I remember being a customer at Waldenbooks at the Florida Mall shortly after arriving in Orlando, and dealing with an obviously new and nervous salesperson.

I think I've had that same clerk at multiple stores;-) I love to shop and even more to shop with my mother (who occasionally still hands me her credit card for my purchases since I push her around in a wheelchair these days).
