"From Couture To Kohls"

I love my new job as a bookseller, as I worked with all women for 6 years.  Now I work with men and women off all ages, tenures, and backgrounds.  There is a man in his 50’s-60s that writes Young Adult novels, a girl in her early 20’s that insures horses, and a college student who wants to be an english teacher in Italy.  Some have been there 11 years since the store opened, while others are brand new college students hired only as seasonal help.  Everyone wears jeans, sneakers, and casual tops.  No one could care less if you are wearing Joe’s Jeans, Seven For All Mankind, True Religion from high end stores, or So and Levis from Kohls.  A co-worker from the cafe got his blue work shirt from Kohls for $5 I got my jeans there for $25.  The job is based on your knowledge of current and past literature, current media trends which would include the Kindle competitors the Kobo and Sony e-readers. As for cafe lingo and trained taste buds, it’s Mint Caramel Mocha Latte’s and pudding bread.  As the clock ticks, my days of working in luxury retail are drifting out to sea.  It’s official, I’ve finally gone from Prada to James Patterson.
