i worked at one that was open for not even a year in akron....answering phones....i never quite grasped the concept of the store---as nothing was OUT to pick up, just samples then you had to go over to another counter to wait for them to get things from the back---probably why it failed around here.....
my ACK! FLASHBACK!!! was because whereas i did my job fine, when i took my lunch in the lunch room i would sit and read a book and DID NOT TALK TO OTHERS and apparently they had an issue with that....i wasn't rude to anyone, i just sat in a corner and read a book and ate....i was off the clock, so??? but oh no, i was suppose to sit there and talk to people i had zero in common with....they even gave me a list of suggested conversation topics!!!! top one was 'sports', which i am not a fan of and oh no, i couldn't speak badly about sports!! then there was 'hunting', which i told them i was against, so no, i couldn't do that and a variety of other things i had zero interest in and/or abhorred.....
they did not, for whatever reason, think that i had the right to sit in a corner and read a book while i was off the clock in the lunch room....i was being anti-social---which i am....so i took to eating in my car in the parking lot and they threw a fit over that! so i just told them to basically take a hike! :D
