There's more to it when you work in retail, apparently.

There wasn't when I had work experience in a music store. Maybe boxes have special needs in Scotland.

They just have to follow procedure so you can get a certificate. Flipcharts and all that.

Scotland owns this thread. Other countries need to get their shit together.

That's work experience in a little music shop. I have a contract working in UK's biggest supermarket so of course they are going to give you extensive training on how to lift a box.

Yeah major retailers always give you inane training that you don't need to cover their asses in case you throw your back out lifting a box. You can't sue them for your troubles when you had the proper "free" training provided by them.

Is it an independent music store? Is it a gigantic music store with many stores within in Sweden?

Size typically doesn't matter unless its a chain- a corporation is far more likely to have scrutinized training sessions than a single store.

Not saying I know anything about your situation, just coming off of like 7 years of retail experience- all of them working for a chain in some form or another- I've seen my fair share of "don't stub your toes" videos
