Bookstore Bouncer


We were trying to save money to move to Arizona, so I took a job during the day as Security Guard for a bookstore in a very touristy part of SF. (While working full time at night) The nutzy street people had to be escorted out, so as not to scare the normal people shopping. And the book vultures would swoop through occasionally. These were the guys in long overcoats who grab an entire shelf of picture type books and run out. They would sell them to the used bookstores for their money for the week. The whole thing reminded me of my short stint as a bouncer on Bourbon Street when I needed extra money. It's not anything you would want to do over the long haul.
