Be Kind to Your Sales Clerk - They want to enjoy the Holiday Too
So yesterday was my last day off till Christmas Eve. Yep I have nine days helping customers find the "right gift", box everything up nice and neat and pretty (actually I don't mind that part.), try move along the line as quickly as possibly so no one is waiting too long. And ask wonder questions like:
"I saw a top 3 months ago, can you help me find it?"
*item is marked down to $7.00* "Can you get three of these ordered in from other stores and get it here in time for Christmas?"
"Why can't you help me RIGHT NOW?" *Has line of five people standing at the cash wrap waiting to be rung up. Each of them has several items and they all need boxing up. Except for the one person who's just shopping for themselves they instantly become my favorite person of the day.*
I know I will be asked these questions and several others over the next coming day and it makes me tired already.
So . . . who wants to go to work for me?
And don't mind me I'm feeling cranky and pre-tired for the up coming days. We just had a girl quit so it's just me and Linda (my dept manager) and yeah we've never did Christmas with only two full timers and one part timer. Okay I'll stop whining now go do some writing now - really am working on my holiday fic really I am.
