Billy has worked in retail for most of his life, starting out with a stint at a chain bookstore that no longer exists in this world full of online shopping opportunities.
He liked the bookstore environment, but Billy had a lot of unruly clients during major book releases if they couldn’t get a copy to enjoy everyone else.
With those coveted book releases such as the latest Harry Potter hardcovers, it was first-come, first serve. Folks would camp out overnight just to get their copies. Billy will never forget those release nights, with some fond nostalgia mixed with scary images of 20-somethings tripping over each other like children in a candy store. He also spent those nights working alongside some of his closest friends in high school. But Billy is happier being employed at this grocery store, which has been his job since he was 21 years old. Billy is one of the junior supervisors and he enjoys his job everyday as he gets to work in an office with giant windows that overlook the parking lot. There’s a lake behind the street that is adjacent to the back edge of the store’s giant parking area. For a grocery store job, the view is phenomenal. Last night Billy had to work late because the store was getting a modern HVAC system installed. The ductwork was cleaned by the ductwork cleaning crew right before the new HVAC system was installed. It took the better part of the evening to complete, but now the grocery store has a phenomenal heating and cooling system. The best part is Billy didn’t have to close the store to get the work completed, so he didn’t lose any company in the process.
