Confessions of a Retailer part 2

I am back with another confessions as a retailer!

No matter how many times you tell us that we need more of a selection of something (like say petites), there is absolutely nothing I can do about it! I can only offer you what I have here in store and online.
I think my favorite for this week is when they get to the register, I will ring everything up then tell me they have a coupon and what they have in my pile does not qualify for the coupon and then get mad at me. I'm sorry you didn't read the fine print or ask me what they can use the coupon on.
Asking if something comes in another color and then get mad when I tell them no. I'm sorry I'm not the designer or the buyer.
The question I had yesterday made me laugh; "Is the jewlery concidered clearance? I know there is a rack for clearance, but there is a necklace over there that I like." I politely tell her it is brand new and if she spent the amount the coupon states then she can use it.
If your looking for something specific, for example a solid white or camel colored cardigan please don't get mad when I tell you no. Again I am not the buyer.
Another favorite of mine is when they are shopping clearance. Our clearance is marked in red what the markdown price is. With that being said there is sale on top of that right now it is either $4.99, $9.99 or additional 50% off. "They are all marked different prices are they priced as marked?" I really want to say is do you see a sign that says priced as marked? But I scream it in my head.
Yes this post may all be rants but I just need the world to know that most of the things you complain about can not be delt with on our level. I can only give you what I have to offer in store. I will be as polite to you as you are to me.
Xoxo

Women crush Wednesday

Yes women really do crush Wednesday's! We are #bossbabes and we raise tiny humans and we run businesses and still some how make time for ourselves! Today's WCW is none other than Chrissy Metz! Chrissy is a beautiful actress who stars in the hit television series This Is Us. She is an inspiration to all of us who may not be the industries stereo typical woman. She also has a book out that I have been dying to read called This IS Me. 
She just had a birthday this past Saturday! Happy Birthday Chrissy Metz!

Look how gorgeous she is in this dress for the 70th annual Emmy awards! To be honest who cares who she is wearing because she looks stunning! When looking at pictures to try and show off her style you can not see her whole outfit half of the time and that is just not fair in my opinion! She is beautiful so what she has some curves don't we all have a little bit of curves on us? 
Oh and if I haven't said already she is a great actress. I may not have seen her in American Horror Story but she is fantastic in This Is US!! 
Also she is a singer! I have not heard any of her songs yet but I am pretty sure that she is actually singing the show (This Is Us), and in my opinion she is really good.
Put more full outfit pictures of Chrissy Metz out there because I don't believe she has bad taste in clothes!!!
If you haven't already started watching This Is Us then you should go check it out it will make you laugh and it will make you cry and it will make you want to hold everyone in your family a little longer. 

Who should I write about next? Mandy Moore? Or even Susan Watson? Maybe I can do the whole cast of This Is Us?

Take 3

Hey everyone,

So here I am about 10 months later after saying that I would start blogging more often and yet I have not posted since January. Things in my life are slowly changing and I plan on embracing them with a giant smile on my face!

So since I last posted:
I still work a Full time job as retail manager (will not say where because of previous posts) and I just had my 3 year anniversary with my wonderful husband Aaron (still no babies). We moved in to our own place back in April and love the idea of living on our own (not a lot has happened in my life).

Since October is approaching (more like its tomorrow) I have many goals for the month of October not just with Blogging but with work, health, marriage, and my personal business. I am not sure how often I want to post or if I will be posting on celebrities, my fashion that I will be creating or want to create. October is where new things are beginning again for me. 

You can follow my new journey with me on social media on instagram @stylemerosy and @brookiebear03 on Twitter @stylemerosy2014 currently working on a facebook page for the blog.

What do you want to see me write about? A celebrity with really good fashion trend? or a really bad trend? Or more confession of a retailer? Or maybe some of my sketches? Leave me a comment!

Hi every one!

See I have failed my new years resolutions already I have not blogged since new years eve. Well lets be real I haven't worked out either. I was going to post something the day after Christmas but I never did. January is the worst time to be in retail. We get next to nothing in sales and it's nothing but returns all the time. There is no one in the mall I work at after 7 so I can get everything done quickly and get out and get home ASAP. 
I have been really wanting to get on a routine, where I got to bed early (by 10) and up early (by 6). I know crazy for someone who doesn't have kids, but one day I will and plus I have a business that I need to better my self with getting things done. The only way I can do that is if I get on a routine. None of that has been happening. I got to bed really late then get up with like an hour to a half till I have to leave for work. So I think I'm going to go to bed at like 11 then get up at maybe 9. I know I can do it if I put my mind to it.
I'm sorry have not thought of more things to write about. I'm hoping that I will have more interesting topics soon. If there is something you would like to here about, leave a comment. I am also hoping that in a few months that I will have my youtube channel up and running. I might keep writing while I vlog. So many decisions to make. What are your thoughts? I would love to hear from you guys. I know that there may not be a lot of you who read my blogs but your opinion matters!

Till next time,
Brooke
