I'm genuinely good at this -- I know the floor, I know the customers, I keep things running. But every time someone asks what I do and I say retail, I watch their face do that little thing, like it's not a real job. I've heard it so many times that some days I've started to believe it myself.
More people experience this than they realize.
You're good at your job, but everyone treats retail like it doesn't count, and you're believing them.
