So after 4 years away, I have re-entered the world of retail.
"Worddork why would you go back after your escape?"
Gald you asked. It seems that being a substitute teacher in a craptastic economy is no way to make a living.
"So where are you working?"
At my nearest big chain craft store. So far I have worked two days, and have already dealt with two sucky customers. Yay me!
"Are you still subbing?"
God help me, yes, in fact day 2 of craft store work was after teaching 2nd grade. I worked at craft store from 6 to 11 that night, went home, crawled into bed and got up at 6:30 am to go teach 2nd grade again. Somebody, please shoot me.
"Do you like working at the craft store?"
Yes. Love the Christmas music that plays, although as the month goes on that might change. The glitter that gets EVERYWHERE, not loving that part.
"How's your sanity still intact?"
Yeah, never really had much sanity, so not much to loose.
"How are the customers?"
Had two sucky ones, and overheard one customer yell "The people here are asholes!" as she left with her child, who had asked one of the cashiers to call for her over the PA system after he got separated from her. The child was in tears when he asked for help. Real nice lady, way to be an adult.
