Sounds like the start of something really good!

Thanks everyone!

Today I tried a yucca chip. It didn't kill me! Tonight was mostly learning how to close up for the night, spraying produce, sweeping floors, etc. I scrubbed the bathroom sink so it looks like it belongs in a healthy place. Oh, and since I'm sometimes a neatfreak, I enjoyed pulling all the products to the front of the shelves. Not rocket science. The register intimidates me a bit, but I'll get the hang of it. Organic produce is pretty!

The store is a smaller branch of a small health food store in another town. If I can get more hours, I'll get benefits (they pay into it, I pay the rest), 401K (they contribute), paid time off, paid lunch, and a store discount. I worked for 23 years for a major supermarket chain, in the corporate office, and no one got a store discount.

Thank goodness Whole Foods or Trader Joe's hasn't made it to this town yet. This is the only store of this kind in the area and it seems to be steadily busy.

Congratulations on the new gig, Ponymom, and your expansion into yucca chip awareness!
