it for this long. Any help would be appreciated |
