What was it like working in Spencer's/Claire's back in the day?

Claire's was horrifying. The "piercers" were trained on teddy bears for like a week before being let loose on babies and toddlers. Plus those piercing guns did all kinds of damage. And then of course you had clueless parents with huge strollers trying to navigate between overfilled displays, and the kids inevitably ripped half the stock off the pegs. I don't miss it.

Worked at Spencer's for a while. It was one of the most fun jobs I had at the mall. I had 6 of them over about 5 years. Lol. Spencer's was wild. We had a huge wall of blacklight posters and stuff. I used to bring my friends back there when they were really high. We had a ton of lava lamps which were fun to stare at too. We made the only adult (a mom in her 40s) stock the naughty section, just to be dicks. It was the first place I ever did ecstacy. Also had my ears randomly pierced by my coworkers. The holes are not in line and look janky as hell.

Ooof I worked at Claire’s for a year or so around 2004. The preteens leaving PILES of mess, the inventory getting dropped in your store and knowing each box in that mountain had 45 million small things to stock, and the infuriating music were the worst parts for me.

I would imagine watching tons of teenagers shoplifting all day long.

I spent the majority of my time at Claire's trying to keep pre-teens from stealing or explaining to a pissed off mom that their child had stolen some shit. I hated doing ear piercings.

Spencer's smelled terrific.
Just a fantasy land of blinking lights, lava lamps and walking canes with aoogah horns attached for Over the Hill 40 year olds.
Lots of stuff with boobs for some reason.
