Its been a while... Lots of things happened.
Most parts of this entry will be me ranting away. Er... At any point you don't understand what I'm typing, its alright ya?
Pork Pie turned 21 on 21. AK + Jet went to her place to give her bday cake after midnight. Was supposed to be a surprised but words sort of got slipped out. Anyway, after we sent her off for her after party, AK -(Dear Lu + Pork Pie) + Jet [gosh this is getting kinda mathematical] went to 24hrs Macs to chill.
I was off on the 21st. So Sugar Bit + Me went to search for Pork Pie's pressie. Ehhh... It was a bit of challenge to think of something Pork Pie will like. Not saying that Pork Pie is fussy.
Looking for cane bags, saw a few from various shops, but with each bag, we both thought there was something that didn't seem quite like the perfect pressie. Some too big, some colour not nice blah blah. We ended up buying her one bag which wasn't cane.
Anyway... Divert a bit ya? I haven't really been out shopping for some time already. Suddenly everything seems so nice and tempting to buy. Or perhaps I just wanted to get stuff which are clearly againsts words written in black and white, but people have broken it because they got something slightly different and yet they got away with it, and I on the other hand, got a warning. If I get warned for this, I'll make sure the others better get it too. Else its unfair to me.
K back to proper post.
So on the 22nd, AK + Jet + YS were suppose to have buffet for Pork Pie's celebration at a hotel.
But because of my blurness, I forgot to check my schedule and I was supposed to work afternoon instead of morning. I only found out when I reached there and saw Cin also ther already. She wasn't able to swap, neither was the part timer. Had no choice but to forgo the celebration.
Anyway, because of that, I wasn't in the mood to do work. Plus I had so much time to kill till afternoon shift starts. Tried to cheer myself up. Bought a magazine and went to TCC for a cuppa & cake. Felt better, but still upset and a bit guilty. So I went to do things which I don't normally do over at the counter (especially when got only so few staff). Normally, I'll write those memos with code and price for the eyebrow trimming only if I'm too bored and I'll only have a few.
Somehow it lifted my mood a little. Hahah.. But wasn't enough la. I went to chop those memo with the brand's stamp.
Then I proceeded on to cut brush bristles. I took a lot of them and just went on to snip snip snip away the bristles. Actually ar.. Cutting expensive brushes is very therapuetic. Well, perhaps its just the cutting action. No wonder people always go for a haircut when they are feeling down. Or those people will cut their wrists to vent anger (not that I've tried or will wanna try...)
Hmmmm... I was cutting in a constructive way ok? I was trimming away the frayed bristles. Not the whole thing and leaving the brush bald. Its the feeling of restoring something back to as good as new that gives the sense of satisfication.
Yl came down to meet me for dinner. I suggested we have Fish&Co so that we could just sit there for the whole hour and yak away. Right... At least some familiar face to talk to.
Then there were super irritating customers who came after that. Both were asking for the same item which is actually limited edition and has already been sold out at my counter. 1 was so demanding... my gosh, I felt like slapping her face.
Bitch1: Do you have this item? (Pointing to the catalog)
Me: Sorry its sold out over here.
Bitch1: Everywhere sold out??
Me: Not too sure bout other places but I can check for you. Which location is more convenient for you?
Bitch1: Whichever that has it lah!
So rude!!! But thats not the end. I had to go to the system's inventory to check. Saw 1 outlet which has it.
Me: Do you want me to make a reservation for you?
Bitch1: Yes...
Me: Then you will go down within this 3 days?
Bitch1: Har? Must go down? Cannot transfer the stock here meh?
Me: Sorry we're not able to do that.
After calling almost 5 times, still no answer.
Me: No one seems to be answering. Would you like their number so that you can call directly to reserve from them?
Bitch1: NO! YOU call them, reserve it then call me back!
She writes her name on the paper and after she was done, she tossed the pen on the counter top, rolling her eyes as she walked away.
WTF?!?!?
Customers are always right? MY FOOT!
Anyway, Bitch2 was also equally bitchy. Somemore she herself works in a jewellery store nearby according to the girl from other counter. She suggested that next time when we're off, we can go to her jewellery shop and act rich, ask her to show us all the big bling bling just to make things difficult for her and waste her time then don't buy.
I don't understand why there are lots of idiotic customers! If its stated that it is a limited edition item and launch date is October, you come in end of October, and still be able to get the product then ok lor. Otherwise, prepare to be disappointed since you don't want to come down earlier lah. Say that you are busy or what its just an excuse lor. Why get so upset when you can't get the item that you must scold the sales person just because you are "busy" and have to time to come and get it? As if they are the ones who control your schedule meh? STUPID!
I think I shall compile a list of stupid things customers do or come and ask me. Some are so dumb, even idiots or guys, those who never put makeup before also will know its just plain common sense. So ya... Can look out for the list soon.
