What an excellent place to work! Although it would be not quite as dangerous a place (financially) to work as a fabric store or a book store, it would definitely run a close third. We had a shop called "The Science Fair" and it was a wonder for bottles, flasks, and containers, hand lenses, mini-thermometers, posters, pre-made slides... Lots of fun, especially since it had been there for a few years, so there were always things to be found on the bottom shelves.

Nope, it's still dangerous. I'm coming home with stuff all the time. Today I bought a metal detector to bring to archery practice. :)

Can't read it at my font size

FYI: I can't read it.

To save my eyes, I have my browser's minimum font size set at 20pt. Your store's site (like many sites) uses absolute positioning for much of its layout, rather than letting sections of the layout take up as much space as required. The result is that many sections of the page are close to unreadable; check out this screen shot (http://pics.livejournal.com/metageek/pic/000042wk/g13).

This is really common these days, because it's become Received Wisdom that sites should do layout with CSS instead of tables; but CSS can't do properly scalable layout.
