[QUOTE="clembo, post: 999210, member: 8033"]Why would a shop be closed on Sunday? - because we like a day off too. The shop I work in is closed on Wednesday and Sunday. Realize that a coin shop is not the chain gas station that is open 24/7. I've managed a few of those and fired enough people for stealing cash, cigs etc. when the boss (me) wasn't around. This is usually done by stopping in unanounced on your day off. Now imagine you own a coin shop with millions in inventory. Do you just hire people off the street based on a resume? Nope, you hire people like me that have a decent knowledge of coins and a proven record of being trustworthy based on other jobs I had involving large amounts of money and inventory. I didn't ask my boss for a job. He asked me if I wanted a job there. People with my background are few and far between. There are many that would actually qualify on this forum and there are a few of us that have been lucky enough to be asked to work in a shop. In our shop you can NOT use our bathroom as it's behind the counter and very few are allowed back there period. There's a restaurant down the block. If we were to be open 7 days a week my boss, one coworker and I would work seven days a week. I'm getting lazy as I get older. Five days a week is enough.[/QUOTE]
