After the week I've had I just had to vent to others that understand. I work at a fabric and craft store, at the fabric counter. Fun, right? Sometimes it is, really. As a getting to know you starter, here are my top pet peeves:
1)Your prices/sales/coupons are SO confusing! Maybe they are. Was I at all involved in the process? Nope.
2)Take a number? But there's no one waiting! Yes there is. Alternately: But I've been standing in line! Hint: there is no line, so I guarantee you were not standing in it.
3)You don't have wi-fi? That's dumb, how can I get your app so I can get a coupon? Okay, this is a geography thing. Our store is close to a national border. (US/Canada) And roaming data is costly, I totally understand. But we still don't have wi-fi.
And finally...
4)Not being prepared. Picture this. It's a busy weekend during the holiday season. As usual, we are understaffed. The wait is long, possibly 15-30 minutes. But the customer stuck it out, and I'm ready to help. Here is the response to my "how much can I cut for you?" Customer: "Oh." *digs through giant purse and pulls out paper* "Um..... Well.... So. I need 5 13" x 13" squares, a 26" x 2" strip, and enough for some chair cushions, just regular size." Nuff said.
Also, co-workers. But that's another story! Anyway, hi!
