I would love to work in a martial arts store so I could kick idiots in
ass who post stupid questions such as this. Then I would finish them
off by breaking each of their fingers so they couldn't touch their
keyboards again for a good long while. This would give them time to
think before posting dipshit questions like again.
I'm sure the people on the woodworking group would probably applaud my
desire, too.
I used to go to a theatrical ticket agent and would depart thinking,
what a job!!
a. customer either takes or leaves it, (picked seat from a chart.)
b. no quibbling on price.
c. stock can be housed in a couple of shoeboxes, at least at the
time....
d. no returns.
e. low overhead
f. miniscule - store was about 15 square feet.
f. one person operation.
g. able to refuse telephone orders or 'put it on hold - I'll be right
down".
Not sure what his cut was, but I bet he slept well at night.
My second choice would be perfume shop - for a lot of the above
reasons.

I wish I could remember his name. I remember the store manager's name

get goin' with Owen." We had to say it in unison.

Sorry. I won't bite. I worked in a store for three years. There wasn't
much I liked about it. You meet a few nice people. Most people treat you
like you don't exist, and you are guaranteed to run into a few each day
who seem to live to make the lives of sales staff miserable.

A lot of guys hate to go into lingerie shops. They might be surprised to find
out how accommodating the sales girls can be, I was once looking for lingerie
for my wife and the girl offered to model things for me. Damn, I wish I hadn't
been too shy to go for it.

I was privileged to know the Ultimate retail store person. Does that count?
I could walk in, tell her what I needed and ask her to "do me". Didn't
matter whether I was going to speak to the governor or present awards at a
goat roping. She could do it. She knew her merchandise, she knew her
clients. She was a treasure. Polly

Wrong. And those who read more than one of the groups that its posted to,
and who use a decent newsreader, get it marked as read in all the groups
once they read it the first time if its crossposted, and dont when it isnt.
And plenty of fools dont like top posting as well.

A couple years ago the missus was trying on some clothes at a shop generally
suited for young women. I was lingering around the dressing rooms to give my
input on the rags. After a while the young gal watching the rooms said if I
was going to be hanging around, I could help. I told her, "Sure, just what
you need, some 40+ year old pervert watching the dressing rooms!"

I would love to work in a martial arts store so I could kick idiots in
ass who post stupid questions such as this. Then I would finish them
off by breaking each of their fingers so they couldn't touch their
keyboards again for a good long while. This would give them time to

first my apologys to usenet in general for cross posting a
reply to this, not how i usually work.
i'm hoping that by crossposting i'll be sure that Karen
reads this somewhere.
FYI, Karen,
crossposting in usenet is usually considered bad manners.
it is also annoying to some folks and highly annoying to
other folks.
next time please consider your audience before you post a
generic question.
you're more likely to get the response you want by aiming
your question
to the audience within each group individually rather than
crossposting.

Hmmm! When I was in my teens, I worked in retail for several stores. It
was what propelled me to earn a college degree so I would never have to
work in retail again. Working in retail sucks.
I guess if I had to do it, I would move to Las Vegas and get a job in
the CVS drug store that's across from the Hard Rock casino. Lots of
really hot cocktail waitresses and dealers who work at the Hard Rock
casino shop there. I figure it could be a good pick up spot! :)
