I worked retail for about two years, and not only did I find it to be less horrible then people say, but I actually really enjoyed it (though to be fair, Dollar General is much ssmaller than a Wal-Mart or Target). I think it has to do with co-workers like fosterlager said. The last Manager I had at DG was one of the nicest people I'd ever met.

 

Oh my god, there really is an Eyeballkid... I thought it was like that "Kid in the helmet" that everyone talked about.. damn I thought you didn't exist.


I worked retail for a long time, and I hated it after I hit management, yet sadly to try to make ends meet and to get to Botcon, I looked at a second job in retail for the weekends. I was DENIED employment by two places on the basis of only working weekends. WHO in retail doesn't hire for weekends only?

 

I just poked a q tip in my eye and it hurt..so i guess i really do exsist, I need to see a doctor now...

 

Wow... Just... WOW.

 

I do have BFA in art. What are we at now (post) post modern art? Its all been done.
Photography helped. Unless you count movies as art.

 

Ah, Target. How I miss thee...no, not really.

Retail workers don't suck, but retail does.

 

Independent movies, maybe. But not Hollywood.

 

Somone needs to be banned from making threads in GD.

 

I'm an artist (I paint and draw) AND a professional graphic designer. Yes, my artistic career sometimes (often, actually) takes the backseat to my professional one. In no way do I feel like a sell-out or think less of my art because I make a living. I need to buy food, pay rent and bills, take ladies out on dates (I was gonna make a "a hot triplets" joke, but I don't want to have to explain it), do all kinds of activities, and collect toys. So I don't just sit on my ass waiting for fame and glory to come slap me in the face.
I think there's a quote from Pulp Fiction that's similar that one from Fight Club… I just can't remember it…


hehe…

 

I worked retail in college, parts of it I hated, other parts were ok. It was at Home Depot and I liked it because I got to help people and most of the time people were sincerely grateful.

But the job wasn't going anywhere and it wasn't a professional job. I'm not trying to knock retail workers, but at any point you can get fired, no matter how high you've worked yourself up the chain/management, and then what? There is nothing to fall back on unless you have and education or skill. I wasn't that worried about it because I was finishing college and had other plans.

 

eyeballkid threads are like ****** abortion.

i mean ******ation.

 

I think you got it right the fist time. First. FUCK
