I'm trying to figure out what exactly such a job would entail. I have a MC who opens a record store every day and I'm not entirely sure what she does there other than flips on the lights, flips the sign from closed to open, and stands behind the counter...
Bonus question: Do they have buffers there to fix vinyls like you might find at a game store for disks? Something using polish or oil that would stain black? Or is one of the workers gonna have to bring something from home and leave it at the desk?
Never worked in a record store, but I've worked as a retail clerk in a toystore. Before the store opens, we had to:
Flip on the lights,
Vaccuum the carpets/sweep the tile,
Check for stuff misplaced or left at the counter,
Check whatever the guy who closed was supposed to do
Read whatever notes he might have left
Take the 'float' (the started money) out of wherever it's hidden at night, count it and spread it out into the till.
Make sure you've got the credit card slips, cash register tape, any other supplies you might need so you don't have to abandon the till during the day.
These days I'd add turn on the electronic cash register, and do whatever it's opening sequence requires, and maybe check e-mail instructions from boss or HQ.
Then you open the doors and flip the sign to open.
During the day, if you've got the staff/time, you restock the shelves, make sure things are in the right places, keep an eye out for shoplifters, do such maintainence stuff as doesn't interfere with the customers.
Closing at night is also a little more complicated than 'shoo out the customers, lock the door and turn out the lights'.
