Hi Howard, Go for it bro. After reading your bio I'm sure you'll succeed. You are a likable intelligent guy who I'm sure will interact well with customers. I'm sure after a while you'll be greeting some returning customers as friends. Try to make your interaction with each customer the highlight of their day. You may have come across a cashier like that already. That my friend is the secret to success in your field. Don't get hung up should you bomb every once in a while just chock it off to experience and try something else. I've been in the retail business for 40 years. Good luck to you and enjoy your growth!

Congratulations on moving forward! I'm sure you will be able to do this. Everyday you go to work or for a job interview will make you stronger and braver. Your therapists will help. We're here to cheer you on, too! You can do it, Howard!!

Thanks so much, all of you. Really helps. Really does.

Just think, you'll be the first to see the new styles of reading glasses arrive. Lucky you!

You can do this, I am an introvert that has taught himself to speak up in public, public speak and deal with the public in my business dealings. It is difficult at first but, I relied on two things to succeed: 1-The belief that I could do it and 2-the knowledge that many of those you are dealing with are just as troubled dealing with others as you are.

Yes, you can do this. It's ok to pretend to be fearless - amazingly, it will become true. Good luck Pat.

Understanding that the customers are idiots just like the rest of us is the first step

Hey, good luck! Don't forget to smile!
