My First Job

Last night was my first shift working at the Vans store in the mall, right next to Nordstrom's. I clocked in at 6 and worked until around 10:15, with a ten minute break at 8:15. Let's just say it was a hectic experience. There's actually a lot more to working at Vans store besides folding clothes and getting different sizes of shoes for people...actually, not really. But it's harder than it looks!

It's policy to get three different pairs of shoes, two pairs of socks, and one can of shoe cleaner - for each customer. Plus, when the customer is done shopping, I have to "runback" the extra products IMMEDIATELY, or I get in trouble. Sounds easy, right? Try doing that for five people at a time. You are eventually running back and forth, literally, to get what they need. And most of the time they are really unappreciative. It goes to show that no matter what people can do for each other, most of the time they don't care. They just want stuff.
