♥ rollercoaster day at work
my up and down day at work...
sigh, what a day.
P.S. we have already started stocking christmas stuff. dude. it's september.. *counts fingers* there's a good three months to go......
- the senior went on lunch break as soon i got to work (1pm) so i was left in charge.
- an aboriginal lady walked out of our store with lipstick slipped into the back of her pants, i could do nothing, she already left the store, but a customer was nice enough to let me know
- two of my high school teachers dropped by, ms pearson - a nice relief teacher, and mr uren - my awesome calc teacher. it was nice to see them and have a chat, but i could feel my supervisor eye-ing me as i stood there and talked to them.
- there were several things mispriced / mistagged. it was frustrating. very. frustrating.
- i served a customer with bits of her skin picked off. you know, kinda like those images they put on tv or ads to scare you about taking drugs. where they believe theirs bugs under their skin so they pick at it... at first i just saw it on her face, then she took off her jacket telling me how 'it gets hot when ur walking around hey'.... then i saw it all over her arms. at first i thought they were burns from cigarette butts (ahh criminal minds!) but then i realized they weren't burns, they were fresh wounds.
sigh, what a day.

♥ boss for the day =)
ahaha today i was in charge! all day. by myself. no one came in to help me.
it was great! slightly stressful at times. but good =)
money wise, we were only $3 short, which is a relief =)
kocie kept calling me boss xD it was kinda funny. he was like "ok boss"
there was a slight issue with a customer complaining that she was looking at the tubs, when a suitcase fell back and hit her in the head... i think she's going to try to file for compensation... i dont really get how that suitcase fell without anyone touching it, they stand so sturdy. all wells, got her details, called my manager and filled out an incident report.
we were meant to do a full recovery of the store (incl sweep underneath) but we didnt really get time to do that. but yeah we got most of the stock out so its all good
hopefully its good enough!
P.S. they found out why we were short $130 last thurs. *phew*. so in the end we weren't really short.

♥ my first night in charge @ RD =D
i am soooooooo tireddd
today i begun work at 12.
there was two conversations i had today, that took me back a bit and made me think.
the first one was with the full timer. she's 20 or something like that. and getting married next year. she's... a tad weird. she like takes off her sneakers to show her "blue" foot to customers saying how she walked into something blahbah) i was really shocked to find out she was getting married, because i didn't find her mature enough to handle a marriage. but then again, i guess im being pretty judgmental.
she told me today she had found out why she was sick the past two days - and i asked her how come. and she was like. in her exact words "im screwed". and i just stood there looking at her. and was like "ur pregnant?!" and yeah, i asked her what she was going to do, and she said she was going to wait til parents on both sides calmed down to discuss it properly. but she kept laughing while she told me her partner fainted when she told him.
yeah what caught me back was that she told me her mother said she was too young (as expected) and she didn't want her to keep it. i asked her what she wanted, and she said she had no say anyways. hmmm...
my second conversation was with the senior. i said something about how she should quite smoking =P and she was like "dont tlecture me girl!!" hahaha. and then i was like "i tried to get merida to quit, especially because she was pregnant" and the senior told me she quit when she was pregnant, but she still didn't help, she lost her twins. and i was like =/ and kinda lost for words.
anyways, those two conversations made me think quite a bit hmm.. esp because it was such a long day.
it wasn't until 5:15pm though, that i was left in charge. ahh.. it was tiring, stressful. especially this customer who caused such a confusion. i had to refund like 20 items. and put them through the till again -.-" and i kinda screwed up a bit... ^^"
yeah the other till ended up like $130 down =/ which is A LOT. i hope it doesnt reflect my managing skills, but yeah they need to talk to the girls on till =/ because... thats crazy.
otherwise, i cut myself like twice. argh! i dont like how my job involves so much physical work >__>
saturday - i'm opening the shopp! and in charge all dayyyyyyyy... with no help =/.
at least today the senior came back to help me cash up... but i'll be doing it all by myself on sat! gotta rmb to do payroll and all that stuff !!
*wooshhhaa*

♥ underwear from reddot anyone?
yesterday i realized that good days can turn sour really quickly.
making them turn back into good, is really difficult.
it takes time, and effort. but sometimes when u feel like crap, it's not that easy to turn things around.
anyways. i must share this. i had a customer today who told me that he wasn't sure what size underwear he was. he was holding a box of "calvin classics" a ripp of of calvin klein i think...
first, he asked me if we had changerooms, so he could try them on. and i was like "uhh no." then he asked me if we had any kinda room, just so he could see which size he was. and i said no again -___-" i mean geez, i dont think he got the point.. we're reddot man. who the hell buys underwear from us, let alone expects a changeroom to try them on?!
and then he asked me if he could return them if they were the wrong size. and i really plainly said no. because..... ew? health regulations man.
and then, i told him i'd go ask someone........ so i went to get jade, who's a transfer from another store, but when i was telling her abt the man i couldn't stop laughing.
she eventually came back to me after a while and she put her hand to her head in a gun suicide sorta action and i couldn't stop laughing. she told me that he had asked her if he could take it for 10 minutes, just to go to the toilets or something. and she was like "NO!"
ahahahahaa zmgsh? whats with customers now a days xD

♥ stoooopid customers
Okay. So for those who dont know, i'm workin at reddot....
and i've come across some pretty dodgy customers while working there..
like today. i had a lady who "claimed" that her $5 baubels come down to $3 after a 20% off discount (cauz all christmas baubels are 20% off)
and it took me a while to stand there and explain to her that 20% off $5 is actually only $1... and $5 - $1 is actually $4.....
GG. and then she claimed that the sign hanging up said "$3" and so i went all the way there to the aisle and pulled off the sign, picked up the REAL thing that was $3, and showed her what item was actualy $3... (the sign was ABOVE the $3 thing.. where as she picked up the $5 thing that was above the sign)
anyways. i got super annoyed at the girl at work today. she was just being so.. !@&*^#*@!%#@!^#%&!@^%#*!@&#^*!@
= . = " she was just so annoying. i got really sick of it. cauz i went on till to "help" her. cauz it was busy right. and she complained that i was "stealing" her bags. like u know the reddot bags we put customers stuff in? yeah O_O she complained cauz i was takin it from her "side"... zmgsh T.T
but i told my manager/supervisor lady.. that she was getting on my nerves. and i asked her to take me off till... and put another girl on.
GG.. i dont know how long i can put up with her. some of the guys at work are alright though... and the manager / supervisor lady i had today is good too. but man.. some of the customers and the people i work with are like.. G_G
i hope the annoying people leave soon.. and the good people stay. then maybe i will stay too. otherwise... i dont think i can last much longer there... Q_Q
