Q. I just got a parcel job at a food market. What I do is:
- Assist Customers by loading parcels into vehicles, maintain the outside area of the store
- Maneuver grocery carts, bags of groceries, and parcels
- Retrieve carts from parking lot
- Retrieve products from shelves
- Put away returned items
- Fill bag racks
- Assist cashiers
- and the worst of all, clean out can and bottle return areas, along with the BATHROOM!
With all this I'm also getting paid only aorund 7.80-8.00$/hr...
Toys"R"Us has openings for a sales associate and I'd much rather do that job instead basically because my duties would be much better. I would be,
- Trying to sell products to customers on the selling floor
- Stock shelves
- Maintain backroom areas
- Process customer pick-ups and operate cash registers as needed
Assuming that I get the job at Toys"R"Us, is it okay to just quit my current job after having worked for several days?
For those who need to know, I'm 18-20 yrs old.
Hmm, seems like it's okay to do so based on the answers I'm getting. But I do I go about telling my boss? Do I lie and say something happened and I can't work for them, or do I just say I found another or better job?
A. Your employer may not think so but do not feel guilty in leaving . The Toys R Us job is something that you would be more passionate about and therefore would probably do a much better job. I hate to tell you this but it is true -- in todays world it is about advancement more so than loyalty. That is equal on both sides of the fence. Todays companies do not show loyalty to the employees so therefore most employees do not show loyalty to them. IT IS SAD BUT TRUE! KEEP MOVING UP!!!!!
Is it okay to quit a job for a better one, right after I got it?

- I don't know the pay of rthe Toys"R"Us job, but I really like it more because of the different and easier duties, along with a nice enviroment where I'm surrounded by cool toys!
If it is okay to leave, how do I go about telling my boss? Do I lie and say something happened and I can't work for them, or do I just say I found another or better job?
By the way, this would be my first job... But even though it is, not every does a janitorial job as their first job do they?! Besides, I've looked around the internet and I've read that thost parcel jobs get ABSOLUTLEY NO respect and I'm treated like trash, since I'm doing somewhat of a trashy job...
A. Is it "OK"? No.
Would I do it? Yes.
You have to weigh the pros and cons, and from what you describe, you're not going to last very long at the current job anyway. Better to quit now and take the better job if you can. Of course, don't quit one until you have the offer of the other one. Then see if you can give two weeks notice. If you do it that way, you'll be taking the better way out. And you won't have as much risk. There's nothing worse than being jobless, because it's much harder to get a job when you don't have one. So, stick with the janitorial job as long as you need to, but I'd definitely work toward the other one if you can.

Is bicycle assembly hard to learn?
Q. I thought I might check out a bicycle assembler position at my local Toys 'R Us because I need a part-time job to pay for school and, as everyone knows, job openings are scarce nowadays, at least where I live. But the job posting says I need to able to learn the trade within 3 weeks, and I always hear of people frustrated at the level of difficulty involving the assembly of their new bikes. I would like to know if bike assembly is really as hard as they say.
A. [adding to sir bikeworks words of wisdom...]
1. The bikes sold at TrU are made with low quality components. They are often tougher to install/adjust than higher quality components. If you don't have any experience wrenching on higher quality bikes, you won't have preconceived notions. However, if you've been tuning your TF1, Madone, or Tarmac, you'll find this job un-delightfully different.
2. You'll assemble a mix of bike types. Some will have derailleurs, some will have baskets & racks, and some will be missing little parts. These are the things, in addition to dropouts that aren't spread correctly, that will slow your pace and frustrate you.
3. You'll have a minimum bikes per shift assembly rate that they'll eventually expect from you, most likely at the end of the 3 wk "probationary" period. Someone that can only put together three bikes per shift won't be worth the trouble (and cost) of keeping. If you're making too many errors during assembly that another assembler must correct, you definitely won't be worth the hassle.
4. Your trainer may be a great guy with a magnetic personality and a talent for bringing newbies up to par in short order. Or be may be a jerk that doesn't understand the fundamentals of training or even care if you personally succeed. Hope for the first guy, but don't count on it. Get your terminology down first, understand the function of each part of a bicycle, and read enough to be familiar with the basics of assembling a bike. Loan out a bike repair manual from the local library and read some of the available sources online. Just these basics will make your introduction to the job that much less stressful. Your interviewer may be interested in learning about what you've done to prepare yourself for the position for which you're applying. This might help you get in the door.
5. Try to get along with the rest of the crew, but don't get sucked into someone's personal issues, especially when their issues are with the boss. Backrooms are notorious festering grounds for poor behavior and poor morale. The gossip can get thick at times. Don't let yourself be a part of it. You're there to do your job and to do it the best you can. If you've got a great personality and an eagerness to learn other tasks and responsibilities, your manager may be willing to give you hours out on the sales floor, whether it be stocking shelves or running registers at the front. Adding this bit of variety to your job might mean something; it can get boring in a dimly lit shipping/receiving/assembly room.
