I think my mail carrier takes a three-day weekend. We never get mail on Mondays, and our Tuesday mail is always HUGE. Who can I complain to about this? Everyone else at work got their product boxes today, and I have the feeling that mine will come when my mail guy is good and ready to deliver it. Jerk ( Read more... )

This dude came into the shop yesterday and bought up a whole bunch of stuff for his friend. He was so excited to be in a LUSH shop that he took our picture and made us sign the LUSH Times and everything (this isn't that weird. People get REALLY, REALLY excited about LUSH sometimes). The friend's name was Jan, and the guy who was in the shop was ( Read more... )

This is all kinds of awesome. The only issue is, of course, that guys who would benefit most from that probably don't read ( Read more... )

Blech. Fire alarm is going off in the building. This happens now and then - it would be better if it wasn't this intermittent high-pitched "Eeeeh! Eeeeh! Eeeeeeeeeh!" sound, but at least I was able to sleep until 10 before it started. It goes off for like, five minutes, and then an announcement comes on saying that there's a building alert and the ( Read more... )

Customer: I was just at Bath and Body Works, and they told me you guys have those little balls with bath oil inside? You know, you just drop them into your tub and they dissolve?

Me: Hmm. We have bath oil , but it's in solid form, not little balls. They're just over here.

Customer: I see. But you don't have the little balls?

Me: Unfortunately ( Read more... )

BWAHAHAMan! Do you know what is total ass? Cable packages. Stephen and I want to redo ours (we have eleventy billion channels that we never use, and we don't get the ones we actually want), but the almost-impossible-to-navigate Rogers web site tells us that we have to choose packages. I hate that shit. It should be like ordering pizza. They ought ( Read more... )

Dude, what a crappy day. I feel like all I did at work was give out samples and directions. It is beyond annoying to spend your entire day telling people where stuff is. I AM NOT INFORMATION. I know where the soap is, and that's it. Don't get frustrated with me when YOU ARE THE ONE WHO DOES NOT KNOW WHERE YOU ARE GOING ( Read more... )

There is an annoying trend afoot in lushcosmetics lately. People like posting about their recent orders (that's not the annoying part) and then complaining about the samples they get. The complaints are as follows ( Read more... )

Man, what a grumpy day. There is some kind of Caribana thing going on at Dundas Square, so people keep coming into the shop to ask for directions. They like interrupting me while I'm with customers (because despite two other people on the floor who are all ready to help, people always have to ask THE BROWN GIRL where the Caribana stuff is ( Read more... )

Sigh! Day off!

The last couple of days at work have been driving me bananas. It's the beginning of summer, so there are tons of people in the store (which you'd think would be a good thing), but it's like they don't actually want to shop. It's just waves upon waves of people who stand in the doorway sniffing the soap at the front of the shop and ( Read more... )
