Inspired by the film - Empire Records

You are standing up and rocking to the music of “Video Killed the Radio Star” - you are jamming “out loud” on your air guitar and then this dull tapping sound starts to drum to the beat that is playing in your head. No it’s not your fictional band’s drummer, it is actually the customer in the music store where you work trying to get your attention! With the puzzled customer looking strangely at you, you rapidly tuck in your shirt and jump off the store counter, as you gleefully smile and say “Good morning Sir, how can I be of service?”…Welcome to the rocking world of retail - which are evolving into the world of online stores as well!

Anyone really! From store clerks to head office management, it is an industry that is leveraged off a retail sphere and is backed by a strong corporate support structure.
