@Lizette603_23@mastodon.social That's a great account. I grew up in a tiny town of less than 300. When a high school sophomore, I was hired by an elderly fellow who ran a hardware store and gas station. The main other worker was taking a different position but spent a couple days training me on the tire patching and changing machinery. Just a few days into the job, mostly pumping gas and some hardware sales, the owner had a heart attack. He was out for the entire summer. I was essentially running the business by myself, taking daily proceeds to the bank in the event, picking up what I needed for the cash register in the morning, etc. The former employee dropped by on weekends to do the books. My high school coach stopped by one morning and asked how the youngest merchant in town was doing. Could only happen in a tiny town.
