Definition: A retail wizard employed in a hyper-specialized niche store (think vintage Tamagotchis or bespoke clown noses), whose primary skill is the psychic ability to locate the exact obscure item that makes a customer’s eyes light up like a pinball machine. This master of obscure inventory thrives on the dopamine rush of successful quests, treating each sale like a victory lap in the Olympics of Nerd Satisfaction. They endure terrible pay solely for the privilege of witnessing the moment someone cradles a mint-condition 1987 G.I. Joe with inexplicable reverence.
Example: “As the lead Joy Hunter at ‘Sentimental Circuits Retro Games’, Dave lives for matching dusty cartridges with misty-eyed Gen Xers. When he unearthed a sealed copy of ‘EarthBound’ for Mrs. Henderson’s surprise retirement gift, his triumphant grin could have powered the store’s neon sign for a week.”
