I shop at stores all the time that the employees know little to nothing
about the product. Most companies have too in order to have anyone
working there. I for one would drop my second job in a minute to work
in a LEGO store. I enjoy the money, but if I could combine that with my
passion for the brick, I would. However, I don't think there was any
talk for one around Michigan, unless Gary Istok opens his!!! ;)
