your better off working at a super market. The pay will be similair, the chicks will be hotter, and the job will be easier.

i worked there for over a year... easy job, but be prepared to be hounded about selling warranty.... luckily i was good at it, but the pressure they put on the people who sucked wasn't fun...

I just enjoyed being around technology all day, and talking about it. For me, it was fun.

If you arn't good at it, you should start looking for another job right away. Or apply for a department other then sales.

Wow. I'm glad that never happened at the supermarket I worked at. Most of the people were pretty ugly (and/or also, or separately, under <17).
