There is nothing "good" about being a Clerk. I spent six years of Hell at Best Buy in every capacity from lowly clerk to general manager, and there is I repeat nothing "good" about it. Unless your definition of good is being shit on constantly by the general public. Sure it isnt all bad, but as a general rule of thumb, RETAIL SUCKS!
: (Yes, that is a Mel Brooks reference).
: I was just thinking that being a clerk isn't actually as bad as it appears. It's only the people that I deal with that suck. But I guess I'd put up with almost anybody for all the free movies I get. Plus I get free buttons, posters, and I just got a free t-shirt. Plus I just watched Titan A.E. the other night, and it's not available to the general public until tomorrow!
: So despite the crowds of annoying, ugly, smelly customers (many of whom have packs of sticky, whiny, ugly offspring), I guess that being a clerk isn't too bad. Except on rainy days, because that's when everybody in the whole town heads to the video store.
