Applying to work at ski shop?

working in a shop will turn you into twice the TOOL you already are.

GO FUCKING KILL YOURSELF!!!

Okay, so this dude was previously banned for doing exactly this. In this same thread. For 3 days. He's now banned again, for a week. Which leads me to the following question:

how are people actually stupid enough to think that no one will notice this kind of thing?

Exactly. I worked in shops for 4 or 5 winters. It was pretty fun at the time but I'm really happy that I don't any more. And honestly, clueless gapers are far better do deal with than douchebag know-it-alls.

Yeah, third that, but take it further - it's not just retail, it's like any other job, period. Or at least, any job where you have co-workers. If you have a good group of people to work with you have a good atmosphere and work will be fun. I had a good time in all of the shops I worked in though, the people who work in ski shops just tend to be good shit, I guess.

I bagged and stocked groceries full time for one summer, by far the worst job I have ever had. I worked at a ski shop for 3 winters, by far the best job I ever had. Of course that depends on alot of things, but thats my opinion on the matter. Everyone I know who worked as a lifty, ski instructor, and even park crew did not get to freeski much, and did not enjoy their job. I rented and tuned skis 40 hrs a week, got to ski every day at least from 12-4, if not all day, and loved every minute of it. I did not get a free pass since I chose to not work for the resort-owned shop, but that was an expense I planned on making, so it wasnt a problem. Some pple I worked with didnt like dealing with the customers, but I am a pretty patient guy and I never really thought it was a big deal.
