hi. i live at the mall

I am currently on my third job at the same mall.
I work at a sporting goods store, I worked at a clothing store for about 2 months, and now I also work at a kiosk for cable services.

Let me tell you, being in a kiosk is hell.
Luckily I don't have to grab at people like the cell phone guys, but you'd be surprised at the stupid things people ask me. First of all, they treat me like a directory or customer service. They ask where such and such a store is and where to get some certain item in town. We have a lot of Dell equipment at our kiosk. Our big LCD TV, 4 computers, and printer are all by Dell and people come up and try to order Dell products from me. How hard is it to look around you at the Cable signs all lit up, the flyers on the countertop, and the internet self-install kits that have our name on them in huge letters? It's rediculous.

I've become friends with some of the security guards here as well and I got to overhear a conversation with a woman over the phone. Basically she had dropped her 13 year old son and his friend off at the mall at 10 when it opened and they hadn't shown up at home by 5 so she called the mall security. She wanted them to page the boys over an intercom system in the mall. Now this isn't the mall of America, but it is pretty freakin' big. There is no overhead paging system in the corridors and there isn't a way to override the paging systems in all of the stores. He basically told her she was shit out of luck and to not leave her 13 year old kid at the mall alone for 7 hours.

i'm looking for some style advisors for my community glamnation if anyone is interested please visit the community and fill out the application! thanks.

Hey. When I was a kid (I grew up poor and very little has changed) for entertainment we would go "window shopping" So now for fun I hang out in malls.

It's weak, but it's free!

Hi!

*waves*

So, I have laryngitis. And not just the kind where you lose your voice and it is just crappy. I have the kind hat feels as thought razor blades are being swallowed. The doc at the ER gave me some drugs and told me no speaking for 2 days and no work...


Let me remind everyone... I am the Store Manager for a Spencers.... Exactly HOW am I supposed to do that?!!

stupid person of the day award.

We were crazy busy tonight. We ended up at 64% or so over plan. We've been on a roll here lately. Our two highest days were 92% and 94% over plan. WOOT.

That being said, we are all in a REALLY good mood. Well, I am sitting behind the cash and wrap dilligently looking for something when this hoard of mall rats come up to the counter to buy a poster. Typical.. nothing funny here. Then this quite amusing conversation happens.

*we're burning some nag champa in there and it makes the store smell so nice. There are 4 girls to this. so they will appropriatly named*

Girl#1: What is that smell?
*fart machine just magically goes off on the most obnoxcious one*
all girls: AHHHH..
Chris (sales supervisor): Well, it's not that.
girl #2: IS THAT WEED?!?!
Chris: (pulls down the incense to show them what it is) No.. it's Nag Champa
Girl#2: is that weed? OMG.. I thought that was weed. Did you say it was weed?
Chris: (with the I WILL KILL YOU look) No.. nag champa. See?
girl #3: What is that
Chris and I: Incense
girl #4: It's probably weed (and then leaves)
me: nooooo... not weed. Incense
Girl #3: What is that again?
Me: An Incense stick.
girl#3: What is incense?
Chris: Something you light, like candles, to make your house smell good.
girl #1: not with that.
Chris: Well, there is no accounting for personal taste.
Girl 1 and 3: You can eat it??

That.. is when we all lost our minds...we were done..

X-Posted in many places..

Some lady came in my store today (i work in a shoe store) and while we helped her her little kid messed up our sale display. He ripped down all the boxes and "reorganized them" in a massive pile. She then had the gall to say "At least you have something to do now".

what. a. raging. whore.
