Secret # 20 of 30 "I Used To Work Here."
I've worked for the postal service for a little over 8 yrs now. Prior to that I worked 15 yrs at our local adult video store. Managed it for about the last 4-5 yrs that I was there.
About a year after high school I was in the store with a friend of mine. He was visiting with the manager who was a friend of his... I was looking at the porn.
Karen(manager) asked Todd(friend) if he knew anyone who was interested in a part time job. He points to me. I fill out an application... next thing you know I'm a clerk at the porn shop...pretty much all of my family were shocked when finding this out. "Sweet little Dale is working where?!!!?"
Totally against my image... not so much my reality.
One of my earliest experiences as a clerk involved a gentleman who decided to return a blow up doll because. As he put it. "It had a hole in it."...a more experienced employee might have just said: "Sorry, there is no return on toys."... Not Me!!... I open it up. Then proceed to pull it out. Which he obviously had tried to wash. Before you know it I have this full size doll laying on the counter in front of me. All wet and gross. I'm thinking to myself... "What the hell?"
As it just so happens. A couple of my friends are in the store at the same time. I think the look on my face pretty much summed it up... both of them had to leave the room in hysterics. Peaking at me from the "arcade".
I finally tell the guy there was nothing I could do... actually, I was thinking to myself. "next time let the doll be on top".
It was always kinda funny when I would be in public and happen upon certain "regulars". Their first response would be to smile and say "Hi, how are you?"... then in the middle of this. They would realize where they know me from and get this look of horror on their face... god forbid the wife finds out where he goes. I always played it cool. I figure it wasn't my place to make them anymore uncomfortable.
Another time I was having dinner with my mom and Bruce. Bruce leans over to me and says:"that guy leaving went out of his way so that you would not see him"... I looked back to see who it was . It was a regular who would always rent a room to watch lesbian and transvestite videos... this day he was wearing a "collar".
This is the one thing that I always found fascinating. A large percentage of the men who were interested in the all-girl videos tend to be attracted to the transvestite ones as well... This was a pattern I saw continuously over the years.
