Analyzin' miss clairol, fendi'd down mascara on, assistant manager in paragon
In high school, I worked at Abercrombie & Fitch, and once I graduated from business school at USC, I started a company with my partner and had a nine-to-seven job.
My first job was working Saturdays in Sports Soccer in Newcastle. I only used to work three or four hours a week, so it wasn't a huge amount, but I do remember spending the first pay I got on a new pair of trainers.
If athletics wasn't an option, I'd probably work at like a surf shop in Hawaii on the beach, just dishing out surf boards.
I applied to drama school when I was about 18 and didn't have any luck anywhere. They basically turned me away and said I had a bit of growing up to do. I went back to Aberystwyth and did my growing up by spending eight months working in Peacocks.
I got turned onto the 'Pat Garrett' soundtrack when I worked retail back in the day.
I worked at Suncoast Video for two years during the summer in high school.
I worked for a big department store, and strangely, on my first day, they put me in charge of Christmas wrapping. I didn't know how to wrap a present and make it not look like it fell off a truck.
I worked at Ikea as a customer service rep for two years and loved it.
I remember my first job, when I was working in a retail store down there, growing up in Laurel, Mississippi. I was making, like, $2.15 an hour. And I was taught how to responsibly handle those customer interactions.
I used to actually work in a comic book stores in New York.
If you're Ronan Keating, who was working in a shoe shop when I discovered him, but end of thinking you're George Michael, then you need to be stopped.
I'm so obsessed with Apple, and the chance to work with the people who really created Apple retail is the retail opportunity of a lifetime.
I had a job for a year, working in a high-quality whiskey-and-wine shop.
I was working at Nordstrom Rack, Borders Books, and I was cleaning yachts on the weekends for private parties and being a busboy. I had to break down the tables and roll the forks up in napkins. And I was still doing standup.
I worked at Sears in the Woodfield Mall as a gift wrapper. I'm actually a great gift wrapper, and the customers were so nice to me. I was only 16, and eventually Sears put me in customer service because I was so friendly.
I worked at Bergdorf Goodman doing interior decoration.
I worked at a Books-a-Million in Louisville for several years.
I went through a Billy Idol phase. I had white hair when Peter Rizzo hired me at Barneys.
I worked at Big 5 Sporting Goods, selling shoes and stuff like that, for a couple of summers.
I was pulling in $80 a week after taxes working in a frozen yogurt store.
I had a Saturday job in Barratts shoe shop at the age of 15.
I'm a writer who stacks cat food for a living. It's true: I have a master's degree in creative writing, I've published two critically successful books, and I get paid to replenish the shelves of my local food co-op with pet food, sponges and toilet paper. Nine days out of 10, I do it quite happily.
After leaving school, I got a job in a department store not dissimilar to Grace Bros in 'Are You Being Served?'
I worked at a school supply store as a cashier.
