I'm thinking that I want to write about working in retail. Like I've stated in class before, I worked in retail for almost 3 years. (3 years too long, if you ask me). Within those short years, I have had so many ridiculous experiences, and have gained so many different perspectives on the human race (lol). I want to incorporate stories that I experienced first hand, involving the customers as well as the staff. There was a time when I was so close to my co-workers, that it made the experience of working in retail almost pleasant. There was a downside to it, though, because when one of my managers got fired suddenly, it ripped our store apart and completely ruined our morale for a while.
There is so much to retail that many people do not get to see, unless they have worked in retail themselves. The dynamic of the staff has a lot to do with how well the store is run, which is something that many customers do not realize. If a staff is not being treated properly, then the work that is required is not going to be 100%. I would like to take my readers inside retail, and give them an idea of the issues that I saw. I want to talk about certain memorable customers (such as the lady who threatened to urinate on the floor-another memorable story of mine). I also want to include stories about my former co-workers, because ultimately, they have a huge impact on how well a person does at a job. I may have a hard time from turning this into an "I" essay, but I'm really going to not focus on MY personal feelings, but rather, the experiences that were encountered around me.
