Come in and ask for an application. We hire mostly in the spring and fall.

OK, if I get an interview, should I get dressed up?

Are those mini-coins you sell “real?”

They are real in that they are not imaginary, but they are not actually life-sized coins that are magically shrunk. They are simply made small. Oh, and by the way, Spanish Fly is not really an aphrodisiac, but you can still try it out ($2.99 for 1 oz).
