Strippers are people too!

As far as clothing goes, when you order, is it just one of each size? I swear my local shop only carries large and extra large of anything.

I just started working at a local comics store, it's pretty rad so far; awesome manager, rad customers, unsettling owner (who mostly works the convention circuit).

My manager mentioned to me the other day that a good way to make some extra cash on the side, and a major perk of the job, is to buy up hot new issues (esp. variants) with our discount on Wednesday and flip 'em on eBay over the next week- does anyone know a good resource to follow for what's especially in demand?

WTF? Your manager literally told you that hurting the stores bottom line is cool? I literally can't even. I'm a bartender by trade and that's like my manager telling me buy a bunch of shots when it's happy hour and resell them when it's not! What the gently caress

Edit: your manager is stealing from the store.

lol what, you've never comped a drink or discounted a tab for a regular knowing it'll net you a fatter tip and a loyal customer? Maybe that's more of a dive bar thing, idk what kinda place you work at, but it was typical when I was bartending

the owner sees that some workers are buying 2-3 copies of books he also knows are gonna take off, and orders extras. We're not selling em, like, outside the store with a big sign that says "cheaper than inside!", we're doing comics speculation online with an edge of being closer to the top of the distribution chain and cutting costs by a buck

I mean comping a drink for a regular is one thing but this is ordering extra inventory to do so, and telling a new employee that's the way things are rung. Ordering extra inventory to give away seems like a super lovely business plan and telling a new employee hey you can give poo poo away for free or sell it for your own profit for side money seems ludicrous.
