Seriously? (art shop rant)
My mom and I stopped by a shop I'm trying to sell my jewelry through again today. Oi. I was actively looking for the things I had in the shop for about 15 minutes... and only found a few items... each in a different area and only one pair of earrings had a card with it (because they were hooked onto a mini business card). One necklace was up front at the counter area... but was tucked behind another one in such a way I didn't see it. Another necklace was displayed with another by a different artist on the same display with the other overlapping and hiding the bottom of my necklace. The place the pink items were displayed was at such an awkward angle it was hard to view and I doubt people look there often. Add to that 2 of my bracelets were on a hand display in such a way the one on top completely covered the other. The girl who was working there didn't know we weren't customers and didn't acknowledge us while she talked to someone who was checking out... we almost walked out without going to the back of the studio... When we finally talked to the girl working there we found out the back was where the apparent "featured artists" were, but from what I've observed a lot of people don't go back there, because it looked like a work area. Furthermore I was confident I had more bracelets still there. I finally found them while I was looking for where my business cards might be hiding. My business cards were tucked behind a bunch of things, completely out of view (not the first time she's done this, so I knew to look around a lot) and at least 4 of my bracelets were in a clustered pile tucked behind a display. She's apparently rearranging everything AGAIN... and my stuff just hasn't gotten put out yet. Every time I go in she's rearranging things... and it never makes any sense. I'm so frustrated.
Oh and this was after having to take a few cents out of my savings bank account because they had declared it inactive. Apparently now you have to have some form of active interaction at least once ever 60 days with savings accounts now or they'll consider it abandoned. What the hell? It's a savings account. My view of savings accounts have alway been that you put money in when you can and otherwise try to forget it's there so you don't try to spend it. It's called saving.
