As a matter of fact my very first job was also in a

that's where I also learned the importance of being able to charm the

trouble) in subsequent years...
Another skill to be learned was the ability to block-print neatly and
legibly, differentiating "1" from "I", "0" from
"O", etc. It was all
uppercase, so that simplified things somewhat. To this day, I still
put a line through my "7", although I've dropped the stroke through
my zero as most people find it to be confusing.
To this day, my cursive sucks, but my block printing is exemplary.
