I gladly await the day when I will no longer wait on people for a living. One of my coworkers almost went off on a woman in the fitting room yesterday when we were working together, so we decided that I would handle it. The woman went out literally ten times to change the sizes or something of the clothes she had. I always let people go out to ( Read more... )

I interviewed at Newbury Comics on Newbury Street on Sunday before I went to work at H&M. Sort of a whim.
