...A very interesting story. Thank you for sharing.<br /><br />I've always been shy yet end up with the cashiering jobs where I talk to people all day, or jobs with answering phones (which makes me anxious). Yet it does help in the long run.

But we had to do it with every sale--even if they already had a Sears Card, we had to pitch the next card up, "Sears Platinum" or whatever it was called. <br /><br />Still, like you, the retail experience helped me overcome my introvertedness. And that's priceless.<br /><br />Have a great day!<br />Stelios V.

Getting to know your co-workers and having them help you sounds lovely.<br /><br />My first summer job (high school) was filling orders in a parts stock room. I made 75¢ an hour (Yeah, that was a while ago.)<br /><br />Blessings and Bear hugs!<br /><a href="http://bears-noting.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Bears Noting</a>Rob-bearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00171692478879522588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1196113258476427173.post-3389680914812541462013-04-01T10:32:09.064-07:002013-04-01T10:32:09.064-07:00I really like the simplicity of your post.

When I worked at Annie Sez I hated having to bug customers to sign up for credit card. But my favorite part to this day is talking with the customers. I work for a major retail company. We do bridal registries and my favorite thing in the world is when I have a bridal couple. I get to spend a couple of hours just chatting with them and basically help them shop for their registry. Look forward to seeing your other memories you post.<br /><br />Melissa @ http://mommyismessy.blogspot.com/Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12073454947459928846noreply@blogger.com
