I don't know how old Julie is exactly. She had referred to things in her
childhood, having a teenage daughter and other things that lead me to
expect that she is is middle aged. It would be hard enough to *retire*
from a retail job in one's 60s. If she left in her 30s that would be
quitting or being fired. If she had gone on to another line of work we
probably would have heard about it. But what the heck.... we can't
believe much that Julie says.
