I don't envy you one bit. I busted tires at Montgomery Wards and Pep Boys while in school, rough work! Wait til you get to do inventory

My brother works at the Mason Road store. He was fortunate enough to make it to Tahoe this year. He is hoping to make Sr. soon. If you hang in there, it can be a very lucrative career. However, you will work, that's for sure.

My brother said they went through 50+ kegs in the first day, tried to sink a boat, and overheated his jetski in the first 48hours. Sounds pretty fun to me .
