My dad's been a store manager for Blockbuster Video for over 14 years. He's the most experienced manager in his district, and has won a bunch of awards, including customer service. He's the guy that trains managers-to-be, and is first in line to stand in for the District Manager in case of an emergency.
It's because of him that I became interested in film and the media.
He was also in the Air Force form 1968 to 1972, stationed at Homestead Air Force Base (in South Florida.) In addition to working in transportation, he was a practical joker who somehow never got court-martialed for all the crazy stuff he pulled (like shaking President Nixon's hand while wearing a button for someone who had ran against him - Nixon would land at the Homestead base when visiting friends in Key West. When Nixon saw the button, he pulled his hand away.)
