- My most embarrassing moment was when I was texting my girlfriend whilst I was trying to cashier. I was fighting with my girlfriend through text messages and I meant to type "I love you" to my girlfriend and I looked up to give my customer her receipt and accidentally told her "I love you". Oh my god. I was so embarrassed I also dropped my cash till and made a bunch of money fall out on a separate occasion
DYING, BRB.
I have a few humiliating experiences. One is when we were closing for the night and there were these twofers (two for whatever price) I'd folded and left on the floor like I'm supposed to. At the end of the night I carry all the fitting room clothes out to the running bar so they can be put back. Well, that night I was preoccupied and I had seen employees going back to the fitting room. Silly me, I thought they were being responsible and helping me out with the twofers. What a mistake. >.>
Basically one of the employees shouted "THERE'S STILL TWOFERS IN HERE". And I got lots of dirty looks. D:
Same thing happened with holds. Usually we keep holds in the fitting room so I didn't know I was supposed to take these ones out. More dirty looks, but sympathy from one of my coworkers so it was alright.
AND THEN AND THEN AND THEN. You guys are gonna die at this one. I was putting a rounder away, you know, one of those circular shelves that clothes are hung on when they're on sale or whatever. Well, we have two huge closets, one on either side of the store. Rounders and shoes and stuff go in one and fixtures and stuff go in the other. I was putting the rounder away in the closet and heading back out when all of a sudden EVERYTHING starts falling behind me. A huge bunch of fixtures had just fallen and made this enormous noise. The boss at the time, Judy, flung open the door and was like "WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED??" She's like 55, though, and super nice, she was just worried. She'd been talking to customers, making small talk, and she heard the noise and thought I was in trouble. She told me to get out of the closet so I did, and I was fighting back tears because I
hate when people yell at me or are displeased with me. So a few minutes later she let me go back and fix it and at the end of the night I told her what I'd been thinking. I was like:
"I thought you were yelling because you were mad; I thought I was getting fired."
Judy: "Oh no! Why would I do that? Why would you think that?"
Me: "Because you yelled really loud, it scared me."
Judy: "I didn't yell loud!"
Coworker Alexis: "Psh, yeah you did. Everyone heard it."
We all laughed then. xD Judy says she was just super worried about me because the crash was like thunder and she thought something happened. She transferred to another store a month or two ago. I miss her. xD
...OKAY, ONE MORE.
Embarrassment and I seem to be pretty close. >.>
Assistant manager Kristina came up to me one night and asked if I was hungry. Sometimes employees go out on runs to Starbuck's or whatever so I said sure, yeah, I'm hungry. So she put this chicken nugget on a paper towel in front of me on the rounder and I started to pick it up to eat it like awh, she got chicken nuggets and didn't want one, thanks.
But she goes "You're really gonna eat that?"
And I said "Yeah..."
Turns out she'd picked it up off the floor and was just showing me how nasty people can be. xD I was like "HOLY SHIT" when she told me and put it back down and wiped my hands on the trash bag beside me. xDDD
