My experience with Retailing:

I don't consider myself very experienced with retailing. I love to shop, but I know that retailing has many aspects that I normally don't consider when going shopping. I have, however worked in a retail store since April 2007. I work at Abercrombie and Fitch, mostly as an "impact team member" as they call it. Basically I work in the back, in the stockroom, most of the time. I pull USR's, which uses a handheld scanner device that tells me which shirt, in what size, and color to pull and put out on the floor for selling. I do prep work, such as steaming, folding, and size-stickering; and also do updates each week. Since working there, mainly only for the discount, I have learned a lot about retailing. I know about loss and loss prevention, and many of the ways in which retail stores work.
I love online shopping, or e-tailing, as well. I don't know much about the recession or many retailing current events, but I am intersted in learning about them. I do know that I check certain stores' websites very often, basically just to see what they have out that is new. I also use the web to research buying more expensive or important items. I even bought all my textbooks online to save money. I think that online retailing is a great idea because so many people these days are pressed for time and it is a great way to get what you need quickly and easily.
