Then at work, when I AM actually working I hide my badge under my shirt just so no one asks for help. But that is my social anxiety at work there.Tonyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10470335666994594494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1754086061123343561.post-83082614669355714762011-12-22T10:23:27.590-07:002011-12-22T10:23:27.590-07:00I remember enjoying my time in retail.

It was even better when the cops said they weren't going to arrest anyone for wearing a blue polo (like Best Buy has the copyright or something), and said there was no reason for them to be there and walked away (probably snickering).J.Dayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09211819677106829508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1754086061123343561.post-25537104766225851182011-12-21T20:52:44.198-07:002011-12-21T20:52:44.198-07:00That was soooo cool.

But, people just standing around in a Best Buy uniform ignoring customers, is par for the course at the Montgomeryville, Pennsylvania, Best Buy. That's in the Airport Square in Montgomeryville. Pennsylvania. Best Buy.<br />On a related note, I have a Walmart vest that a friend made for me when I retired from the Navy. It looks IDENTICAL to a regular Walmart vest. One day, I hope to drum up enough courage to wear it in our Walmart and totally eff things up.<br />Better yet, I can wear it at the Best Buy. In Montgomeryville, Pennsylvania. About an hour northwest of Philadelphia.<br />DISCLAIMER: The above merely describes my experience at the aforementioned consumer electronics store. It is in no way meant to disparage said store. Especially since Circuit City went out of business.Al Penwasserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14052950809151897315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1754086061123343561.post-32890282663023622842011-12-21T18:36:59.536-07:002011-12-21T18:36:59.536-07:00You worked for a short stint?
