One of the things I am enjoying about working in retail at a Fabric store is the people I am getting to talk to.
Since starting I have helped:
1. A former magician who now has a business making props for magicians (bought 2 bolts of black felt)
2. an animator who is designing and creating her own quilts (bought multiple colours of quilting fabric)
3. A knitter (who asked me for help and bought buttons)
4. A gay biker looking man planning his wedding for next Christmas (who bought all blue, silver and white fabric and big felt snowflakes)
5. A beautiful 65 year old going away on a cruise (who bought chiffon)
6. A young man making a green sceen so he could make videos (he is entering a contest- bought 10 m of green twill)
7. A young man who wanted to get his motorcycle seat recovered (he bought vinyl and commissioned me to sew it)
8. Another young man who bought his Dad a car for Christmas and bought 10m of red vinyl to make a big bow around it!
These are the people who have stood out but I really enjoy helping all the customers! I never thought I would! Not only do I cut and sell fabric. I also get to advise, give my opinion, and just admire.
Of course my feet are still sore and the arthritis in my fingers aches at the end of a day.
Minor trade offs I'd say.
