the dot vs. target

"Can I help you find something?"

Oh hai. I work at the super "prestigious" Target in the Bronx now. Jealous? I know you want my 10% discount. Oh, and you envy me in my red and khaki. Don't lie.

personal: work, store: target

Oh you are one of those people. If I wanted help, I'd ask, thanks. It's much harder on me than you. =P

Tell me some stories; you must have met a few assholes by now.

YES I AM. Oh and it sucks SO BAD IT SUCKS IT SUCKS IT SUCKS!

Some people are weird. It's always interesting when men are sent off to but women's clothes/things. You know I got asked about "man bras" today? Assholes. Weirdos. Or just cross-dressers. Whatever.

LMAO. Don't feel bad, I've worked at K-mart for almost 4 years now. [sarcasm] Good times. [/sarcasm]

ETA: We're supposed to acknowledge customers within 10 feet but I never do, haha. I hate customers, sfm. Seriously. :P

Customer's completely freaked me out at first. It took until yesterday AFTER my 45/break for me to actually go "can I help you find something?" I just don't want to seem stupid when I don't know where anything is (which is with a good percentage of them)!

Btw - K-Mart totally said they did not want me! I'm guessing they have higher ~standards~ than Target because I applied their first and nothing. It's all good... I ain't bitter!

Yeah, I was that way at first, too; when I didn't know the store too wel. But I was a cashier first so I hardly had to worry. And now, after being a supervisor (I still am but I moved mainly to clothes -- lingerie), customers do not scare me -- I've learn to loathe most of them. lol

LOL. Who knows why they didn't get back to you, but higher standards? Not likely -- the ones I've worked at ... oye, you should see the people they higher. But then, the Walmart's I've shopped at always had horrible customer service (employees), at least K-mart's seems to be better than that. I still like Target best though ;)

I was scared to death to cashier! But salesfloor has to train to cashier for whenever we have more than 1+1 (more than one person waiting on line) and need backup. It's timed and you have to get 80% or higher... and that's just nerve wrecking. But I got through it, with 100%, and no crazy/angry/irritated customers, which is what I was scared of the most!

K-Mart doesn't want me. Actually, if I remember correctly, I filled out an app online and got all the way to the part where you schedule the interview and basically NOTHING was available for like, months and months. I answered all those crazy questions...only to hit a wall!
