Working in a hobby shop

[Prairie Trains]

Terry, working in a model trains only shop is lots of fun and especially if you are not an owner. When the deadbeats and chiselers come in you can tell them the boss would fire you if you did that. Or just refer them to the boss and tell them he is a really nasty person. The ones I hated would come in and tell you how much money they plan on spending in the store in the coming future. Then they will tell you that because of this you should give them a big discount on their first purchase, like fifty percent off (much less than store cost) and if you agree, the next time they come back they will tell you the store is making soooo much money off them that you should give them another big discount. And
when you quit giving them a discount on everything you will never see them again. But most days it is very enjoyable

Even the guys that come in to talk are quit often enjoyable. Winnipeg used to have a shop where one night a week a group of people came in and would buy a few odds and ends they might need and socialize for a while with the owner, and then all go to a restaurant for pizza and coffee. Good luck and hope you enjoy it like I did.
