Friday (22nd) we finished liquidating all of the store. Because we did such a great job, the liquidator we were working with decided to take us out to lunch which was greatly appreciated. My favorite thing in the world is food and going out to eat is my favorite activity I think lol. I've never gone through the liquidation process before so it was fairly interesting and over all a good experience even though I lost my job. I don't think I'd be leaving for Japan in two weeks if I had not had to deal with losing my job honestly. Because I was forced to make a decision on whether I wanted to get a lame job over the summer or go to Japan things became pretty clear as to what needed to happen. I've gotten off topic forgive me. I mean to talk about liquidating and what happened. You deal with some pretty interesting people when liquidating. Here's a list of stupid things,
1. Guy comes in to apply for a job at the store that says, "70%-90% off, everything must go!, Going out of business"... I don't think words are necessary here.
2. Woman gets pissed off because she realized we were liquidating after she had her prints done by us which for some reason meant that we did a worse job??? She seemed to think that we didn't care about our printing anymore because of the liquidation. None of us understood her logic.
3. Woman asks me if we have photography vest for her film and such. "no we don't have anything like that." her, "do you know where I could get anything like that?" No, I'm not sure. I would just get a vest at an outdoors store and put film in it..." she got mad at me because we didn't have the vest for her to buy after 6 weeks of liquidation... Evidently I didn't understand what her question was because she kept repeating, "you don't understand" She never explained herself any further. She stormed out of the store saying "Now I know why my daughter doesn't like coming here." (well it's probably cause you raised her to be a biatch just like you.) I would have liked to have said that.
After we had sold everything from the store and came back the next day to clean things up and throw crap away we had more interesting customers,
4. The gate is down but not locked. Dan is the only person there and he's on two phones trying to figure out what to do about payroll because our manager wasn't there to sign our time sheets and he needed to fax them in that day. Some dude opens up the gate, walks in and asks him while he's on the phone if we're closing.... the store is COMPLETELY empty! no products anywhere.
5. Later that day I came in to clean and help with things. The gate is down. Some guy walks up to the gate and says, "So you guys are closed huh?" Dan, "yeah..." "Do you have any cameras left?" Dan, "Nope..." What the HELL?! Why in the world would we have cameras left? Oh yeah we've been hiding them in the back lemme go get you one.
I have taken away from this experience that just as soon as you thought you've seen it all you'll see something even dumber then that. So remember to never underestimate the stupidity of people. And that is the moral of the story.
