I feel sorry for that girl being expected to do everything.
Many years back in my younger days, I worked retail, and in many of my workplaces we were expected to do many things all at once. In one shop I worked in, I was often the only person working there alone and was expected to ring up people's purchases, WRAP them if they wanted gift wrapping - while also having to interupt my wrapping to ring up the register on another person's purchase.....while the person wanting the gift wrapping was getting impatient for me to finish wrapping it.....help with another person's questions about items, and also take stock checks around the store, and go to the storeroom down in the basement -- leaving the shop unmanned! -- to get new stock.
Not surprisingly in all this, some kid came in and stole some expensive stock from the back of the glass display counter while I wasn't (ie, wasn't able to be!) looking for thieves at work too! I got a lecture about "multi-tasking," and the losses had to come out of my wages, which were already miniscule.
At another similar small shop, I was also the only person there. The owner was upstairs in the office and showed irritation and resentment just for my closing the shop to take my hour lunchbreak. If I ate my food up in the office he was really passive aggressive about the fact that we were closed for an hour, like he's losing all that business just because the law says I'm entitled to my hour! He wished he could just break the law by not letting me break for lunch at all.
I ended up going outside for my lunch, but because I couldn't afford sit-down places, I just brought my own sandwich and went and sat by the canal for an hour in the freezing cold, because I couldn't stand being around my boss for an hour I was entitled to close for my lunch.
Retail work is horrible. My soul died a thousands deaths in that part of my life.
