“Shoes, shoes, everywhere I look there are shoes. But not just any shoes, sandles to be exact.”
“Look, this is just a dream, you are dreaming about shoes.”
“That's all I have dreamed of since I took that job as a shoe salesman on the beach. I can't stand it anymore!”
“It will get better. The beach will close down In a couple of months for the winter season.”
“Thank goodness for that! I have two more months of this shoe nightmare. What will be next, I wonder? Christmas Season sales…”
“Toys, toys, everywhere are toys…”
Damn! Another nightmare awaits!”

In Puerto Vallarta they would probably carry the whole board of shoes around. Good idea for the nightmares of retail jobs.
Hahaha! That would be a nightmare in itself – carrying the whole board of shoes around. Thank you so much, Mark, for reading and commenting.

Methinks he should not be a salesman.😸 Then again, I can kind of relate as I worked at a steakhouse once as a waitress. When I left to go back to school, it was a while before I wanted to even LOOK at a steak.
Hahahaha! I don’t blame you, cause I would be the same way! LOL!
Comes with the territory, it appears. Dreaming of wares to sell.
LOL! Yes!
Great story!
