Question of the Day: Employee Discount

questionoftheday asks: If you were going to work at a mall-type store purely for the discount, which store would it be? (question submitted by azriona)

My answer: Obvious option would be a bookstore, though I'm trying not to hoard physical books like I have in the past.

Practical answer (shut up, it counts as practical) would be a music store. I benefit from a steady diet of new music, but I do like to actually buy whole albums. Plus, it seems like the sort of place that would let me explore unusual options.

Completely indulgent answer would be either a New Age-type store or a science-and-nature type (The Nature Company store of my youth, I miss you!), somewhere I could pick up gems and minerals on the cheap, because I am a goblin who wants the shiny stuff.

The filmmaker had gone deaf as a child, shaping the way she took in the world, and the camera seemed a natural extension of her most important sense. She never knew, when she sent the finished footage off to the transcription and subtitling service, what sounds she had unknowingly captured in the process. She wondered who the narrator was, how they had gotten their voice into her footage every time without her seeing them, and what story they would tell with her in their invisible collaboration.
