Talking to strangers gives me anxiety

Are you one of those guys who gallivants around transit stations asking for contact info and credit card numbers?

I try to give upper middle class folks free vacations in exchange for "touring" the resort downtown (listening to a time share presentation)

i never didn't feel awkward as a waitress, but i don't know how i appeared. ain't nothin' like restaurant comraderie, tho. you'd be hard-pressed to find anything like it in another place of work.

I can sell a week at a RESORT for $99 if they go to the presentation

I wish I qualified for that!

hmm yes. that would be tough and i would make a total of zero sales.

you can always work as a waiter instead.

It sounded impossible when I got pitched it in training

but sales is sports, there's all these techniques and practice makes perfect

a veteran will come by to check a site, lick his finger and test the wind, throw a few pitches and have 3 tours booked in an hour it's actually a thing of beauty to see

Scoot has opened up a new route, Singapore to Berlin, $299 each way. So...I booked. How bad can a 12 hour nonstop in a low budget plane with kids be, anyway?

You should have been like me when I was your age... Working in a department store in the electronics wing with Waynes World and the Ernest movies blaring from the TV wall. Like minded people would come in and praise me on my choice of footage. You can't not be a punk with Ernest Scared Stupid playing in your department during July.

lol well, tonight (err last night)I strutted into my night shift work wearing ripped denim, Iron Maiden Trooper shirt, long hair, GNR trucker hat and had not 1 manager to answer to. I'm the guy that takes cares of the back room at night and I fuck off before all the assholes get there.

I may not be making as much as I could, but I don't gotta be the personable dweeb poking at strangers door-bells, rambling away like a used car salesman.

I've known plenty of good people who listen to Nickelback and lots of shitty people who have "good taste."
