Everyone needs to do a 2 year term of service in retail. 2 years in retail will either make you a hard core racist, an anti-humanity activist, or (hopefully) more compassionate and caring toward your fellow man.

They say the same of the formerly two-year (currently one-year) Russian Army conscription. No one needs that, and it's terrible for everyone involved if you're forced to, but if one sets their mind to learn from it by going there - now there's a good experience waiting to be had.

2 years? I barely made it six months back in high school. By the end it was either quit or strangle the next couple I had to drag out of the dressing room for trying to use it as a free no tell motel.
