I worked at my college bookstore for one semester. I loved it. I was in receiving. Opening up crates of books, marking the prices, and then stocking them. I loved it. I got so distracted by all the subjects of all the books from history of ballet to zoology I couldn't help but leaf through them on the sly. Plus we sold lots of fiction from authors I had never heard of, especially foreign language books from places like Portugal and Poland and other places. I looked through those books as well not knowing a word in them.
We had a lot of fun but got yelled at a lot pulling pranks and stuff.
Oh yeah, I know you receiving room types! You guys have too much fun back there. Or at least that was the case in the good ol' days. I'm glad you have good bookstore memories too!
Mine was the campus bookstore, but not the basement level textbook store, the upstairs, literary section run by two hardcore book ladies who didn't really care about sales and held book signings with the likes of Tama Janowitz... :)

I worked in a bookstore in college, it was absolute heaven!
in some ways it really sucked. in other ways, it was the best job i ever had. working in the corporate office was really cool too!
