Sales Associate

My first job as a thrift store cashier taught me way more than just running a register. I got to handle donations, figure out pricing, and chat with all kinds of interesting customers hunting for deals. It was pretty neat seeing what treasures people would bring in - everything from vintage clothes to rare collectibles. The job definitely sharpened my people skills and taught me how a retail business runs. Plus, working with donated goods showed me how one person's unwanted items could become someone else's perfect find.
