So last summer there was an incident on Staten Island involving a former "commune" member shooting her former leader. It was all over the news and quite funny. It turns out that the "commune" or cult, owns and runs a trendy thrift shop chain on Staten Island. So me and my husband took a trip out there to check things out. We found creepy cultish zombies with happy retail smiles lurking in every corner of these shops. We did manage to snag some great deals on some awesome LPs. Ok.. so today I am checking out Craigslist.. as I often do when I am bored and came across this amazing job opportunity. If you don't apply I will!!!
