true... I remembered some of what I learned selling cameras when I have to sell an idea to a client these days, watching facial expressions and dealing with "objections" can be similar amongst people buying retail and people buying design services sometimes.....
Also, it seems to be long past the idea that working retail is a step down the prestige totem pole, at least I hope.... some people's freaky relatives may think your life is in the toilet if you're working retail, but I don't think future employers see it as a fault....
Also, you may end up soon in an agency designing point of purchase displays, and possibly save the agencies work, as you know exactly how those things interact with actual customers if youve ever worked retail.... i.e. if it's too complicated to assemble, the manager throws it in the trash and nobody sees it.
