Haven't gone in there in awhile, decided to stop in and kill some time, whatever. Well I went over to their footwear section and customers were tearing that shite up. Throwing stuff everywhere, taking shoes out of boxes and leaving them laying around, putting boxes on the floor and just walking away. It was like a zoo in there.

Academy workers are some of the most useless people you will encounter at a retail store, followed closely by auto zone

Move to a city like Scottsdale and you will never have to deal with that again.

I worked part time in the shoe department K-mart back in high school.

It was easily the worst job I've ever had.

You spend the entire time straightening the shoes and pairing up shoes that made their way around the store somehow...only to have to start right back over because everyone went behind you and fricked it all up again.

When you finish, you start all over again and repeat until your shift is over.

It was a nightmare.

I've heard that Academy is about the worst retail store to work at for what it's worth.

You sure you don't work at academy and just started this to get people to not make your job harder?

I worked in the footwear department the spring semester my freshman year at LSU. It was the most miserable experience of my life. The way you described the customers is a pretty accurate observation of the daily crap I dealt with back then. It made me swear to never work in retail again in my life.

When you work in retail, you learn this very quickly...

The Academy in Alexandria is the one place in that town at which I don't mind shopping . The check out lanes are the fastest I have ever been through and if they see the lines starting to have more than a couple people backed up the will call all employees that are available to open a few more registers.
