There were two other assistants at the training today, they don’t know each other and are called Jenny and Lisa; they were quite quiet and just looked bored most of the time. Working at Funkster is going to be boring and embarrassing; we have to wear little black T-Shirts that we have to pay half for!! And a pair of jeans or trousers from the shop that we also have to pay for, we have to go up and ask every customer if they want any help and then get clothes out for them and then lead them to the fitting room and stay with them while they try on clothes. If it’s too busy for that then we cut out the waiting at the fitting room and telling them how great they look in the clothes. I think Madge is a bit mad; no one will want an assistant lurking behind the curtain in a fitting room. Then we have to check all the racks and make sure that they’re tidy, and clean up when the shop shuts – I though these places hired their own cleaners, but not Madge. She won’t let us go on the till though, that’s a job for her and for us when we are more experienced!! Imogen, bonkers as she is, is still excited and can’t wait to start!!
