i mean do you have a street address or anything?

Working in a supermarket, in my experience anyway, was pretty similar to the movie "Go". Lots of drugs, booze, chicks, sexy time, house parties followed by absurd adventures where people wind up in the hospital.

lots of 'paper or plastic' condom jokes?

If you want easy access to all sorts of drugs, work at a pizza place (or befriend someone who does)

the Lee's in Newtown was a drug haven forever. Those guys made weed smoking the #1 most required job skill.

I never worked retail. I applied a few times but never ended up working in any of the places because I got some other crappy job. I mostly worked at my father's printing business in West Philly.

I worked retail- assistant manager at a Vitamin World store during my last year of seminary. I started in August, they closed the store in October. Long run there.

I was horrible at the job, cause I wouldn't lie to get people to buy stuff they didn't need.

Friendly's as well

pretty much the only reason i worked there.

Record Town, Saturday Matinee, The Wall - a lot of free stuff, especially when i was the only ahem, suburban, working at our store at the gallery mall on market. i'll have to see if i can find my pic of busta rhymes and our staff. it's kind of hilarious.

unloaded trucks at Sears for a summer. so much fun- work for an hour in the morning, play hockey all afternoon while waiting for delivery calls.

McDonald's (three days)
Superfresh
The Wall/FYE
Genaurdi's
Red Robin

CyberWarehouse, a short-lived regional computer sales/service chain.

Remember how much condoms cost back in '98?
Nope
Me either, we never used em.

Two of my former students were subbing in the building today. Life is short.

Kelly's is where my family gets our ritual Christmas Eve dinner from since Ruhling's on Rising Sun Ave. closed down

Buck Hotel, man.

I worked at CVS and had Al Rothenberg, the injury lawyer, demand a refund for his Dunkin Donuts sandwich because he waited too long in line for smokes.

ugh. his firm was in the lawyer's league that we umpired. He makes ever lawyer stereotype ever seem tame by comparison. One game, when the season was almost over, he tried to gip me out of $7. "How much"? He asked. "$14" I replied. He handed me $7. I said something and he said "well the other team pays the other half, right"? (Total was $28). This was well into the season after he had paid many other umpires (including me) the $14.
