Every morning when I open the store, I walk around checking all the displays, straightening the cards, making sure the wind-up toys are facing the right direction, etc. This morning, I picked up the large pin screen and pushed my face into it, and thought to myself: 28 years and I'm still pushing my face into the pinscreen. Retail often requires us to do the same things over and over. And over. I don't think we've actually sold pinscreens for the entire 28 years - but probably close to 25. At 365 days in a year, that's 9,125 days. And some of those days we were closed.And some of them I was on vacation, or didn't open the store myself. And some of them we were out of stock on large pinscreens. Still, conservatively speaking, I would guess I have captured my likeness in pins at least 5 or 6 thousand times. That's kind of a lot. And I'm not done yet!
