Drawn from key interview points.

Such as:
Stock Manager
Primary workspace was the Warehouse section
Eventually completely overwhelmed by the constant influx of stuff, and trying to keep it in some form of order.

(0:32)
pulled off floor, put in bags, sent to smaller warehouse. didn’t go anywhere
(0:50)
it was like a mountain of bags
(1:40)
i’m in a basement, there’s no windows, and all i have around is smelly clothes
(1:55)
air vent is just smell of falafel
(3:16)
how did you feel. overwhelmed. that’s when anxiety level went up.
(3:40)
look at a section of mess, then turn around and see everything else is a mess*
(4:44)
every garment wrapped in plastic, all have to be unwrapped. garbage bags of plastic
(5:01)
Shelves of shit built up. Shelving and display items to mack displays look cool
(7:44)
organization. piles of things.
(8:02)
someone comes in, moves things around, doesn’t have time to put them back. system can’t be maintained.
(9:20)
bare walls, flourescent lighting, and dusty.
(9:50)
not communicating with the outside world. stuffy
(10:50)
darkness affected me.
(11:40)
would change prices to clear out stock that had to be donated
(11:50)
get rid of shitty stock. not many guys buy ties.
(14:20)
too much stuff to make it work
(19:20)
it was out of my control, and eventually i just gave up
(19:54)
i remember leaving angry notes.
(20:20)
“if you don’t put this box away, the rats will get in it, then they’ll kill you”
(20:45)
the sink is not a garbage can
