A lot of weird things can happen when you work in a retail store. You can ask anyone who’s worked retail for a while, and they will have some stories. My daughter worked at a popular clothing store for a while here in Florida. She worked mostly around the fitting rooms. And she was constantly amazed – and annoyed – at the things people would do in those little rooms where you try on clothes. Oh yeah, some people would just leave the place a big mess. But there were other customers who took it a step further – and whatever you’re imagining right now, you’re probably correct. But what if you’re working in a retail environment, just a regular day, and you turn around and see a man with a gun pointed at you? How do you think you would react? Jen knows exactly what she would do, because that’s exactly what happened to her one day at work. Jen told this story on the podcast more than 3 years ago, which means this is a Flashback episode. After you hear her story, I’ll play a brief conversation I had with Jen just recently about what’s going on with her these days.
