lol, I can't really do that because I'm walking around a store all day. x'D I mean I could on my break, but I'd have to use my cell phone. x'D

[Maro]

GOOD MORNING EVERYONE! ^^ Hovv're you all?

[trystan830]

ml - yeah, i'm like that on the weekend (fri, sat, sun) except i'm on a register.

morning, Maro!

[ml1201]

Ah, that would explain why for sure. XD We were technically not supposed to have our phones on register, though everyone else always had them. >_>; There was only one time I EVER had my phone on register, and that was when my dad had to be rushed to the hospital, I wanted to keep my phone with me in case I had to leave or something and they were fine with that. One of my coworkers said that they would cover for me if I had to leave since as usual that job had me scheduled as the only cashier.

And now the problem I'm having with my current job is that they don't like hearing the truth about the stores we're in having less people come in during the holidays because its a hardware store. They basically called me a liar during the meeting but the guy made it sound 'pretty' and sugar coated it, but trying to say it's 'our minds falling into that mind set' is total BS when the store's are sending people home because it's slow. =.=; Last I checked that was not my mind playing tricks on me. >_>

yeah, Fri, Sat and Sun i work at a craft store, and then Mon-Thurs i have an office job where i sit at a desk for 6 hours (and play online.... what? i didn't say that...)

we have plenty of customers come in during the holidays for crafts and decor and stuff!

*hugs you*

[ml1201]

Yeah, I'm actually looking to work at that store itself though because they really like me and they like how I can help people easily and get them to buy things. XD All I did the other day was show some people the clearance lights and they left with two lights from that section and three from another. XD I also helped them pick out tiles based on look and price. :3

[trystan830]

just making sure i'm reading this right: you helped customers at a store where you were a customer at as well?

[Lawtan]

I've done that before (the helping customers at a place I buy stuff), though I am not sure that will improve one's chances of getting a job, or not...

[trystan830]

that's pretty cool, too Lawtan. i've done that when i shop at my craft store and i'm not working/off the clock as well.

[MeghanB]

Ha ha, the only place I've done that is at Trader Joe's. People seem to get so chummy when they're shopping there. XD If I see somebody looking at something I like I feel compelled to tell them it's really good. XD

[ml1201]

@trystan
I'm not actually a customer there, I'm a vendor for a company that does contract work for that store. x'D But I'm not supposed to do that per say, I'm supposed to be promoting my company, but I do better at that than I do my company's work, and this store has noticed that. XD

[trystan830]

ml - ahh, i gotcha. but that's cool that the store noticed, right? =D

[Maro]

Hey everyone~

[ml1201]

YEP! XD Though I need to update my application since I didn't know the position they wanted me for was a management position. x'D

[trystan830]

hey, a management position is pretty good too!
