Sometimes I think I can see right through myself
Yay for me- got a check yesterday from the new job and got paid from SRC today. Last night was my first "real" shift. I had two days of training last week and on Wednesday, I didn't go in until after we closed to help set up for the Real Sale. Which I recommend you guys check out if any of you shop at the Limited- it's a huge sale. I sold $500 something worth of stuff, which Jacquelyn said was really good since I only worked for 3 hours and was new. Ended up staying until 11:30...reorganizing stuff is a bitch. Anyway, this one lady came in and was very nice and I was talking to her and she said "Ahh, I see you're tryiing to make the sale. I like that." She had a few questions and I answered them and I made sure to thank her on her way out, and she thanked me for all my help. She was really sweet, has a unique voice. She wanted to buy stuff on sale that she had bought on regular price and then return the items she bought and get regular price back. So basically she had double of certain items. Anyway, this morning, I realized that I only really have 3 work shirts so I decided to go to the Limited here in Denton to buy a new shirt for my shift today. First off, no one greeted me until AFTER I came out of the dressing room. Last night, we were busy and I greeted every single person who came in the store, and there was like only 3 other people in the store. So I go back in the dressing room a 2nd time, then I hear this familiar, unique voice. It was the woman who was singing my praises last night. She recognized me right away, and was returning her clothes that she had bought at regular price, which is good for us, because their store is the one who has to take away returns, not us..so it makes us look better. And then they handed her two receipts from her returns and she asked them for a stapler and they didn't have one. Being as awesome as I am (jk), I pulled a mini-stapler out of my purse and handed it to her. She was sure to tell me she appreciated it, so I think I just built customer loyalty. Yay!
Olive Garden is awesome in customer service- the Denton one that is, not the Longview one. They always treat me like I'm some sort of well-off business person, even when I walk in all scrubbed out. Anyway, I was getting a to-go order and arrived a few minutes early, so my order wasn't ready yet, and they offered me a beverage..in a to-go cup, so I was able to bring it home with me. So basically because I showed up early they just gave me a free beverage. And whenever I split a plate with someone, they separate it for us; unlike in other restaurants where they just hand you an extra plate.
Anywho, I should get ready for work. Sorry about the lack of commenting lately, but I have been reading everyone's entries.
