Worked in retail in various positions and I would also recommend the retail experience for any aspiring entrepreneur, especially folks tumbling down the e-commerce rabbit hole.

- manyxcxi 10y agoI think it's a huge character builder. You realize that some people are outright assholes and the most annoying thing you can do to them is keep your cool and kill them with kindness. Others are actually stupid, but most are just uninformed about whatever it is when they're 'bothering' you with questions. There are so many sysiphian tasks in retail that you either come to the point where very little can shock you, or you're just kind of broken.
