The manager is going on holiday again, but this time we’re getting a substitute. The rule now is: I’m not even allowed to look at the computer while she’s there.
Well, I’m going to follow this rule. When the new girl gets completely muddled up and needs help putting through my sales, we’ll just have to get one of the other girls to help her. Even if they are busy with customers. We’ll just let customers wait. Because I’m not allowed to help her like I have capably been doing the past few days. Great plan.
But what really irks me the most is the lopsidedness of the shop! There is ONE person on the selling floor (and when I’m out to lunch there’s NOBODY on the selling floor) but there are going to be FOUR people in the office. Does that make sense to you? It doesn’t make sense to me.
The really nice girl does help out on the floor occasionally, and I’ve thanked her for this, but you’d get the impression that the core of our business was secretarial work, when in actual fact it’s selling furniture.
Oh, and a note to consumers this post-Christmas: It’s not the law that all products be reduced for post-Christmas. And it’s not against the law for the products from your pre-Christmas sale to go back up in price after Christmas.
And finally, a note to the Asians who were looking at the leather lounges: I am paid to know stuff about furniture. If I tell you that a lounge is half-leather, and explain that it means that the parts you sit on and touch are leather and the parts you don’t sit on are vinyl, then this is the truth. Don’t go asking other staff members for their opinions and then complain if they display the same knowledge as me. Oh, and use some mouthwash, your breath smells horrible.
