It would involve being able to whip some of the managers I worked for at
Sears when I was a kid. I realize they're probably dead by now, but
that's OK, they don't have to stand up.
The guy who ran the sheets+towels department is the exception -- he was
a good guy.

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

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.

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.

Only by idiots.

And others have enough of a clue to realise that it makes a lot of sense too.

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.

Having worked retail many years ago the main problem with working retail is
odd work hours. I would like to work in a retail store that is closed on
normal holidays, weekends, and closes at 6:00 p.m. From there, a Festool
and lumber combination store.

In my younger days I would have said, "Victoria's Secret" but now I
guess I wouldn't mind spending my paycheck on some of the tools I would
be selling at "Tool World".

BTDT, district manager over theatre managers. Once the managers are
whipped into shape, then the real joy comes from being able to walk
into a location, sit down to watch a movie, and be able to tell a
staff member to remove that annoying asshole two rows over who is
disturbing the movie for everyone, and KNOW that it will be done. Or-
to be able to tell someone switching auditoriums to get out and don't
come back. Or- to have the manager call kids parents to come pick
them up. Or- to face down a nouveu-rich yuppie threatening loss of
job to everyone and tell them it ain't going to happen and since they
have given you their card, that you plan to report their behavior to
THEIR employer.
Ultimate retail job? Maybe janitor. Work alone at night, no one
around to bother you, have the days free and a regular paycheck.

This is NOT the kind of post I expect to see in rec.woodworking. Not only
that, the other groups to which it was cross-posted have absolutely no
relationship with woodworking.
In other words, GO AWAY!

the employee discounts. The problem is that even with the discount you
are paying a high price and getting a low salary.
My first job was in a large retail chain when it was an entirely
different environment. Even though my job was not on the sales floor I
was told on day one that if a customer asked me a question I either had
to answer it or find someone who could. The flip side was that most
promotions came from within the store and if the company had a bad
quarter they did not lay off people as they were looking at the long
term picture.

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!"

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 wish I could remember his name. I remember the store manager's name
-- Owen Day. There was a slogan: "Sears Days are Day's days, so let's
get goin' with Owen." We had to say it in unison.

No, I'm frugal. Bruno's a woodworker. Or maybe it's Fernando... Did I

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.
