I'm so disappointed

On the sign advertising that the dollhouse place needed a builder, they neglected to mention that this would involve a lot of carrying 40-to-70 lb boxes up and down stairs. The owner also neglected to mention that during the interview

I do think that I could get up to speed, and I told the woman I'd be replacing that I was fine with starting to lift weights or something to speed the process. But yeah, with them getting into their busy season now (leading up to Xmas) and the fact that there's only 5-7 workers in the store, the owner felt that she needed someone who could be proficient from the beginning.

I'm really unimpressed that this wasn't mentioned in the ad, in the interview, or when I was discussing the job with the rest of the staff (before I applied) and I asked what was involved; I was told it was mostly building, some shipping, and possibly a bit of customer service. Nobody mentioned anything about unloading trucks, carrying heavy boxes up and down stairs constantly, etc.

I'm just so frustrated and disappointed and angry. I wouldn't have applied to begin with if this had been listed. Now I've spent roughly $120 on making the dollhouse, and about 40 hours of work detailing it, and 3 hours of unpaid labor today helping with shipping and such... for nothing. I was so excited about this job.

I probably could, but she did mention that during their busy season she might be able to hire me two days a week just to do shipping. It isn't worth the hassle to get the $30, and possibly screw myself out of some relatively easy very-part-time work during the holidays. :/
