Leslie's adventure

Conversation Bubble

Leslie: The sally took three drawers of panties. That sucks! We have to make up for the loss. I wish we did catch the shoplifter.

Amanda: Well, I’d rather to work overtime to make a report to the head quarter than chasing after the sally. How would you know if she has a weapon? It doesn’t worth risking for underwear. Plus, we can’t accuse a customer of stealing.

Leslie: Even if we witnessed it?

Amanda: Definitely. It’s against company policy to accuse a customer of stealing or to suspect an individual.

I was surprised by the conversation between my colleagues today. There were five people working in the backroom for stocking the new products. As soon as Berle came in in the morning, she told us she had “a lot of sex” last night so she couldn’t even walk well!! What an embarrassing subject! And nobody was pissed off or walked away when she brought this topic in! They started to talk about their sexual life in public! This is a whole new thing to me. In Taiwan, we don’t usually mention it to others, maybe to close friends only. But here, it’s like a common conversation, and they even make laugh of it. It can be jokes and an ice-breaking theme. It was not an “evil” or embarrassing thing at all. I think they see it in a healthier way, talking about it like talking about what they had for dinner. So normal! Back to Taiwan, my conversations with my coworkers are always around our jobs! We never go anything further. Does it mean we work harder? Or we live under a high pressure that we even don’t enjoy sex?

Lara:Well, I have lots to tell. Come to my backroom now. XD

What does “terminated” mean? Jessica approached me after the visit of the district manager and told me “I got terminated” with red eyes. I didn’t know how to react at the moment cuz I didn’t get the point LOL. But then she started to pack up her belongings and gave me a hug. Damn, I just realized what situation it was. And the decision was made so fast, just like getting struck by the lightning. Nobody knew what would happen in advance. We thought it was just a routine check up before the headquarter’s visit, there’s only me and a new girl left in the store after Jessica’s gone! No management team at all! Is that Canadian lay off style?

AL: Terminated meant getting fired. Some prefer different words to make their decision sounded nicer. But often that just makes the one who tells the news feel better, not the other way around.

Leslie: Oh, so what should I say next time?

AL: "So long Jessica, you just got fired.” XD

My colleagues are hilarious! They are WILD, even Laal who is already in her 50s! We’ll have a price change starting tomorrow and everyone strived to the backroom to grab their stuff. They even tried it on walking in the store! Queeny has a big collection of our corsets. Sasha got a bunch of sexy panties. And even Laal is trying to persuade me to get thongs! They took turns nagging in my ears to go wild and sexy! “Good girls get gifts. Bad girls get everything” they said. Then who are those who get nothing?

AL: Those who get nothing weren’t trying so hard?

Leslie: Oh…that’s me.
