Nothing on that.
Yeah, very, yes, very, very, very Boris Johnson-esque. So you worked there. So I worked there in college. I would probably say my junior and senior year maybe. Through the summer?
Through the summer... I think I might only work there a year. So it was probably like September to like a little bit in the summer. And then I'd have to drive down there because then I wouldn't live down there in the summer. Right. So I'd live in fucking... I'd live in bucks at my ma's house. And I would drive... I would take her... That was when I was in the bravada.
I would drive her bravada down. I'd have to pay for parking. That was like 25 bucks. I was making, you know... Wow, $70 a day.
Yeah, it still is. They do the Christmas things there. That was when you really wanted to put a gun in your mouth. All right, hold on. Let me listen. Man, they did a Christmas show every hour on the 15th, so it would be like 1-15, 2-5th, and he's fucking mouth, what time is the show coming? Little kid shitting himself. Lady, you wouldn't know a Van Heusen if it hit you in the face.
Yeah, but that was good because you're just out right outside, but then you're just in the streets of Philadelphia. You're just fucking catching heaters, just fucking fighting the zombies. So here, let me put this. Before we get into it, this came in from Sean. This just goes, I think, to sum up because you were never a retail man. I mean, you were your modeling career.
Obviously, I don't want to. I don't want to. But that's more entertainment business. That's not. I was paid as an actor.
Yes, I do. Thanks for thanks for checking in with me, though, after five years.
What year did you go to Paris?
What year was that?
She still has all her teeth, I bet, unlike some people at the table. Sir, if I spray this cologne on me, am I going to lose all my teeth like you?
I would argue that's more customer service. That's not retail. You're not really selling. That's retail. No, listen. Hey. Hey, we're paying wholesale prices, I can tell you that. Sure. That is more customer service. You're not selling. You're renting. Landscaper, waiter, laborer. So just say no. Why can't you just say no to the question?
Can't return those. I'm just saying you weren't in the shit, man. No. Okay. As very eloquently put, this is from Sean. I know we hear a lot about the perils of restaurant workers often on the show, rightfully so. Yes. But I worked at an FYE while in high school slash college, 08 to 2012, and I think people forget about the trenches of mall retail workers we're in on any given Friday night.
God love you. I'm 33 and still have a group chat with four of the people I worked with back then. And every once in a while, someone will bring up repressive memories like a Vietnam flashback. For reference, I was also active duty military, and the vibe of both group chats are unnervingly similar at times. I get it, man. There is, like, I remember at Macy's, I didn't know retail.
I had never worked retail like that, I don't think.
No.
No, I think the suit people got commission. Like, if you're selling suits, you're moving units. You're moving DK and Y. You weren't standing behind the counter.
I was in men's active wear. I was in charge of dungarees. Would you fold and put back on the shelf? Because you're not just standing behind. You're not checking out. No, yeah, but listen, this guy has never worked retail. Let me explain something. Would you gift wrap? Let me explain something. No, you go up on the third floor. They gift wrap it for you for free. Just show them the receipt.
I could never do those curls.
We had a circle sign and say that was the big thing. So all these major big box retailers want information from, you know, from the customer. Here we go. So you had to put. So hold on. I worked. I worked at Macy's in Center City, Philadelphia, probably 2007. What would that be, 2007, 8-ish? Probably 2008, right?
