    Graci,
    I can imagine that happening to me if I worked in a retail store. You've just go to practice saying that word NO, NO, NO.

    It could be worse, you could work at a travel agency and be charging all those great deals on your credit card! Just trying to give you some perspective here cause that's why I can't ever work for a travel agency!!!

    Step 2: Leave all money and CC's at home.

    My brother was living with a girl who literally had a new job every month. You could always tell where she was working by the shopping bags lying around.
