Cashier Memoir
I started working in the Home Electronics department a few months ago. Since then, the great things that customers do and say have increased tenfold. I really should have thought about blogging about it then, but only a few weeks ago did the thought cross my mind. And now it's almost over. In six hours' time, I shall be free from working in retail forevermore.... or at least, probably until I finish my masters. And now I hear that the genre "cashier memoir" is taking the world by storm (mostly Europe so far) so I haven't even been the first person to think of making something out of my experiences, so I don't have to feel as though the last 2 years of my life were a complete waste. Nevertheless, the fact that I am not the first person do write about it won't stop me from doing so. I have to do something to make the last 2 years worth it. So I shall begin by telling stupid customer stories and reflecting on my time, now that I've escaped. Almost. Must go find my lovely black apron now, work starts in 50 minutes.
