Alive!
Well, I actually survived a big double whammy: the store held a night owl/early bird sale (one of our most popular ones) on the same weekend as North Carolina's Tax-Free Weekend.
It was a helluva week. 32 hours, and I took on what amounted to an extra shift. And I found out the hard way how many people are in the Triad because I swear most of them were in that store at one point or another.
However, to anyone reading this and looking for work: if you're the type that hates to leave work undone (like me), don't go into retail. the work is never finished, and you'll simply end up tearing your hair out in frustration.

I started out at $7.00/hour; I haven't moved very far from that. I've heard that Target starts out more, and Costco starts out at $11-13/hour. Of course, the competition for jobs at Costco is fierce. Generally, however, the rate of pay for retail lags way behind other industries.
