    In the stockroom!

    Seriously though depends on the situation, aimed towards me, I'd brush it off politely and firmly. (I had one girl seriously give me the come on in an interview, very awkward) Aimed towards someone else not much I can do unless they are offended and then makes a complaint!

    Health and Beauty. Always wanted to run my own business, this industry interested me so make a conscious effort to get in

    Does moonlighting as DUFFMAN the guy in a costume that creates awareness of Duff relieve stress for you?

    Using my right hand at the end of a long day relieves my stress. Duffman has an election!!!! Oooh yeeeeeeeeeee!

    I usually wind down with a kick about with mates or coaching a local football team

    No I find myself gradually turning into a bollocks though. I'm one of the rare breed of managers in my company who doesn't take undue **** from people. The right attitude and manners go a long way!

    I Once drove over a little puppy, does that count?

    "is the customer always right?"

    No but like most people on boards they think they are always right. A little slap of reality now and then does no harm!

    Are you counting down the days until the drone of robots relinquish most retail folks of their repetitive daily tasks?

    Probably a good time to read up on emerging nano-tech, 3Dp or whatever the future holds in store next.

    hows the relationship with the staff on the shop floor etc ?

    i used to work retail and thankfully most managers i had were great, while working you would have a laugh and get along great. it was very good for staff moral etc. but sometimes when shopping for myself , the odd time i might see an employee getting giving out to on the shop floor for something that may or may not be their fault, which i would disagree with.

    basically , are you the cool manager that the kids look up to or are you the old fart ?

    When you're deciding on who to pick for a job - if you've ever been on an interview panel - who could sell the most because of their looks? Are managers shallow in that regard?
