I don’t have a lot of older people in my life telling me about their experiences and... just, stories like these; sometimes I want to cry when I watch stuff like this-videos by motherly women who are sweet yet don’t take crap from anyone-simply because I wish I had this for myself. I am still young, so I am very thankful for your presence in my life, even if it is only virtual and will always be. Your experiences are valuable to me. Thank you for being yourself and making things better. And thank you for sharing your stories with us. They comfort me a lot. 💖✨

[@CrunchyCrispy-pt8yv]

It brings me so much comfort to hear about you working jobs that I am working now. I am just a high school janitor now, but I plan to do so much more than that after my degree. I wonder if my path will be as interesting as yours!

[@singerjadelocke2097]

it's so interesting hearing about money decades ago, the minimum wage especially omg. i remember my mum telling me that she had a friend in school that was super rich because she would bring two dollars to school for lunch money. that would buy nothing now. when i was in school you needed at least ten dollars to get a roll and a drink.

Your experience at the grocery store sounded like bullying and harassment. I immediately had flashbacks when you talked about your experience with how you were treated. It’s the worst feeling to have a group of ppl treat you badly for no reason. You are such an inspiration!!!!! Thank you Mary!!!!

I’m currently 24 and going through a crisis of wanting a new job but too afraid to switch to a job that might make less money and not adapting well. The fact that you work since you were 16 and have had so many jobs, it kinda inspires me to not be afraid of change.

All my jobs were varied before college but after college I my field. when I was young, I ran into a situation of sexual harassment but it was by a women. I was a a newlywed and not a lesbian . By the time I realized what she was meaning and always getting me alone or worked late, I finally followed my gut feeling and went to boss and HR. Thankfully this was in a large corporation.. but the looks of discomfort n their faces was priceless. This was over 33 years ago and what they did was had me transferred. Later on like 4 years later I heard she was in a lawsuit with the company over being firec for attacking a male co worker. Anyway i swore never get in another situation where I get a strange feeling I trust myself always!

Omg you're experience working at Eckards is hilariously similar to my experience now working at a similar type of retail drugstore with a pharmacy. We also have the photo kiosk and a few weeks ago I had to learn how to deal with people bringing film in and you're completely right, it's still the exact same system it sounds like. They even have the same little sealable bags with the customers info on it etc. Also we have the little sales tags too except that we have to set them up on Sundays instead of Saturdays.

I really like this video. I just discovered ASMR, and a lot of the videos I’ve seen so far are somewhat of an ASMR trigger overload. To be quite honest, if certain things to you aren’t triggers, they can be quite annoying. Just straight dialogue in a whisper has so far been my thing. It’s just so relaxing to hear someone speaking in a non-loud, dramatic manner. I subscribed because of this video, and your content isn’t lewd like a lot of the other stuff I've seen.

Your pharmacy experience is SO familiar to me. I was working the front counter at CVS when I was 18 and starting college, then one day they called me and asked if I could work the register in the pharmacy for just “one day”. One day turned into a week, which turned into a month, and then the board of pharmacy said to keep working back there I had to get my tech license. I didn’t really want to be a tech but it paid better so I studied, took the test, and became a tech. It turned into a great job, and I’ve been a tech ever since, working at different pharmacies. My FAVORITE part of that job though was the putting up and taking down the sale and organizing shelves. I’ve always loved your organizing videos because I’m the same exact way, I could’ve come in when the store was closed and done that for hours with no distractions from customers and it seriously would’ve been my ideal job. So satisfying and peaceful. Stressful when you try and juggle customers at the same time though

[@laurab2652]

Also I did the film development thing right before it was phased out and I hated it haha. The machines were constantly breaking, customers were super impatient, and I was also a cashier and stock worker at the same time and was told repeatedly the camera department was lowest priority so it was a constant interruption to my other tasks that I got in trouble for not doing even though I was helping customers. I was super glad when they turned it all into automated computers at my store just so I could focus better on the other things I had to be doing.
