Or at least more interesting. As per your recollection about your experience.
Then again, obsessive collectors can probably be disturbing at times no matter what they're collecting, I imagine.

It could be frustrating but all and all I'd say it was one of my favourite jobs. Everyone who worked there was great too and still keep in touch with a few people via facebook.
I'm fortunate in never having to really work a corporate chain retail job so haven't seen the worst of the worst. People could certainly be annoying but it was at least interesting.
One interaction I remember with a slightly annoying regular who was very specific about his jazz music:
"What's that awful music playing right now?"
"Oh, that's the remaster of the Sonic Youth album Daydream Nation"
*Audible groan and look of disgust* "Well that sounds like something that someone who dropped out of highschool would listen to!"
"Huh... I actually just graduated from engineering the other week actually"
