Lady (Hilariously) Remembers What It Was Like To Work At A Record Store

Selling records was only half the job.

Laura (who goes by @fairycakes on Twitter) decided to take to the internet to remember what it was like working at the music chain HMV: back when you had to go to the store to purchase music.  ***WARNING: LANGUAGE***

Even better?  People started to share their own retail worker stories.

I still work for hmv now. My favourite ever request was an old lady asking my if we had any 'Plastic Dominoes'. After about 10 minutes intensive detective work it turned out she wanted the new 'Placido Domingo' album.

I too worked in HMV so I recognise your plight, but my time in WHSmith beat it for me! An old lady punched my manager in the face because the Candle In The Wind single for Diana was sold out.
