Here's What I Learned Working Retail
Unlike many kids who work a retail job during their teenage years, I did not have my first experience in a store until my mid-to-late 30s. It was an eye-opening experience that showed me both the best and worst of humanity.
In my two years running New England's largest toy and hobby store, I spent a lot of time interacting with customers and employees. I saw people of all ages experience the delight of discovery, and the type of joy that's usually reserved for little kids. I also witnessed just how petty, awful, and unaware of their fellow humans a few people can be.
