I worked in the bookstore in Mtn View...IIRC because Ted (Teo?) from MVHS worked there, so I "knew" someone which helped me get thru the "are you cool enough" gauntlet. Our manager lived on a boat in the Santa Cruz harbor and would commute in whenever... the rumor is that she'd do coke in her office with reps when they came by.
Since she wasn't overseeing most of the time, it was just a hang out for a bunch of young adults. I don't know how the store lasted as long as it did. So much shrinkage out the back door (that's not a yeti reference). It was a fun job while it lasted and, since I handled the Computer Book section, I was able to spin that when I switched to working at the Mac shop in Palo Alto which led me to where I am today...
So, thanks MTS Incorporated!
