I think the ideal situation would be to work in a bookstore that has a coffee shop in it.
yes, this.
Buffy: How was school today? Dawn: The usual. A big square building filled with boredom and despair.
Buffy: Just how I remember it.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Oh, and some bookstore/coffee shops have CDs and DVDs....

But then people want the book with the blue cover, or the movie with the guy. From last year?

Can I call it a day and go home now?
Laura, I hereby use my authority to send you home. Alas, my authority is too tiny for that to work. The furthest I can send you is to play online. I hope that will do.
I always liked cutting the pizza into an odd number of slices.
Oh, I like that!

The only food service type jobs I had were in college.
I worked as a dishwasher my first semester, first shift (7:30am) Saturday and Sunday morning. Oy.
People I Still Hate: The students who would fill a glass (not a bowl, not a saucer) with peanut butter and then stub their cigarettes out in it.
Later I moved to the drink line. There was an unfortunate incident when the hose on the ten gallon milk dispenser pulled out and suddenly there was a small tsunami of milk runnelling down the line.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
My very first job at 16 was at a McDonald's. It was brand new and clean and shiny. It really wasn't a bad job. I worked there for 6 months in between marching band seasons.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
The summers I was 17 and 18, I worked as a cashier at Hardee's. I didn't eat french fries for a full year thereafter because I was so sick of the smell (which would permeate my hair and skin--ugh).
