So I never know life before scanners (they've always had them since I've worked retail). I've worked concession at a movie theater (took me years to eat popcorn again), a drugstore, Big Box, and a specialty bath products store. The only time my hands weren't horrible was at the latter (we sold fancy lotions, scrubs, soaps, etc so we were allowed to play with the testers).

Being on your feet all day (we weren't allowed to sit down except for breaks) was also rough.
