Claire's Boutique. 100,000 tiny earrings. A daycare clock at 6:01 PM.
Single mom with a four-year-old. Full-time job, part-time hustle. They handed me the manager role on the spot, a paper blueprint, and a store full of sparkly chaos. Build it out, section by section, exactly to spec. That is where the systems thinking started. Loss prevention is what gave it the language.
