Now a lot of people may not think that working in retail is so great but I really do love my job! I'm at a company whose focus is all on the customer and their experience from the second they walk in the job. It's a really cool store that sells gadgets, toys, sports kits, science kits, astronomy sets, telescopes, books and Australiana (such as boomerangs, plush animals, maps, hats, other Australian souvenirs and knick knacks). One of our big focuses is on demoing products to both attract customers into the store and to show them how certain products look/feel/work. It's a really cool idea and it also means that the staff get paid to play with toys. It's a pretty sweet deal really.
Today I had a short three-hour shift and while I also had other tasks to complete I did spend a lot of my shift literally playing with products. I was blowing touchable bubbles, piloting a remote control UFO and controlling a remote control dragon. It was really great and at the end of the day I also had to take home a telescope to test it. It really is a tough deal :P .
It sucks that the company is closing down but while it lasts it's great :)
