Boy, I must have a case of the memory gaps. I'm forgetting some jobs!
Disneyat's post about working at the Main Place Mall triggered my memory!

I also worked at:

The Record Shop (Main Place Mall)- So much fun! One day, the drummer for a known Glam band at the time came in and asked me out! His pick-up routine was actually going to get his CD, and pointing out his picture on the back cover. I cannot believe that even worked on me.

Music Plus (Northridge) - I did this while in college and didn't really have fun at all. However, I worked with a guy who was a drummer (what was it with drummers?) in a struggling garage glam band & we ended up dating. He had long, curly big hair, tight leather pants & those billowy pirate blouses that all of the hair banders wore at the time. Haha! I thought he was so dreamy. He looked like Kip Winger & all.

By the way, this was back when glam was still popular. Not, like, last week.

Edited To Add: Does Music Plus or any of these places exist anymore? I haven't seen an actual record store in ages besides Tower Records, which was on the brink of bankruptcy a few years ago! I remember the Music Plus in Northridge became a Blockbuster music store which quickly went out of business. At Music Plus, we were located next to CSUN, so it was always an endless parade of frat boys asking to rent Faces Of Death which, hello, we didn't carry. My favorite video that we rented? Frankenhooker. Of course, I rented it. I suggest you do, too. It's the story of a crazed scientist who loses his girlfriend in a tragic LAWN MOWER accident. He decides to reconstruct her, but only her head is salvageable. So, in order to collect other body parts, he lures hookers into his motel room, and gives them SUPER CRACK (yes, you read right) to smoke. The crack is so powerful it causes the hookers to explode, thus giving him the needed body parts. Good golly, that movie SUCKED!
