So at the store level, that's where I started. I started in the stores as a sales associate and they're called educators. And the front people at the time, this was years ago, but they were called DOFI, which is director of first impressions. And you had to greet someone within six seconds of them coming in. I love this.

And so like you can't, if you're coming in the door, I can't let you get past me essentially without like... morning. You're welcome. Like, thanks so much. So there's definitely a peppy energy. You're not, you're not wrong about that.

And I think like one of the things that always landed for me was it never felt like work because every, maybe because everyone was like-minded in a certain, but like I loved everyone. Like a lot of them are still close friends of mine today. And we had so much fun. Really? Like it was such, I would recommend any young person to like work in the stores if that's like the type of retail job.
