diary of a salesgirl

For the past few days, i've been helping my fren's sister's fren Merlyn (now my fren!) to sell clothes at SP.
She actually had a shop in Bugis Street 2nd floor (called Intro Style), and sells mostly going out and working clothes. If u r into feminine style, u will sure like them.

Sigh.
Maybe it's the clothes.. maybe it's the location.. or maybe it's really juz me, but I wasn't able to sell much for the past 4days...
If my fren had been irritated with me for such poor sales, I wouldn't even bother to feel bad abt it... but she wasn't.. she was super nice to me instead! =X
u will know why after u read..................

1st day (mon, 15/5):
reached SP earlier, so helped Merlyn unpacked her stuff...
First impression of her was not bad. Friendly lady.
But the clothes sux, to be honest. Mayb it's juz not my style, i dunno.
Anyway we din talked much coz she was rushing off to Bangkok to get stocks.
So i was alone an hr later, sitting der like some idiot.
U see, i've forgotten to bring sth to pass the time.
I ended up msging ppl (namely olive, carol, tim) nonstop the whole afternoon. lolx.
And i din manage to sell anything. bah!
Even more sway, there wasn't any store place for my clothes and rack. I was damn afraid i'd have to bring them home can...
While waiting for the in-charge to bring me good news, i helped a guy packed his goods to stop myself from thinking rubbish stuff... and it pays to be nice u know.. coz he initiated to help me locked my rack with his stuff! Touched...
And luckily i was able to keep my bag of clothes in the security room...
Whee!!

2nd day (tues, 16/5):
I brought a magazine (Style) to read after learning a painful lesson.
But it was so sucky dat i finished it within an hr. Seriously!
I was so desperate dat i kept flipping thru each page carefully to see wad i'd left out. I even read all the advertisements! Dat was how desperate i was to kill time can...
And i was only able to sell one top. bleahz.
Another painful lesson....... never buy Style magazine again!

3rd day (wed, 17/5):
Merlyn came back from bangkok and brought some tops which are more suitable for students to my stall.
She actually travelled der ALONE to get her clothes lor! So brave can..
Anyway the tops she brought were beta, more casual and nice. So i bought one for myself. heh
And i sold a skirt and a top... improved but still not good enuff. Have to work harder!
Another prob arose... the security uncle wasn't able to keep my stuff anymore!! wah...!!
But was lucky again coz the nice guy (the one dat locked my rack for me) agreed to help me hide my bag under his table... whee!!

4th day (thurs, 18/5):
Merlyn came with some more tops again.
But i wasn't able to sell anything the whole day... again!
I sux man...

5th day (fri, 19/5):
Was very determined to try sell at least 5 tops today, since it's the last day.
But in the end Merlyn decided not to continue at SP, if not she will open her shop damn late coz hafta come SP helped me pack the stuff.
AAHHH...... no chance to redeem myself at all man!! =X
sigh...
treated the nice guy ice-cream to thank him before i left and brought the stuff back to her shop tog.
Went for lunch at Fish n Co, which she treated me.
She even paid me 5days pay lor, even tho i din work at all today..


Imagine the guilt i was, and still am, going through for my lousy performance which causes her to make a loss...
think i'm really not cut to be a salesgirl man....
And worse still, she treated me to Fish n Co and even paid me more than she shld!!
waa......
My guilt has eaten half my heart now...


So ppl, patron the shop if u have time... some of the clothes are really not bad..
I'm not asking u to do for me...
Do it for yrself. More clothes to wear u know...
haha.
