Been lurking for a while and decided that it is time to sign up and tell some stories. These stories are from when I worked at a store that I will call "Hardly Normal". Most Australians will get the reference.
Hardly Normal is a large chain but what most people don't realise is that it is a Franchise. In each of the stores will be a number of Franchises for each of the sections. In my store there were Electrical, Computers and Furniture franchises plus an Admin and Warehouse section.
I worked in the Computer Franchise doing sales, running the photocenter, being a computer tech, receiving goods in the warehouse and returning faulty goods at different times. In fact, I did everything job their except for cashier and manager, although I had the access in the POS to do those jobs.
My background is IT and I had been a contractor until a lack of work resulted in me working retail. I have since left and gone back to IT work but I will not discuss my current job as my employer has some very strict policies about it.
Anyway, Hello from the Top End of Australia.
