If The Shoe Fits ...
Back in high school, I worked in the shoe department at Sears in the mall. I started the summer before in Personnel but when school came around, I moved out to the sales floor. Into the shoe department. I was Al Bundy before the show ever existed.
This was all back in the time when Sears had those Super Saturday sales, they'd run giant flyers in the newspaper with scratch-off sections and you had to bring the flyer to the store before you scratched it off. Underneath could be an extra ten to fifty percent off our already low sales prices. (Sorry, that jargon stuck with me)
We just happened to have a Super Saturday sale my first week on the floor. This was not a good thing. You see, you almost needed a specialized degree to run the register at a Sears back then. There were no barcode scanners and here I was fresh out of register training, thrown into the busiest single sale day a Sears associate could experience.
