The main theme I've noticed throughout my research is the camaraderie felt between the members of the subculture. All of them emphasize a strong bond amoungst each other that they had never experienced in previous jobs. This bond can be seen on the fieldsite because employees are constantly joking with one another and helping each other with sales. The employees refer to themselves as the "Fossil Family." My place in my subculture has change a little over the past eight weeks. Since I only work one weekend a month, I'm slowly becoming less involved and less "in-the-know" in my subculture. It's almost like I'm starting to become an outsider. This has to do with the amount of hours I'm there, and I'm sure I'll go back to being a full insider once summer begins and I work more often.
