Jesus. Hmm, there's a general idea among customers that you have to walk them where stuff is, I have no idea why, it's just so impractical walking someone to a product when they're going to just be indecisive (the idiots who can't find shit on shelves are always the ones that are indecisive and waste time).Casmira said:
I was wondering if you know how did she get the job at Star City?PwarYuex said:Customer (calls across shop) "Excuse me how much is this TV?" (plasma)
Me (yells back) "... oh the one with the big price ticket *pauses as she still looks like she needs healp* can you bring the price ticket here so i can see it?"
Customer ACTUALLY takes ticket and brings it to me. The entire store starts laughing at this woman.
My friend works at Star City, she has the coolest stories
No idea. Just by looking at the website you can apply there. It's a tough job, though, you need to be on what's called a 24/7 rotating roster, which means you need to say you are available to work, then they prescribe you X amount per week, and rotate you every week (they give two weeks notice of roster, though, I think), you'd get a full week just doing the night shift of 8PM-4AM. Also you need to do like 2 weeks training. You also have to get the Casino version of an Responsible Service of Alcohol License, which is pretty intrusive- when I got the Sony Employee Security check, they rang up about 4 people I know and had a chit chat, weird considering that I "got the job" so easily, whilst getting put through such a scrutinising security test.Trogie said:
Pfft doesn't seem worth it, what's the pay like? does it compensate for the for the late nights and the crazy drunken gamblers?PwarYuex said:
Yeh I know, I wasn't having a go at you, it's just that in my few years of retail I've notice that some lame customers expect you to show them where stuff is- and THESE are the customers that will walk there (with you) and procrastinate and try to haggle.Casmira said:
i remember when i worked in layby (for like 2 weeks at xmas) i was getting really pissed off at this chick who is like a allrounder - can do any section in the store.. and she would get all the numbers mixed up, so when the layby was in bay 96 and we couldnt find it, we assumed she put it away and it was in 69.. 80% of the time we were right_Bushra_ said:
Yeah, when we were opening a pilot store in the city, this new guy kept just sticking layby/reserved shit in any area, rather than putting it in the predesignated place. It pissed everyone off - the state manager and I told him to be careful, and he kept doing it out of sheer laziness. I got pissed off and told him that he had to clean the entire back room and reoganise everything with stickers FACING OUT (damnit annoys me when people don't do this, it's actually against Sony OH&S as things can fall on people's heads if they are looking through shit), and it worked_muse_ said:i remember when i worked in layby (for like 2 weeks at xmas) i was getting really pissed off at this chick who is like a allrounder - can do any section in the store.. and she would get all the numbers mixed up, so when the layby was in bay 96 and we couldnt find it, we assumed she put it away and it was in 69.. 80% of the time we were right
