The most fun job I ever had was working at Axe Music. The manager was an idiot blowhard who talked too much and irritated the hell out of me, which is why I would drink beers and smoke weed on shift, but the rest of the staff were so cool and fun to hang with. It was a commission based environment and I thrived in that. Sorry to be racist for a moment, but when Asian parents came looking for a piano all I had to do was dial up the right patch and rip the intro to "Jump" (RIP, Eddie) and they'd buy instantly. It kind of became a running joke.
The highlight for me was when they hired this rapper kid who didn't actually know anything about music or gear and so I mentored him. He just recently ended up finishing audio school and is now a full time recording engineer.
