I'm a pharmacist, and today this place is crazy. People believe they'll never leave the house again

I left retail 10 years ago. My sincere condolences.

I worked in a retail computer store in the early 90’s. The owners didn’t give a hoot about weather - state is open? We are open. The number of guys who would show up to buy random unnecessary items was huge. Never expensive or enough to justify staying open that day, but always a bunch of weirdos who decided that THAT was they day they needed to buy a spare $10 mouse or a CD Cleaner.

I also worked a computer store in the 90s, can confirm. Was always someone who would drive through the snow storm to pick up a BNC connector or a stack of blank CDs

It's okay, I'm in a neighborhood specialty location so we're normally not that busy. I did regular retail for 16 years prior to that, got out before the shit hit the fan for real
