One job down, one to go...
Ok, I don't plan on quitting my Run-A-Ton job anytime soon, but two Sundays ago (or maybe it was three?), I did finally quit my Crate and Barrel job. And that's why I can spend so much time updating my blog today!
As I've said before I did actually enjoy working at Crate and Barrel - my co-workers were really nice and great to work with (with the exception of the college slacker summer hires, not to be confused with the college student summer hires who were not slackers), on the whole the customers were pleasant and friendly, but most of all, I had a nametag that said "Marsha-Marsha-Marsha" on it! Oh, and the employee discount was nice too.
I'd have to say the big downside is that having to work a weekend day is pretty stinky if you don't have to. But the biggest reason I left was because I wanted to devote more time to Mochi Kids!™ activities, which I have been able to do to a small degree - since I left C&B I've created a couple of new designs as well as some more products. One of the reasons I haven't been able to do more is that I've been working a couple of full-time weeks, filling in for the gal who normally does the accounts payable stuff while she is away on vacation. Ha, I never thought I'd be doing accounting stuff! But it turns out I'm not too bad at it. Go figure.

Hi, I'm thinking about working at C&B and was wondering if you would share what the employee discount is. All I could get out of the manger was 30% off, is that it? Thanks!
Yep, the discount is 30%. This was my only experience working in retail, and overall I'd have to say I enjoyed it. The only things I didn't like was working weekends and my feet hurt at the end of the day. My co-workers, managers and the customers (for the most part) were all really nice folks.
thx mochichick!! I wanted to ask the manger, but was embarrassed! =) love the blog btw!
