We asked a 17-year-old to give us all the details of their job working at a bookstore. The good parts of the experience and the bad.

I didn’t even have to apply at my shop 😅 manager was like “you’re here a lot, want a job?”

[hannahong]

working at a bookstore is literally my dream part time job 😭😭

Out of all the jobs I've had my entire life, working at a bookstore was my favorite. It was actually my dream when I was younger to have my own bookstore.

If money isn't a problem I'd work as a book store owner 😭

[avilolli]

a good girls guide to murder is literally so good

[laurenm]

I really appreciate that there’s no twist, nothing over-dramatic. Just wholesome bookstore chat.

Too true! -someone who uses to work at indigo in Vancouver

The best part is being an anime fan and a worker knows what they're talking about when you're looking for a good manga recommendation for a new series in a specific genre.

Our local store has 1 worker that's specialized in comics and manga and just as big a fan as many of us customers.

I'm sorry, it's a great video but can I just say... I ABSOLUTELY LOVED THAT BOOK YOU'RE HOLDING LIKE OMG IT WAS AWESOME! I'M ALMOST DONE WITH THE WHOLE SERIES

I used to work at a very large retail brand bookstore and they only paid $11 an hour. I took a break from working with them for a contract job. When I came back, I asked for a set number of guaranteed hours or potentially an increase in pay. Since in the time I had been gone I had been diagnosed with epilepsy. They could not guarantee me this, but instead said happily “but our employee discount has gone up to 50%!” Like. That’s not gonna pay my bills or keep me medicated and out of the ER 😞

Love that little meta joke “the hardest part was having to act out selling a book to a customer”, because that’s exactly what she’s doing.

I work full time at a bookstore and this is pretty accurate 😂 I absolutely LOVE my job, it still feels like a dream come true!

That $15.50 for 10-15 hours a week was worrying me until I found out that this was a teenager's work schedule.

My mom worked at a Barnes & Noble back when I was around 5-8, and she absolutely loved it (especially the employee discount which she used a lot, partially to get my dad most of his D&D books)
She doesn’t work at Barnes & Noble anymore bc we move a lot due to military, and there isn’t one in our area that we can easily drive to

I swear, book shop employees are so good at selling books and making return customers. They just casually compliment everything you buy until your addicted and broke.

[sydney_pollard]

The money and doing multiple peoples jobs was what got me. Besides that it literally was a dream ❤

[safurafatima]

Hey did anyone notice the book she's holding!!!
I absolutely love that book -" a good girl's guide to murder"
Has anyone else read it too??

[JubeJube]

It’s fr a must read I’m on the 3rd book rn and it’s literally my fav on the entire world lol 10/10 would recommend

[Strwbrydoomslayer]

I was so hyped to figure out there’s a bookstore in my town, now I know where I’m working 😋

I once worked at a comic book shop in Long Beach for about 6 months until it was time for me to get a real job. I just kept coming in and after a while I got cool with the GM and he told me someone was leaving and I said I’d take up some hours if he needed the help and boom I was hired. I accepted the gig cus I wanted to learn how to use illustrator and get any tips I could from artists. I learned so much and had a great time. That job helped bring my art to a new level and I’m still making money off it to this day, I’m forever grateful.
