Suzanne
is a bookstore sales associate – her responsibilities are mainly to sell –
books, coins, stamps, etc…. She also
sells memberships to the Mt. Rushmore
Historical Association, which gives members 15% in our bookstore, as well as
dozens of other cooperative historical association bookstores (ex: Yellowstone
& Grand Canyon).
Brad
is the storeroom guy – restocks the shelves in the three bookstores and one
audio tour store throughout the park.
He’s responsible for checking-in shipments and making sure the stores are
well stocked. He gets to walk around the monument grounds everyday and chat
with visitors to the park. Brad had the
option to choose this or a sales associate like Suzanne, but this arrangement
basically guarantees us the same hours each day, as well as a regular 8ish to
5ish schedule. (In the summer, the bookstores are open 8am – 10pm, and we like
a more “regular” schedule.)
Since
people are curious ~ we are committed to five months working here (we wanted to
be in the area for an entire season) we are paid for all hours worked (32-40
per week) and a full hook-site is included (electric, water, sewer – nothing
else). We are also given a VIP card that allows us free or reduced rates into
many Black Hills and other area attractions, and
we will definitely use these on our days off!
In addition to all this, Brad's still restringing RV Blinds............
Easy and affordable - no matter where you are!
