Retail, Food Service or Construction? Toughest Gig?

Labour Day long weekend coming up as we honour the workers of the world.

And I want to know what’s the toughest job out there – retail, food service or construction?

Is working a retail job in a store and constantly re-folding clothes or re-stocking shelves the worst? (Especially at Christmas)

Or is working around a hot kitchen or dealing with “hangry” customers in food service the worst?

And I threw in construction because you’re working outside a lot in scorching hot weather or in major downpours like what we saw yesterday.

What’s your take on the 3 sectors of industry?
