I'm Being RETAILED to death!

So here's the story.

I have started my new journey into a basically new career for me. Failing to be able to handle anymore call centre activity in my brain, I figured that my love of helping people and my need to stay busy might be rewarded in a retail setting.

However, I never, ever thought that I would encounter the people that I have in the business so far. One person, my direct boss, seems to be a caring, ethical person with a liberal mindset and favorable personality qualities. The other, my direct trainer, is quite the opposite.

She, who I will refer her to as from now on, is an uneducated, socially inept, unskilled teacher with the boisterous laugh of a polar bear in heat and then some.

I am constantly being railed for stickers, stickers, stickers! I had no idea that forming clothing for sale could be so intrinsic, that the value of a well placed sticker could bode so well on the selling features of a garment. Apparently, or so I'm told, sticker placement is of utmost importance in the retail field and strict rules must be adhered to in order for that piece of merchandise to sell!

I hope you're getting the sarcasm that I am intending in this post, because, if you can tell, I'm neither fond of stickers nor the person directing me of their terminal importance. Please, I beg of you, if you go into a retail outlet and decide to try on a piece of clothing, please don't mess with the sticker.. it will doom the clerk to an eternal life of re-stickering and could lead to a reaction from that individual like spontaneous outbursts and the like.

Ofcourse, I am just fooling around with the sticker thing. I understand the importance on unification when it comes to a marketing scheme.. but the sticker nazi has got to go.
