Why do you work in a supermarket, rest for four days a month, and earn 2000 yuan, or is someone willing to do it?

The salary is 2000, but you can't imagine other income. Working in a supermarket has so many invisible benefits, but it also reveals how much sadness and helplessness.

Recruitment posters in supermarkets often have recruitment needs. Most of them are required to be under 45 years old, healthy and disease-free. There is no requirement for cultural level, and the salary above is often less than 2000, and there are only four days off a month. Why are so many people willing to work in supermarkets with such treatment conditions?

My little aunt works in a supermarket. She goes shopping in the supermarket on weekdays and always talks to her little aunt. Only then did I gradually know why there was no shortage of employees in supermarkets, and even my aunt said that there were still many people competing for some positions in supermarkets. Housewives in their thirties and forties choose to work in supermarkets, which is a compromise to life.

My aunt used to work in a pharmaceutical company in town. In our small town, it is remarkable that she can get a salary of eight or nine thousand yuan a month. My aunt is one of such a group.

But the price of getting such a high salary is also very high. I work overtime and stay up all day, and communicate with customers by phone anytime and anywhere.

Grandma is in good health, so the task of taking care of her cousin falls on her. Watching my cousin grow up day by day and become more and more naughty, it is particularly difficult to look after my cousin and grandmother.

One rainy day, grandma accidentally fell down while chasing her cousin. Maybe she was too old and broke her right leg. At this time, my cousin is unattended and my grandmother needs someone to take care of her.

Although he took turns to take care of his menstruation several times, because his grandmother was old, he didn't want to stay in bed all the time, his legs didn't heal completely, and he needed to walk with crutches.

Under such circumstances, my cousin has gradually reached the age of going to school. Although my aunt works in the town, she often works overtime and can't take care of her family at the same time.

After careful consideration, menstruation chose to quit her job, go home to take care of her grandmother, and pick up her cousin at home to help with her homework.

Although grandma's hind legs have not recovered to their former appearance, she can still take care of herself in the most basic daily life, but she can't cook and stand for a long time.

Cousin has more and more learning tasks, and many of them need the cooperation of parents. In this way, my aunt took care of my grandmother at home and helped my cousin learn. For a whole month, my aunt said she couldn't stay any longer.

After sending my cousin to school every day, I clean the house and make breakfast. I don't know what to do. Grandma's legs are a little inconvenient, but she can take care of herself.

My aunt saw that the supermarket in the town was looking for a job, so she applied for it. This supermarket is the largest in our town.

My monthly salary is 1800. Aunt smiled and said that she earned at most 20,000 yuan in the previous month, which was less than the previous salary of110, but talking is better than nothing.

The working hours of the supermarket are three shifts, from 8: 30 in the morning to 3: 30 in the afternoon. 12 noon to 7 pm and 4 pm to 1 1.

Although the monthly salary is not much, it can't compare with the last one, but he has enough time to send his cousin to school and take care of his grandmother with inconvenient legs and feet at home.

My aunt used to complain that the wages in the supermarket were too low and uneconomical. Unexpectedly, after working for two or three months, she never heard my aunt complain again. But from time to time in the family group to share the specialty of today's supermarkets and some good quality fruits.

Later, I chatted with my aunt, why he worked in the supermarket and persisted for so long. My aunt said that there are old people in the world, and your uncle is so hard outside. He can take care of your grandmother and your cousin at home, but he has more free time. This job in the supermarket not only earns money, but also kills time. The most important thing is that I found that working in a supermarket is actually quite good, at least I have fruits and vegetables to eat every day.

My aunt told us that she worked in a supermarket and suffered from back pain and cervical spondylosis for many years, because she stood up most of the time in the supermarket.

And the work is not so busy, mostly on weekends and nights. If you get used to it, it's actually very easy.

For a person in his thirties and forties, the economic conditions at home are not enough to hire a nanny, the children need to be taken care of and the elderly need to be supported. It is also a last resort compromise.

Working in a supermarket actually has many advantages.

My aunt said that working in a supermarket actually has many advantages. At least the fruits and vegetables I eat every day are the best parts in the supermarket.

Also, our relatives can basically get wool from the supermarket. Once there are any activities or good things in the supermarket, my aunt will always ask in the family group if anyone wants to help you get them in advance.

Besides these, the welfare benefits in the supermarket are actually not bad. Aunt said that she works in the supermarket on holidays, and there is basically no shortage of rice flour oil, but there are also some toilet paper and laundry detergent, and daily necessities are often available.

Especially as a cashier in a supermarket, some customers don't register their membership cards. Although the goods can't be discounted too much, at most a few cents cheaper, my aunt sometimes gives them her membership card.

So their shopping points are all on my aunt's membership card, and the supermarket membership card points can be directly exchanged for gifts and coupons. Sometimes business is good, and weekend points can be exchanged for shopping vouchers of several hundred yuan.

Supermarkets also have a humanized service. People who need to pick up their children, such as my aunt, usually stay for an hour and make flexible arrangements. They can rest for an hour, and you can work for an extra hour after picking up the children.

This flexible control of time makes my aunt feel that although the salary in the supermarket is not very high, it is relatively flexible and free, and it is not as hard as working in a pharmaceutical factory before, and the phone calls are constant all day long.

Concluding remarks

In fact, the monthly salary of supermarkets is 1000 yuan to 2,000 yuan, which seems to be less than the daily salary of urban white-collar workers. However, such a job is the only choice for some people.

Although the salary of working in a supermarket is low, such a job is also our yearning for a better life. Although mixed with compromise, it is also full of hope.

My aunt said that after my cousin went to live in high school, I don't know if I will continue to work in the supermarket, but at least I feel more comfortable and happier now.

There are no special requirements for supermarket work, and the threshold is low, especially for some small supermarkets, the treatment is not as good as that of large supermarkets. However, how many free jobs with working hours close to home?
