sales
Yesterday was my first day of work selling clothes at G2000 at ngee ann city. Those interested can go there and look for me ok? Though I probably won't be able to give anyway discount, because almost all the stuff there are on discount!
It was actually quite a dumb first day. I didn't want to be late plus I had to settle some other minor stuff before reaching the work place, so I went out quite early. But I was too early so I had to walk around the place before still arriving for work too early. Haha. Then my colleagues started teaching me some stuff in the afternoon since there weren't many customers around, which was correct as I do need alot of guidence in how they work. But the funny thing is that the colleague teaching me was treating me like a idiot? Haha... the kind of questions that she was asking to make sure I know my work was totally laughable.
Some interesting stuff happened though. The operations manager went down to see us work. And all the senoir staff got screwed. She was fierce. Luckily it was only my first day of work so she gave me some leeway. And I do have some interesting colleagues who will serve customers with a smile in the front and go to the back all swearing at cursing at the same customers.
For a first day of work, as predicted, my back was feeling the strain by the end of the day. Luckily there was an hr break which I recuperated. The standing was already torturing enough and we had to climb up and down to get clothes inside the store room. I nearly died at the end of the day. Haha...
I'm working today and tommorrow as well. I guess I do need some getting used to the long hours of work. But its good training as well. I get to practise smiling a lot and speak more english to customers. The 2 extremes of work... scolding my students on some days of the week while catering to unreasonable customers on other days.
