They gave us donuts, milk, juice for our graduation. The assistant manager came in with our completion certificates and business cards of our assigned departments. I was assigned Men's Shoes cuz I worked for a shoe store (yeah, 4 years ago). She said if we don't like our departments we can switch at our review time in 3 months. 2 got in their desired departments and I with another girl went to departments we never worked in before/and didn't like. I ran into a regular customer from the airport and he was surprised they didn't put me in fragrances like they said. I will be quitting as soon as I can. It took 2 weeks and 4 interviews to get this job, so I can get another. I didn't go to California, spend a fortune on make up supplies (4 bags plus an air brush in a box to make 5), work 14 hour days during my 2 week notice, and take a pay cut to work in Men's shoes. I told everybody if they put me anywhere but fragrances, I'm leaving. I am past the following the carrot believing their b.s. stage. I filled out an application at Sephora on my lunch break. They have cashier and night stock available. Tomorrow I will apply at the Merle Normans at the malls and then call the movie person who rented a car and a event planner since I finally can breathe.

In Men's Shoes, I tossed the business cards and graduation certificate in the garbage. I won't be around for long. My trainer was upset they said we were placed where help was most needed. They didn't need me, if fact me makes them over staffed and will cut into their sales. They get commission here, 9%, but the trainer showed on the computer he sells about $100 on weekdays ($9) and $500 on the weekends ($45), but that doesn't make up for the lies. My trainer is 28, oldest of 6 kids, not married, no kids, and asked to close for him so he can babysit his nephew. I never closed so I was really uneasy doing it by myself, and working by myself too. He said someone will help me close so I finally consented. He felt so guilty he decided to stay and I sent me home. Then the assistant manager called me to the kids shoe department twice to help out. The gal was so unhappy they didn't send me to her, she needs help. The second time the sole worker asked me to cover her 2 hours lunch break (overtime is not allowed so they are making them take 2 hours lunch breaks when they are scheduled over 40 hours). My trainer said no to covering the break, I'm needed here and it is not my job to cover their breaks. Ok. When he took lunch I got busy with 4 people wanting shoes (full service in a fancy department store) and the guy in the next section came over to help me. I had a lady on the phone reciting shoe numbers off the internet, which mean nothing to me, cause we have a sale going on and she wants to get them from us so would be cheaper than the internet. The next section guy took her name and number so I could help the present people. People standing in front of me always go first before phone calls. Then why do they not have a hold button? My trainer called her back and explained the internet sales do not take place in the stores and the store sales do not roll over into the internet. Then looked for her shoes since he knew what she was talking about. Well now Precious snoring on my feet and Frodo is on the cat tower since I am not playing with them. Don't worry, in an hour they will be ready to play. Later.
