Pink Room
Today I worked in a section called the Pink Room aka lingerieee! It's basically a random section of the store that has painted pink walls and is set up to represent a "bedroom". Think of it as a mini victoria's secrets lol. I had to arrange all these bras and panties and a huge shelf of a bajillion t-shirts. I spent most of my time folding t-shirts because when people browse through them, they open it up or like knock piles over. It got really annoying! There's a desk thing that looks like something from Victoria's Secrets that holds the underwear. there's drawers that says x-small, small, medium, large, etc. Except we don't exactly sort it according to size. It's more like me shoving random panties in whatever drawer has space LOL. There's this huge mirror in the Pink Room and it's probably the only full length mirror in the whole store, so a lot of people try on clothes in front of it.
Why is it so bad? Because whatever they don't like, they throw it on top of the panties desk and I end up with a giant pile of clothes from god-knows-where. I tried to block off the mirror with this rack of lingerie but people kept shoving it over so they could use the mirror.
One man was topless as he was trying on t-shirts. A woman had her jeans at her ankles so she could see what she looked like with our skirt. At first I was telling people to use the dressing rooms but I soon realized they didn't give a crap about what I said. So i gave up and just made room on a rack for the random pieces of clothing they dumped. One of my managers told me that some lady on the third floor once stood there with only bra and panties on LOL. Some people are not afraid to go public in their birthday suits.
Some lady got caught shoplifting and the cops came. I only heard about this, I didn't see. But apparently it happens pretty often.
I didn't realize how busy the store was today because not alot of traffic goes on in the lingerie section (People don't really go to Forever21 for their bras&panties lol thank god). But when I tried to return random pieces of clothing to their rightful spots, I couldn't even get to my destination because it was just so crowded!! It was crazy! All hell broke loose! I just shrank back into my Pink Room and was super grateful to be maintaining that area and not the clothing sections of the store.
Lunch break was very sad. I ate a burger in our teeny tiny break room. Someone's phone in the locker just kept playing some song. Either someone called nonstop for 30 minutes or their alarm wouldn't shut up. Either way, everyone in the break room was annoyed. To get an idea of how small my break room is, think of like the size of three bathroom stalls. There's literally no walking space, just a few chairs, a table, and two minifridges. Oh yea and the bathroom is in front of us so the break room smells like funk half the time. Sigh.
After the store FINALLY closed, we looked at the store and knew deep in our hearts that tonight was going to be a super super late night. It was like a tornado ran through the store. We were very understaffed today too. So we tried our best to clean up and run a few racks of clothes but it took so many hours! The managers were nice enough to buy us all bags of chips and water. Someone from corporate was visiting tomorrow so everything had to be extra neat and stuff.
We finally got dismissed around 3:30ish AM. I felt bad for the janitor dude, who started talking to me in chinese today lol. He had to be there for just as long as we did, except he spent the whole day cleaning and scrubbing and all that hard labor. He must've been 10x as tired as me.
Me, Viv, Alan (our co-worker), and two of our assistant managers went home together. The trains were super super slow. Alan ended up walking me home because he said he couldn't live with his conscience if he let me walk home alone lol. How nice. But there's gonna be alot of late nights ahead and I'm going to have to battle it alone. Ahhh! Gotta buy myself some pepper spray!
Just super tired. I got home at 5AM. I'm really to pass out. Toodleloo everyone!
