It really does
 Work stories to share again! So yesterday, there was this bunch of office people looking at trees. I didn't really approach them full-on because I know they are just survey the trees to return and discuss with their boss, so I just casually remarked the heights. I always knew that office people have a budget when it comes to buying Christmas tree, but this particular group wanted to get a tree at $20. You can just see my face judging them slightly as I replied that we don't have such tree. So I was walked another direction hoping the prices will just repel them eventually. But unfortunately, they spotted our $57 potted tiny Christmas tree at a corner and approached me again. So I just said that's $57 and the guy who asked me backed off. But, another guy who obviously did not get the idea of the price of the Christmas tree approached me and this is how our conversation went: Let's call him OG(Office guy)OG: Excuse me, how much is that tree?A: $57.OG: That short one over there?A: $57!OG: That small golden one? (start gesturing its height with him hand)A: Ya, $57!I'm like, no matter how many times you ask, the price won't go down! Another angmoh guy was looking at the lights and decided that he shall take the clear colour one. But after his wife joined him, he told me he's going to "grab a burger" and left. Now, I understand it's dinnertime and people are hungry, but how long does it takes to grab a bloody burger that he never returned?! People like that infuriates me. Oh I sold a tree to this adorable young girl yesterday. Usually I don't go over to serve parents with kids cause they either are just introducing Christmas trees to their kids or marveling that the Christmas decorations. So I was resting my heels yesterday when this young girl stood next to the cashier staring at me. I turned to face her cause she was just staring and not speaking and it took me 3 seconds to respond an "oh" and follow her as she ran to point to me which tree she wants. It was a silent deal. She was silently choosing everything she wants, the tree, the ornaments, the star to put at the top of her tree. She is so cute. Joyce thinks that whatever escapes my mouth is nonsense. >:( That's just mean. I was making weight jokes with Joyce and she was making height jokes with me. The feeling was mutual. Oh my, Joyce is so cute. Labels: christmas, work stories, working |
