You're sheltered. You've never been to a furniture store, or any department store with furniture? Nor been to a market with vendor reps, one being cheese?

I mean, I thought I was sheltered, but I've been to Macy's, consignment stores, and Goodwill. And just the other day I was at a holiday market where one of the stalls was a cheese company.

I’ve actually worked in shops when I was younger, ones that sold furniture and cheese, which for someone as sheltered as me was shocking - took me about two days to recover!

Jokes aside, I totally understand these jobs exist but what I meant was that the OP picked some weird jobs to support their backwards ass point.
