So, since the last post...I got bangs. But the more I look at pictures of my hair before, the more I dislike them. I think I'm just going to grow them out. Oh well, lesson learned.
Maggie is still adorable as ever. I really need to get some pictures up of her. I take pictures all the time, I just never have the time to upload them.
The past couple of days, customers have been very annoying at Payless. As with any job, you find little things that people do that are just ridiculous. I have a list building...one of them is when it is NOT Buy One Get One half off, and everyone asks if it is. Alright, if you know our lingo, then you probably know that when it IS BOGO, we have giant red signs everywhere telling you that it's BOGO. Yet this is the conversation I get every day at least once...
Me- "We have our summer sale going on right now, everything is marked with the sale price..."
Customer- "Oh, so it's BOGO?"
Me- "No, summer sale...the sale price is already on the box..."
Customer- "So I buy one, and get another half off?"
Me- "No. It's not BOGO."
Customer- "Well, maybe it'll be BOGO later?"
At this point I want to just walk away. But I try to nicely explain what an idiot they are and that it IS NOT BOGO. No where in my speech that I give every customer do I say the words "bogo" or "half off." Why do they all hear it? Stupid, stupid people...
This lady that came in today must of thought she was something special, because she kept treating me like I was the dirt under her feet. She walked in, pointed at a shoe, and said "Get me that in 9." I kind of looked at her strange, and then went and got the shoe for her (which, by the way, was about 5 inches from where she was standing.) When I held it out to her, she just waved her hand towards the couch...I thought I was going to die. She did it a couple more times before I finally just stopped walking by her. She talked so softly that I had to keep asking her what she was saying, which seemed to frustrate her. But what was I supposed to do?? Then, when the fool was ready to check out, the pair of sunglasses she wanted were recalled and I could sell them to her. Another woman in the store told me later that she thought the crazy lady was going to jump over the counter at me. When I said that I couldn't sell them, she said "Well, call someone." Uh, excuse me? I can't sell them, who the heck do you want me to call? They're just going to say the same thing and it's a waste of my time. Plus, they're are TEN dollar sunglasses. They're probably recalled because they have lead in the paint. Do you REALLY care that much about them to risk your health? AHHHH. Finally I went in the back and pretended to look something up on the computer, and when I came back out I told her that we got an email telling us that we couldn't sell them. To which she replied, "Are you the only one working?" Seriously? Do you want a second opinion? This isn't a life-threatening illness we're dealing with, it's a pair of recalled sunglasses. I hate people. I really do.
Well, I take that back. There are the occasional customer that I help find a pair of shoes that go perfect with their outfit and that look so cute on them...those are the people I'll go the extra mile for.
Anyways, I have things to do. Lame.
