Most of the clerks that work in a sex store are very approachable. I didn't like it when people came in and were completely shy. A friendly "hello" is always nice. As far as asking questions to the clerk, just make sure your question is genuine, like "do you have any videos starring Jenna Jameson?". One guy came in and asked me if I liked to look at porn, which was kind of pushing the line. We don't really like questions about our personal lives, just about the products.

Ok so several questions about weird experiences I've had. One time this guy came in and said he was from out of town. He asked me if we had any swinger magazines. At this time, I wasn't aware of what that meant so I asked him. He claimed to be a swinger himself and told me all about it. He obviously got the wrong idea because he thought I was interested in becoming a swinger, when really I just wanted to know what it was. He planned to be in my town for about 3 weeks, so he came in all the time when I was working and gave me information about swingers clubs and stuff. I politely accepted because I didn't want to be rude, but it was getting kind of creepy how he always came in on my shift. Then one night he came in with a gift for me. I opened it and it was a sex toy that he bought from another store! I was floored. I didn't know what to say. He was like "well I wish I could use it on you" which was kind of creepy. Then he left and I never saw him again. Little does he know I kept the toy

There was a man who came in all the time and he was a cross dresser. He called himself "Julie." One day he ordered lingerie and a pair of high heeled shoes! Hey whatever floats your boat

This guy came in practically every day to rent porn. He was about 50 years old. He talked a lot to me, which I didn't mind because there usually wasn't a whole lot of work to get done. He admitted to me one day that he had a huge crush on me and make the effort to come in whenever he saw my car outside the store. Woa, can we say stalker?

It didn't take me long at all. In fact, I couldn't wait to look at all the products they had there. Whenever we got toy orders in, like vibrators and stuff, we had to test them to make sure they worked before they went on the shelf (and no, not test them in THAT way- mind out of the gutter please). I was so excited when an order came in because I got to play with everything!
After working at my job for so long, nothing made me flinch, not even the man who bought fake vaginas all the time.
And yes, I still love porn. Who could get sick of looking at naked people?

Ha ha. Believe me it was quite tempting to do so. Luckily though, I received a huge discount on the products (something like 80% off), so if I really wanted to take something home it wasn't to expensive. I also got free rentals for the movies too! Awesome!
