Random stuff to blog about

Big news of the day....I got a job offer at one of the hospitals in town as a buyer.  The down side is that it's only temporary. I'll be filling in for a lady that will soon be on maternity leave.  We'll see where this job takes me....hopefully to a full time somewhat permanent job.

Tomorrow will be my last day at Old Navy.  It can't come soon enough.  I wish I had more money to use the discount to my advantage but that's about all that I'll miss.  Some people made it sound like it was a fun place to work...um yeah I didn't really see that. I guess it's only fun there when you don't have any customers.

Today was fun though.  I found out just how much people don't like to read.  I had two customers today get mad at me over sale signs. One lady was looking at a table that had various sweaters and underneath the table on another shelf there were a few stacks of corduroy pants.  I asked her if she needed help and she said she found the size she needed then asked me if the pants were 75% off.  I scanned the tag and it had some percentage off but not the 75% off.  She then said in a huffy voice "well then why are they on the table that has a 75% sign".  I read the sign to her...." 75% off assorted sweaters" no mention about corduroy pants.  Then probably 10 minutes later another lady stopped at a table I was working on that had henley tank tops and jeans.  The lady stops to look at the jeans and says "are these 40% off?"  I told her no...that the jeans were regular price.  She then asked me why the sign said 40% off....I then read the sign to her "40% off henley tank tops"....I should find a job where I just read sale signs to people.

Other than reading signs  to customers most of my job at the ON involves folding and refolding clothes and putting stuff in the right place. I have come to hate the customers that come in  and pick up a shirt, look at it, throw it down pick up the next shirt, look at it and then throw it back down.  I also hate the customers that that try to fold the clothes and instead just make a big ball and shove it in the place they think they got it from.  When they trained us how to fold clothes they told us they do a 3-second fold.  You shake the item out, look at like items and how they are folded and within 2-3 easy flips you have a folded shirt or pant.  It's really not hard.  I also hate the people that go around shopping and then all of sudden say "oh nevermind...I can't continue shopping here...I'll just leave this stuff here on this convenient table of boys t-shirts.  Yeah...I tried giving the evil glare to customers while I'm folding the same damn shirt for the billionth time but most of them don't notice.
