          My first job was in a florist. My boss was an ogre and working a 14 hr day ( with no breaks or lunch) and me making arrangements AND walking them all over downtown Seattle was enough to make me quit and as for the florist claiming the suppliers charge more.. in many cases, it ISN'T true. Plenty of places to get flowers is you scout them out ahead of time and NO, not the local cemetary.
