Hey so I have an interview at my lgs Friday...

It's retail. It's a major suck.

You'll be bored most of the time, and the boredom will be interrupted by sporadic bouts of retardation from customers, and grief from boss/coworkers. You'll also encounter the rare times when a customer is actually a decent human.

This, honestly. Worked for me, anyway. Try to find a subject you both like, and start talking about that.
I mentioned I was going to school for a double major in anthropology and archaeology, and we just chatted about Egypt and Rome (baby tier empires to talk about for hours on end) for awhile. He didn't even really bother to ask me about my qualifications, and even offered higher training for positions above that for which I applied for.

It is all just people skills, I swear. "Death of a Salesman" shits on that idea, but it was probably written by a sperg who got walked on by Chad in school.

How to get hired at some shitty retail job: be confident, but mildly stroke the ego of the self important prick that you’re conning into hiring your autistic ass. Talk, but not TOO much; play to how they present themselves. Understand the business model before you show up for the interview. LGS probably makes most of their money over ammo more so than guns, and honestly probably has a higher margin on that. Either way, talk up your sales skills. Imagine some other shitty retail experience and mention - and this is important - in a way that it’s NOT a major portion of what you’re saying that part of that involved getting customers to get an attachment on major purchases. Example: at staples, they make like two bucks on the average computer they sell. The money is in selling your dipshit ass the gay warranty (66.6667% margin) office/antivirus (~33.3334% margin) and most importantly useless tech services (100% margin). Without this your wageslave hourly actually will make the store lose money on the transaction - and when they’re on sale they are usually sold below cost. So imply you’ll be able to attach higher margin items to increase the overall margin of gun sales. If they’re retarded - which is likely- you might need to be more direct about this but play to your audience. If they follow a similarly retarded business model as staples, they’ll get a Jew boner. If they have a logical business model where everything is actually profitable to sell then they’ll be happy that they get more shekels. Just being able to say you can do the above will put you ahead of 99% of other cucks who apply for a job in retail. The implication part belongs when they ask what you think makes you suited to the job / what experience you have / whatever similar question. Try and avoid giving a rambling nonsensical answer, an interview is a sales pitch. Think of what would sell you on hiring someone and act like that. (1/2)

Understand the pay structure too. The odds are pretty high that you’ll be making minimum wage or very near it, if you’re lucky you’ll be able to stack that with a pittance of a commission and maybe a cool discount. You’re not gonna get rich you’re not gonna have fun and you aren’t gonna learn shit in the way of marketable skills except sales. Sales skills are honestly the single most important thing to have in life next to skill at lying. If you have these you can con anyone into anything if they’ve a lower power level than yourself, which is most of them

Costco expects their people so sell shit?

I think Costco has a marketing department separate to their shopping floor. I think the only ones on the floor who actively try to sell you shit are the electronics and eyeglasses departments.

Don't be an autist.
Unless your prospective boss is an autist, then be the same kind of autist.

Just be ready for these questions and respond as so
>If asked about having any firearns
"Got me a glock 40 problem solver and 12 gauge dumpster defender"
>if asked about having conceal carry permits
"Hell no, I aint signing up for that shit. Keeping it REeeeaal"
>Ever been hunting experience
Just use the same story that is posted on Jow Forums about gathering female deer scent.
>Sales experience
"Yeah, buy guns in one state, sell in another from trunk of car for 3x the cost"
>Where do you see yourself in 5 years
"In your daughter's bed"

>Don't be autistic
>Know an autistic amount about modern production firearms
>Have basic sales experience and cash handling
>Present yourself as someone remotely competent who can manage to prescreen a guy buying a gun and not fuck up a 4473
Congratulations on getting a $9-11 an hour job that will involve a lot of standing around with your dick on your hand or dealing with niggers and tweakers trying to straw purchase firearms.

>don't be a living, breathing form of autism
>don't mention Jow Forums at all
>don't mention sticking nugget bolts up your bunghole

Why haven't more people gone postal at their place of employment like retail? Why is it just teenagers/men in their early 20's

>Sales skills are honestly the single most important thing to have in life next to skill at lying. If you have these you can con anyone into anything if they’ve a lower power level than yourself, which is most of them
Why wasn't I raised to have these skills and to be a proper man?

Because the teens/men haven't realized yet that employed life is shit unless you worked hard to find a career and studies/trained for it.

The older men and women have had it driven in already and accept that their fate is sealed and their hope lies in the next generation.

tl;dr: immaturity.

People used to go postal frequently up until the mid 00's
