I worked a very hectic and crazy full shift yesterday. I swear I've never held sooo much women's denim in my life. It's been where I've been assigned to the past two to three weeks. Give me another week and I'd probably be able to memorize each and every denim wash there is in the collection. I pretty much have the fits & styles down pat.
Anyway, I was helping this customer who turned out to be a Filipina find a size in the 1969 gauchos. As I was waiting for the walkie stock check to come through, she was semi-complaining to me about the prices of the 1969s as compared to the other jeans available in the store. I explained to her that the premium denims were partially hand made, of higher quality material, the brand's semi-answer to the over priced designer/status denims blah blah blah... Then, she tells me that "Wow! that means I'm high end. Because I buy the 1969s EVEN if they're expensive!!!" Tsk! Tsk! Believe me, she was dead serious telling me this. It was in this stuck up and high and mighty way. We didn't have her size but she still bought them in the size which obviously was too small for her. I told my co-worker who was a Filipino himself about it and he said "Boy, does she have a wrong impression of how it is in America!" He pretty much explained it and I agree with him.
On my one hour break, I walked around the mall and went into j.crew. You see, a couple of weeks back, I was helping these two customers over at Men's find whatever they needed. They asked about how I liked working there, if I liked the style, were my co-workers friendly etc... etc... blah blah blah... Before he left, he shook my hand and introduced himself as one of the new managers assigned next door and asked me to see him for a possible job. I wasn't sure if they were just playing around. Little did I know I was already going through a job interview that day because I saw him at the store!!! I didn't approach him anymore though although I'm curious... hmm....
I also helped this lady buy her first pair of jeans in awhile. She doesn't own any pair at all!!!! Her husband nudged me and said that he could attest to that. She says that she just never felt comfortable in them and could never find a good fitting pair! That was interesting.
On the last hour of my shift, I was approached by an Asian mom and her three kids. She asked me for jeans (but of course!) for her daughter who was going off to college at Smith in Massachusetts this fall. She asked me what I would think would be best for tops so I brought her a few which I thought would be good for school. That started it, she never let me go! She told me not to leave them. I spent that last hour going around the store like their personal shopper! Her daughters absolutely hate shopping but since she was going off to college, she better get some so the mom was making them shop! While we were deciding on what they should get, she was asking me about me so I asked them about them too. Turned out they're from the Himalayas! She said that the reason I got along so well with them was because they were from the mountains and I was from the islands (!?!) hahahhaa!!!! Anyway, after they bought a ton of stuff. They all hugged me which really surprised me. They were really grateful for making things soo easy for them when they hated shopping. (Goodness! how can I ever hate shopping!?! hahahaha!?! ) They also tugged me towards our manager and told her how helpful and nice I was. hahahahaha!!! Hindi lang nila alam, natuwa lang ako mamili ng damit for them!!!
