I've had a massive rant over the state of the local game stores brewing for weeks, but I've just not been able to compose it in a practical manner. In fact,every time I went to work on it, I'd get a paragraph or two done, and end up even angrier.
I was just about to post the entire incomplete and incoherent diatribe, when an e-mail alert distracted me:

Why did I forward their job posting, besides the fact that the Stams are really nice people who run a quality organization?
Just so there's additional proof on the internet that there are such a thing as job duties and qualifications for a game store employee.
Ryan was their resident "Doctor Magic" who handled tournaments, web sales, and binders upon binders full of cards. Remembering that when I left two game shops, the owners needed to replace me with two 30+ hour employees, I appreciate their foresight to recognize that Ryan's replacement(s) has considerable shoes to fill.
And the line, "All employees and volunteers at Pop’s Culture Shoppe are also required to pass Child Abuse and Criminal Background Checks," gave me an uneasy laugh, as there are far too many stores out there with staff that give men pause, much less women and children. As expected , Pop's doesn't play games with the welfare of your family while their visiting the store. It's surprising that's not the attitude everywhere.
Again, my wife is lucky to have snatched me off the market when she did, because if I was still a single dude living in Wellsboro, my resume would be polished up and to the store in a matter of seconds.
