HMV
Being a staff member at HMV takes commitment. Commitment to watching a lot of films, playing a lot of video games and listening to a lot of music. In short, it’s the perfect kind of commitment and makes it seem like a dream job to most retail workers.
While you love every second of it though, it’s not without its pitfalls and problems. Some days the fine line between being a super-professional retail employee and the laid back Empire Records layabout that most of your customers expect is a very difficult one to walk, but you power through because you’re a juggernaut of dedication to the cause.
Without you, who would give the public the recommendations they need to ensure that they can make the most of water cooler time at work? You’re a bastion of consumer culture in everything from movies to t-shirts and your word is law.
