    Post Your first experience in retail

    What was your first experience in the retail sector? I've sold a couple computers I've outgrown, but my first real "business" is buying candy cheap at Costco and selling it to the kids in my high school.

    Supermarkets for 10 years (while in HS and getting 2 AA's).

    During that time, also worked as a tech in a small store for an a***ole (quit that job).

    Then, went to Staples in the electronics as a Tech Lead (doing upgrades, also).

    Worked with HP & APC doing retail marketing, training, and sales.

    Now, I'm a cel-phone tech.

    All, in retail.

    Oh yeah, retail sucks.

    I have been working as a bench tech at Best Buy for almost 3 years. I have a great time with the guys and gal I work with. That is just a part time job, I am also a tech for a school district.
