Probably an unpopular opinion. I used to work at the store Kim Possible referred to as “Club Banana.” Sure the pay kind of sucked, but I loved the job.

We would get time on the clock to try on all the new clothing as it came in, and they would hold styling challenges where we could submit photos of different outfits for themes. We also had this cool system that would give rundowns of new products, season style guides, and upcoming promotions to the entire corporation, at every level of employment. Nobody ever came into the workday caught off guard.

I also found it really easy to laugh at the customers others didn’t seem to love, so I was able to come in like superwoman to save my fellow employees.

I honestly had such a great time in that environment and I miss it a lot. They shut down my store a few years ago, and the nearest one is about an hour away. I considered seeing if they’d have me part-time, but the money would hardly cover gas. I still have a million rewards points if I ever do decide to make the trek there.
