    Have you ever worked a retail job? If so, when? For how long? How old were you? (I understand if these questions are too personal)

      Yep, for several years when I was what might be called an entry level employee. Which in itself was the best lesson. I learned quickly what I did not want to be, thus a little impetus.

        Did you want to work on holidays?

          Probably not, but didn't really "want" to work any day.

            Yeah, working blows.

            Please pardon this vulgar question but how much did you make when you worked in retail?

            In late 60,s less than 2 bucks as I recall, seems maybe 1.50- 1.75/hr, long time ago. I was young had a good time didn't matter then. No one made enough to feed a family in those positions, wasn't meant to, no one expected to.

            I worked retail late 90's into early 00's while in school part-time making somewhere around $8/hr. I never had anyone but myself to support but certainly had co-workers who supported families on a similar salary. Times have really changed.
