It wouldn't be such a PITA to ring up the ribbon if we didn't have to do 50 steps to ring up ONE yard of ribbon. If they'd streamline that process for us, so we only had to press one button or something, it wouldn't be so bad.
You know who are the BEST? The ones who want...everything on the spool. That's not a full spool--BUT you can tell not much has been cut off. So you have to measure the whole damned roll. By the time you get finished with that, half the time, they'll decide "nevermind, I found something in the dollar ribbon I like better..."
Or when you're trying to scan all that ribbon (and the 50-11 steps it takes...) the customer gets all antsy and bitchy if you don't roll it up RIGHT AWAY, but hell no THEY won't roll it up, as that would cause things to go faster, and we can't have that, can we?
(And if there is a way to ring up partial yards [say, a foot]--I don't want to learn it.)
Also, at my store, the by the yard ribbon has a sign up that says something like "see a sales associate for assistance" to get it cut. Which means, they search you out and get huffy when you direct them to the registers. Can't they change the sign to say "Bring ribbon to register to be cut. They have nifty yardsticks..with TWO labels on them...to tell them...how to cut it"
I babble again.
And too my dear co-workers. When you are doing the go-backs---DON'T throw the by the yard ribbon (or any of the name brand shit) into the dollar ribbon. I'd like to blame the customers soley for that one, but it's not just them. Dammit. lol
