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?
