i worked for a major drug store chain while in jr. college...

i was a store manager for another major drug store chain right out of college, and a department manager for a major retail chain prior to beginning my career with the feds...

i tended bar as a part-time job for many, many years...

i care not to ever get involved in retail again, but i loved working a bar and would do it again in a heartbeat if the right situation presented itself. damn, what a great job tending bar is...
