I have to cover several departments in the next week. Mainly because one person quit. Here is where the confusion comes from. We hired a cashier to work in the garden center. Cashiers don't last long out there. You have to contend with the elements and nobody seems to know anything about the products. This person begged to move to another department. ANY DEPARTMENT! So they made her the cashier in Automotive.
As we all know; some people have the ability to work retail, and some don't. It takes years of practice. Knowing where the boundaries are and what not to do.
Rule #1- Never let them see you sweat
You can admit that you need help and people will empathize. You can even go to the extent of grabbing or asking someone who knows more than you to help. What you can't do is get frustrated and snap. No matter how much you may want to. Take a breath and let it go.
This particular person couldn't do that. She had a bad attitude and it showed. When they coached her, she quit. Just up and quit. So I have to cover her closing shifts out in TLE and her shift in the garden center until we can get in more people.
Lets geht ta da shoe
This guy is apparently a gay sex icon in Germany. This song just makes me giggle.
Fun silliness
The high note for the week. This will be stuck in your head until I find something better next week.
