Eventually: “Sorry, guys, I have to close the store and lay you all off. For some reason we’ve been losing a lot of customers and I can’t pay the bills any more.”
Worked the Christmas rush in a large department store. The best was when a sweet grandmother searched to find me because I was the height and build of her grandson. Sold her a nice blazer. Met many nice people.
Years ago I was in an auto parts store in Florida, desperately trying to think of an intelligent way to ask about a part I needed for my car. One of the young service reps. approached me and with a smile said, “You’ve got that look of a deer caught in the headlights. Let’s see if we can figure out what you need…”
He was as good as his word and within minutes solved my problem without making me feel like a first-class mechanical moron.
I told his manager what a gem of an employee he had.

Many years ago I was manager of the toy department in a huge well known store. Worstplace to be at Christmas. People are sheer lunatics.
