Thats what I think of this time of year for retail. After the Xmas season and New Years is over things slow down and its easy sauce for the rest of the month. Managment lets go of the seasonal staff and we have fewer hours.
Only problem with this is minute little rushes take everything I can to handle.
Case and point was last night. we onl had one person closing in BTI and one in Home E and one ins Jewellry. The problem with this is once it comes to break time we have 2 people for 3 departments. As I am handling BTI and Home E I get a customer who demands my entire attention in Home E as I have a sale starting in BTI. Eventually this dissolves into me trying to help two people with large purchases as well as a few with small ones all by myself. This stuff is normal during the holidays but then I coul enlist help from trained personel but now I have to run around the store looking for a TV for the guy while my customer in BTI waits.
Eventually the breaks shift ended and I got some help but not without getting a few grey's and i managed to make a huge sale in BTI (where I get commision). Still I wish that they would have one extra person so we would have 3 people for 3 departments at all time. *sigh*
