its even better if you ski with someone like this.

1. you get to watch them walk up to the cashier with 4 trays filled with $30 of food....after its discounted %50. and have the lady look at him and know its obviously not all his, but the weekly occurance for some reason doesnt make her say anything

2. you get to enjor your $2.50 fries after paying $2.50 and not $5



but any job is better than no job. money is gooooood. urs sounds pretty chill. i also work in a sports store so its aight. but u get some duuuuumb ass people, and ignorant ones too
