Christmas 2014 Bonus Strip #5
Customer: Excuse me! Do you work here?
Sparrow (thinking): Uh-oh, she’s going to ask a question. This place is huge, and I’ve only worked here for a week. I don’t know anything yet!
Is there a changing room on this floor? Um, probably, but I don’t clean it, so I haven’t seen it. Can I recommend a nice brand of decorative soap? I can’t afford any of the decorative soaps, let alone compare them. Which way are the cardigans? I just folded ten cardigans, I know they’re here somewhere, but I still have no idea. It’s not like they train us! They just toss us out onto the sales floor, and assume we’ll pick up everything we need as we go. I am less than useless. Do not ask me anything. I will be shot-in-the-dark guessing, you’d have just as much luck doing the same thing yourself!
Sparrow: I sure do! What can I help you with?
Customer: Which way is the exit?
Sparrow: Go straight down that aisle, turn left at the registers.
Customer: Thank you! You’ve been so helpful.
Get me out of the dimension of Christmas commercialization!
(Woah, I spelt that right?)
I recently worked for 8 weeks in a popular retail shop. All the stories are true!
