Today I Gap

Above is a pic of my Gap. :)

Today I Gap it. I don't think there will really be any good stories. Usually, things are normal at Gap O Squared. I enjoy my time with co-workers and fold clothing. I then go home. Nothing unnatural. There are some people I would like to punch in the face.

Customers.

Murphy's Law can be applied to Gaps and any clothing retail establishment. Naturally, a woman that normally wears a 24/00 will go straight to the stack of jeans and pull out the one on the bottom...which is usually going to be an 8 or higher knowing that the 00 is going to sit on top. For men, it is the shirts. Why pull the small off the top of the stack when one can go straight for the XL on the bottom (once again fully aware of the sizing) and pull it out sending the rest of the shirts across the table and onto the floor.

Now: here are some things I have pondered since starting at Gap. Most of us have college degrees and are pretty intelligent. We are all nice and serve people well. Does the North Shore forget we are human? Do we not rank in society? Are we untouchables? Yes. By the way people treat us, one would think none of us had any sense in being alive. I don't think any of the customers realize this is our career. We do what we are doing because we enjoy working for the company. To the NS, we are degenerates and have no value. We are uneducated (hello half of us in Master's programs or medical school) and stupid. Because we are so beautiful (haha :) ) we obviously have no brain at all. I don't care if I were working in a garbage dump...you don't treat people like shit on your shoes.

So my lovely customers that choose to act like this, kiss my ass. For those that are wonderful and nice and appreciative and realize it is just as much of a career as their multi-million dollar jobs (well close enough lol), thank you.

Out of my months working at Gap I have one story. A customer came in that was pointed out as a porn star. I served his family. His wife was breastfeeding in the dressing rooms and decided it was appropriate to pull both boobs out even though the baby was clearly only using one.

The Holiday meeting was fun because we did this fun cheer for Gap's promotional Holiday Cheer Offs in all stores across America.

Here's to Gap. :)

As far as reading is concerned today...I am finishing Jasper Fforde's The Fourth Bear. I am enjoying it. It does have an alien in it, so I can compare it a little to A Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. The only problem: no depressed robot. Sad.
