so I totally wasn't looking forward to working tonight and I walked in and they're like, hey! you're in shoes for an hour and then my brain exploded.

not really. shoes is *hard,* though, and I was alone and it's a huge sale weekend and I had four customers at once (each wanting to buy three pairs to get maximum discount) and I was really losing my shit a bit because it was my first time in shoes and oh... you know. retail.
but, you know. retail. so I had to fake it and effervesce, right? so I did that, and I kind of pretended that *I* was shopping, these people were my friends, and I was just very normal and ... yeah. *then* my head exploded.
not really. then I sold some stuff and lynne came back from lunch and I went to accessories, and bruce, our GM, walked out to me and thanked me for what I'd done in shoes and handed me a bunch of candy and a $50 gift card. what? *then* my head exploded.
no. I'm crying wolf, y'all! (spoiler: my head does not actually explode in this story.) *then* I asked what was up with that, and bruce told me that two of my customers had gone to him after I left to tell him how great and good-natured and fun I was.
so that was nice, and no exploding heads. guys! if you get awesome service, tell someone! sales staff gets *candy*!!! *candy*!!! and store cash, but my god, people! *candy*!!!
(retail is pretty good for me, I think. it makes me want to talk more.)
