I survived my first day in overly well dressed land. A bit much to take in all at once, with my second day looming before me full of a twelve hour shift and observation by my district manager, but I'll survive. *shrug* It's not rocket science, it's ordering tuxedos for people and making sure they buy the little add ons.
It's an interesting experience learning from people I was hired to be the boss of. I've been expressly told to find a way to balance an image of authority with my complete ignorance of the ins and outs of the system. It's embarrassing and a perverted kind of fun in equal measure.
My first day of retail work in a year took its toll. Oddly though, class (3 hours) was only 20 minutes long for me. I did the assigned in class work and was told I could leave. God bless hybrid classes.

'When I was a kid I used to spend summers on my uncle's farm. And he had this plow horse he used to work with everyday. He really loved that plow horse. One summer she came up lame. It could barely stand. The vet offered to put her down. You know what my uncle said?' [...] 'He said, why would I ask somebody else to kill a horse that belonged to me?' ~ Rob Redford in 'Spy Game'

Once again, congratulations on your acquiring of the money making thingie. I'm sure you will show those experienced slobs whats what when it comes to tuxedoin!
Seconding Adam's comment, and adding that you'll do so in spectacularly well-dressed style. It won't hurt your resume, either, to point out that you can both manage and figure out the trade completely on the fly.
