In these short stories, Kristin DiCintio brings the reader along on her adventures when working a customer service position in retail at a local government owned liquor store. Kristin shares her bizarre encounters as a cashier and customer service representative with her readers and sympathizes with others who work in retail.

A 20-year-old girl gets a part-time summer job at a local Liquor Control Board of Ontario retail outlet as a customer service representative and cashier.

The store quickly falls victim to chaos following multiple changes in management. Combined with an ex-convict, Aziz, and a bungling neighbourhood thief, happenings at Store 458 make Kristin’s first summer job an exercise in lunacy, slapstick comedy and plain old idiocy.

Store 458 is a combination of the first time dealing with a power-hungry manager, encountering potentially dangerous thieves, and meeting unique characters from employees to customers.
