Shoebilee

Ok, since we are on the topic of shoebilee, I thought i would add the time when Me and Renee were working i cant remmeber who else was working, but anyway it was a really busy weekend probably one of our annoying sidewalk sales and at the time i was Asst.Manager it must of been a sunday because Marlen wasnt there. I was dealing with so many annoying customers and Renee as usual was so energetic and happy with all these bargin hunters..... aka- jews.... Ok so Renee was at the register ringing people up, her favorite job!! i literally had to tear renee away from registar duty. She gets to this lady mind you the lines are like out the door, renee calls me to the register, i come over and the lady preceeds to tell me that this shoe (babyshoe) has a scuff on it and she wants to know if she can get money off , mind you this is the display shoe and the only one we have so it is already marked down to like $10 and its nike brand, so of course she is annoying me, i tell her since it does have a scuff on it, (which by the way i couldnt even see) i tell her i will take another 10% off basically making the shoe a steal, but no she actualy had the nerve to complain again. So, me being the person that i am say listen lady " the shoe is already marked down because its the last shoe and i am going to give you 10% off on top off that, so what do you want? i cant give you the shoe for free either take it or put the shoe back" at this point i think she relizes that she is not going to bargain anymore and she shuts up, i ask her again do you want the shoe or not? and her husband says yes we will take it. I will never forget Renee's face she was like OMG i cant believe you just said that, she was shocked but told me it was awesome. I am not sure if that is what started her "say whats on your mind personality" but either way i thought it was a funny story.

OMG! I totally forgot about that story! I couldn't believe you were talking to a CUSTOMER like that! lol I was so shocked. Rebeca taught me all I need to know about customer service...lol Thats how I became an asst. manager. Lol those were good times.
BTW, Rebeca...I was the best employee that you ever had and you know it! Do you remember how I used to sing when I vaccuumed? i didnt know anyone could hear me over that LOUD thing.

Oh, so the definition of 'best employee' is one who always shows up to work late and/or has to have their manager/sister call to wake her up for work? :D

LOVE YOU NAY!!!

P.S. I think Michelle would disagree with that statement, right Shelly?

LOL ha!! thats really funny jay, i was thinking the same thing when i read the best employee thing... she was always late wasn't she?? when i was the asst. manager i just started scheduling her a half hour before i really needed her in, without her knowledge of course. ;)
