The end of my 1st day at Seiyu.
The TOYS Department!!!!
Ok...was supposed to go to Menswear at first but swapped with the Malay guy who oso started work today.
Should have stuck with Menswear. heard it was quite slack there! Guess men don't do much shopping. My dad doesn't even buy his own clothes! LOL.
My feet still hurt after standing for almost the whole day...no breaks in btwn except for lunch...I think I'll emerge from this job having A LOT more respect for sales personnel. When you're walking around straightening stuff, replenishing stock, etc etc, a cashier's job seems so much easier (and they get more pay per hour!). At least they get to sit! But of course it probably isn't as easy as it seems...
Was really, really blur. Wish I could wear a sign that said, "I'm NEW. I don't know anything yet!" But to customers, there's no such thing; they expect any staff present to be able to help them. So there I was, having to keep asking the full-time staff in the department (especially Auntie Florence) whether the store carried this toy, etc etc. Luckily, they were amazingly patient...I wish i had more product knowledge, but the promoters are there, especially those in charge of all the racer cars etc etc...But for today, I was a complete blur sotong, unsure about where everything was...
But gwen, apparently, had a worse time than I did in the Shoe department. Not only did she have to keep going into the store room to get different shoe sizes and models, her supervisor/manager happened to be this very loud mouthed, egoistic lady...................................................................
No wonder she wants to quite after this week. Sigh.
There's a shop in Parco that wants sales assistants. Think I'm asking them how much the pay is and what the hours are. If both are much better than Seiyu's I think I might switch jobs. Feel better selling clothes/makeup than toys, and small shops seem friendlier. Though if I did, I'd feel guilty about quitting b4 my time was up...
But when I get my pay, I can get all the Arashi CDs and DVDs I want! Yeah! and that will be...around $200? Slightly more.
