I swear, if things get any slower at work I will just go nuts. The thing about retail work is that if you don't have any customers (or very few), no stock to put out and nothing to clean up, there really is nothing to do. Our sales goals were way too high for today. There is no real sale going on, no coupon, nothing. Therefore, the amount of customers goes down considerably. One of our managers said (LOUDLY) "Why don't we try selling something today?" when he saw us standing together. Debbie, our bridal consultant, said (just as LOUDLY) "Why don't you get some customers in here?" Good thing the manager was Chris. I think he was just being facetious--he sometimes does that. O.K.--he always does that.
Too many people were just looking for bargains. Unfortunately, there were none to be had today. The minute they found out nothing was really on sale, they left.
The one good thing was that most people who did buy were really, really, nice today. Must be the good weather.
Also, tomorrow is a co-worker's birthday, so we got her a card and I baked an Italian Cream Cake (one of my mother's recipes) At least we had cake. Yum!
