Memoirs of a Grocery Clerk (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781482650075)

Most of us have experienced a day when ou life path changes, through no fault of our own and with out the ability to stop it from happening. This is the story of such a day, in a small family owned grocery store in Mill Valley, California. The four store chain is about to be bought by a bigger chain, a common occurence in the 1980's San Francisco Bay Area. The news that this piece of gossip is coming true effects all of the employees. Located conveniently across the street from the local Jr. College, the coeds, hippies, and snobby socialites make up some of the interesting hodgepodge that are the customers. The crew that inhabits the store during their various shifts have there own peculiarities, and give an amusing and ridiculous behind-the-scenes view of what really happens in this grocery store. Before scanner technology, rewards cards, and plastic grocery bags, the blue collar jod of a retail grocery clerk was a solid career path. Interacting with the customers on good days and bad, with their unending supply of personality quirks, made every day special. If you have ever worked in a grocery store or have the occasion to show in one, this book is for you. It'll definately make you laugh, might even bring a tear to your eye, but it is absolutely the best grocery store book ever written. Maybe the only grocery store book ever written....
