Lifeguard training? Sounds useful! I also am also trying to slip into another job description. Apparently retail is not for those who are not a people person.
Or maybe it is...?
My favorite waitress was so sour with all the customers that we took to calling her "Pickles." Everyone always asked to sit in her section just to see how she would insult us next.
A friend of mine is a bit 'rotund' and as we were waiting for Pickles to come wait on us she was telling me about her boyfriend leaving her. Just as Pickles walked up to take our order, suddenly one of my friend's blouse buttons flew off with force and landed over 5 feet away.
Pickles' head followed the trajectory of the button, then she looked back at the girl. We all thought she was going to insult the girl's size, but instead she said, "Not even your buttons want to stay with you."
I guess she'd been listening in on the girl's conversation as she was nearing the table. Even my friend laughed, which was good because I was choking trying not to.
I know being a waitress is service industry and not retail - but if a sour waitress can draw customers to her, surely you can curmudgeon in customers to your products in retail, lol.
