Hey.
Today, it was very peaceful at the shop(ie.low sales). I arrived for work. Rohana was already there(of course lah, she opened the shop). She was knocking off at 4.30pm today. Shi Yng was coming at 4pm. So today I ruled for half of the day. Haha.
(By the way there'll be a special character in this entry. =>)
We had to transfer out some stock. Rohana said someone called in the morning to tell her to out some stuff. So I told her to go ahead. I thought that Shi Yng had taught her the procedure so I let her do it on her own. Besides, if she weren't sure of anything she can ask me, right? So I did my own stuff and she did hers. After that she went to pack the stocks(for replenish) that came yesterday. By the way she also took out some stock to be "out-ted'- put on display(you will know later why i am crapping so much about this). She had already done this yesterday, taking out some stock to 'out', and asking me if they were already on display. Since she were asking me these stuff about putting the new stock on display, I assumed she knew how to check for which stock that had to be displayed. FYI, for a particular design, every size available must be displayed. If there is more than one colour, the sizes can be 'shared' by the different colours. For example, if there are two colours, red and black available for a particular design, the display pieces will be Red-Small size, Black-Medium size, Red-Large size, so on and so forth. Ok... fast forward.
When Shi Yng came in, she was on the edge of committing suicide. Waiting for her were 3 voided transactions, tons of work, and a lot of patchings-up. When Rohana transferred out the stock, she didn't take those on display to be transferred out. So Shi Yng had to go find the display pieces and do the computation again. When Rohana was picking out stocks to be displayed from the newly-arrived goods, she didn't take what she was supposed to take. For example, she only took out the Small and Medium size for a blouse. And there were lots more trouble. Piles of articles were all around the floor, and nobody knew they were new stock or stuff that Rohana was packing back. So, after Shi Yng's numerous rants of "气死我了！", all was finally settled.
I felt I was partly responsible. I shouldn't have assumed that Rohana knows everything. Sigh.
After that I went to play my CD in the DVD player. It has over 100 tracks(mp3 format). Wah, shiok. I was having sing-along sessions for the whole day long. Avril, Jay, JJ, Jojo. All my favourite songs. I didn't play it in the morning because there were too many Chinese songs in it and I doubt Rohana would understand.
Shi Yng and I decided to rearrange the formal clothes. Jacket suits, pants, skirts. I guess Suet Ling would be fuming mad if she sees what we've done. HAHAHA.
I suggested putting the blue group at the entrance(it was red before this). After that we wrecked our brians to figure out how to arrange the rest. We permutated and experimented with different combinations to make the display racks as beautiful as they could.
Then came this Indian guy(with real Indian roots. his accent. so bolly bolly). I reckoned that he came from Karnataka cause he look so nerd and IT. Glasses and laptop case. Shi Yng was complaining to me that this Indian guy wanted to buy a cheap pair of pants for another woman, who, as he described, is very skinny. He wanted it cheap, but those that are on 50% off weren't to his liking. This wasn't the exact problem. The problem is that we don't get what hi was talking about. His accent lah. In the end he got a pair of beige pants on 50% discount. There's this cotton kinda belt for it. Then he was asking,"Can this be used as a bEaUt(yep, there's no such word in the dictionary)?" We asked him to repeat himself a few times, before I asked him to spell it out. B-E-L-T. He seemed as frustrated as we were. He found the belt too thin and the thicker ala carte ones too expensive. So, he went off, not before his mother messed up the $20/$23 cardigans. Sucker. Wait. He is not the special character i'm talking about.
So many brain cells-of me and Shi Yng-died after the manual work, finding the best way possible to arrange the clothes. We were so damn tired after that.
---Welcome to the entry Finale---
I was folding the cardigans at the front when this (quite) hot guy came in. He asked me,"Excuse me, do you have sleeveless white turtlenecks?" Cool. I love guys that are fluent in English. So I led the way to the turtleneck section. Turned out the there were no white ones anymore. So I told him there's another design, but it comes with cap sleeves. He preferred sleeveless ones, though. So I asked Shi Yng for help. The guy said that he needs around 14 pieces, and latest by Monday, cause he needs it on Tuesday. After numerous phone calls and stuff, Shi Yng found out that there was a total of 21 pieces available outlet-wide. So I got his name and contact number(for official use, duh) for future reference. Name: Glen. Cool. Contact no.: 9*******. Cool. Ear piercings and a lil' spiked hair. Cool. Haha. After confirming everything, Shi Yng told him the "he"(HQ people) will call him tonight. As the above dialogue is in Mandarin(Cool, he knows Mandarin too), the guy was maybe mistaken or something, and he asked,"Huh? For a date ar?" HAHAHA. Crazy. He must have too much self-ego. Anyway, he went off after that. (Yes, he's the man you guys have been waiting for.)
Shi Yng and I were left there discussing stuff about him, saying what those clothes must be meant for a dance troupe, and that he needed it on Tuesday because there is a performance or competition on that day. Shi Yng told me she loves dance. She said that I mustn't take off on Monday so that I could see the guy again, and also ask him about the requirements for joining his dance club etc. Hahaha. Day-dreamers.
---End of Finale---
Later that night I called Jason(Operations Manger) to ask him about the Staff's Discount Voucher. (Shi Yng was forcing me to buy my stuff cos the sales was damn poor.) He said that there'll be a 10% discount for offer items and bags. Yay! Good. Very good.
The sales was only $300++ at 8pm. Plain insanity. Luckily, the day was saved by two women- one buying a $79 jacket suit and the other purchasing items at $101++ in a single receipt. Phew.
Shi Yng. her boyfriend and I went to S&K/IP Zone after work. Not together, of course. We walked separate ways. I had told her there was a storewide 60% discount earlier and that i was going there after work. She's copying me, ok? Then she said I was following them. There's this pole with a TV in it and i made a roundabout when she and her boyfriend were coming around the corner. They didn't see me, and I ended up behind them when before that I was in front. Heehee.
It's a scam! Only the tops are applicable for 60% discount. The rest are on 40% discount. SCAM! SCAM! SCAM! In the end we ended up going home empty ended. Hahaha. =>
What a day. =)
