Alice is considered more of a Style then a Sales person at the SunShack, in which she sell all sorts of sunglasses, rather its high fashion like Gucci, Burberry, Bvlgari and Ray ban, to sport such as Maui Jim and Oakly. SunShack is a rather fun environment where its up beat and very chaotic at times, though Alice thrives in the chaos, some times things can push her over the edge. There was one experience that almost made her quite on the spot, because this part time job was not worth the harass.
Alice was working alone one day, it most had been a Tuesday or Wednesday for there was no need for a mid shift to come in to do double coverage. The time ticked by slowly and with that she was looking forward to going home, and they girl that would be takeing the night shift would be there shortly. Well five minutes before the night shift girl was meant to arrive, a customer came in and was looking around and dropped his glasses and the leans popped out and disappeared. "Looks like its time to retire these, don't you think?" the customer said to Alice and laughed rather oddly. Alice putting on a smile laughed and told him "Atless it happen here" and the customer agreed.
Now Alice had worked at an outlet in which everyone liked to haggle for coupons, and lower mark downs which she couldn't do and often had to deal with people that tried to push for better prices. Well the customer that was in the store was looking for a cheap pair of glasses, which at SunShack ran from 50-100 dollars a pop. "I want something that will make me look good, something that will make the ladies want me" He told Alice. Alice frowned on the inside, it would take more then a paper bag on his face to make him look good, but of course she kept that to herself. "I'm afraid you will not find anything like that over at our clearance section, all of these are out of style and that is why they are so cheap." Alice told him the truth on that, sales items where things that where sitting to long in inventory or just not as popular as some designers had hoped.
Once the customer had forgot about the budget and told Alice to show him something really nice, she went over to the high fashion that would really be flashy and fab, after trying on many pairs that guy turned to her "Ok lets skip this bull, show me, what the best of the best in this store." He asked and reminded Alice he wanted the ladies to be all over him. "That would be the Maui Jims, the best in the store, with the best quality and leans you can buy." She went back and showed him her personal fave, a thick plastic wrap around with the blue leans. One look at the price and the guy then changed him mind "They are not going to care about brand, they care about looks show me something else." His voice raised, he was obviously unhappy. Apparently he didn't want to spend 350 dollars. So it was on to Oakly, they guy obviously need a square frame to stand out from his very hat round head. Once she suggested an Oakley the guy started laughing at her "Are you for real, this piece of trash really?" At this moment the night shift girl had walked in and was witnessing the whole blow up.
"You have no idea what your doing sweetheart, you have no taste and I have no clue why you are even working here. How did you get Hired? you have no chance making it in the fashion would and you should flat out quite you are horrible and if I was your boss you wouldn't have lasted a Day. You don't know how to do your job and you should just give up and go home. You have no right being here." Alice clenched her teeth and bit her cheek. The last thing she wanted to do was give him the satisfaction of crying and with that she brought Erica the night shift over to help him and as she went to the back room he continued to yell at her and scare off the other customers in the store.
After calling her manager and getting some advice she tried to pull herself together and compose herself. Erica open the door and peaked in "He wanted to talk to you" Alice frowned, she wanted nothing to do with him. But she now has something in her back pocket. She walked out and the first thing he said to her was "So did you have time to cool down" Alice gave him a wicked smile "I did, I called my manager and got some advice." The Customer looked pleased and surly though that the manager would take his side and asked "What did he have to say?" Alice stood up straight and said "For causing a disturbance and harassing me, I am to call security and have you kicked out of my store, we do not do service with the likes of you" She then picked up the phone and called security. She would not be humiliated in public and in her store any more.
