  • Signs that I endured.

    These are a lot of the signs I worked around, which often got the dumbest replies ever. Some are just fitting, others caused multiple irritations.

    Theres a sign on the front of the Adult store I worked at that was large, neon and read "Parking in REAR!" with an arrow pointing to the back lot.

    Something else of note about that store was that it was in a strip mall type place, and the business next door was Battery World.

    Where I work now, there is a large sign on the dressing room that says "VIDEOTAPING IN PROGRESS" Now of course we don't video tape people getting undressed since it's against the law, they placed it there as a warning to shoplifters. I haven't had a single customer NOT say something about it when I go to grab the key.

    The big red signs with math examples of how 50% off works on an item. Theres also these signs around our winter department that say "40% OFF X BRAND OF PANTS"
    Customer always brings up Y brand of cheap pants and get snippy when they find out they aren't on sale.
    "I thought these pants were 40% off?"

    The inspiration for my name is part of the sign in our store, where the g has been missing since I started working there.

    We have a very large neon orange posterboard sign in our window that states "NOW HIRING!"

    Random teenager #6 of the day. "Are you Hiring?"

    Bonus Pro-tip: If your putting in an application, it's a good idea to come showered and not reeking of booze and carrying a 40oz. (Yes, this seriously happened.)

    Let me set the scene, our store has a rack and display right as you walk in with sales papers and postings of everything we currently have on sale. Everything on sale is marked with painfully bright neon signs both tagged on each item and usually accompanied with a big sign posted above it.

    Why do people still walk in and ask "What do you have on sale?"

    No specifics, no easy question like I dunno, what tents do you have on sale, or what rifles are on sale. >.-.

    i've had guys tell me they've gone into job interviews carrying beer before. mainly it was cos they really didn't want the job, but were suppose to be out looking.

      The guy I'm reffering to, came in at around 8:30 at night, carrying a platic bag with two 40's in it, and proceeded to ask if I was the only girl working, if there were any hot girls working, and if I wanted his number. Then he asked for an application.

        lol. ok now that's lame.

        and signs for here.... we don't have any sale signs but we do have a plethora of signs up.

        My favorites are when they put everything in CAPS and don't bother turning off the "ignore words in UPPERCASE" option for spellcheck. Then we get signs posted with words like HTERE.

        The best was ...they actually had this one professionaly made too... a sign promoting EDUATION opportunities.
        ... yeah, they mispelled "Education" on a sign promoting education...

          Well, that would catch the people with an education's attention. So what if it leaves you looking like you need an education...

            ......and if I wanted his number. Then he asked for an application.
            You should have said "Oh yes! I've been wanting a new number to write on the men's room wall 'For a good time call.....'"
