So what do I look for when recruiting shop volunteers?
Ironically, it can be one of the easiest roles of the festival so long as you
know what you’re selling; what you are doing and have some basic common knowledge
math sense. Apart from that it’s quite easy and you can make fair progress on a
book in quiet times, maybe even one that you’re selling so long as you don’t
mind the odd interruption to answer a query. Just sit at the counter and
everything you need is in easy reach. To encourage people to visit, we do
exchange cash into beer tokens to encourage people to look at what we’re
selling while they wait. Occasionally you may have to function as a point of
knowledge as people approach for advice on various topics, but some might just
want to stop and chat in passing. But as long as you know your stuff, you’ll be
fine.
