Caroline received a total of nine yuan and eighty cents on Saturday. After deducting the board and lodging expenses, plus a little balance from last week, there is about seven and a half yuan left.

As soon as the summary meeting was over, Caroline was pulled away by a few girls, and she also made up her mind to use the opportunity of the party to communicate more with the girls today.Playing with them on the road, Caroline felt like she was back in college.

Today, apart from Caroline and her familiar Vivian, Anne, and Joanna, there are also Laura and Charlotte from the clothing section.

Of course, the girls didn't go to the luxuriously decorated hotels on Deeborn Street, which were not affordable for their class, but took Caroline to a mid-range restaurant two streets away.

The warm yellow light shines through the floor-to-ceiling glass windows, creating a comfortable and comfortable atmosphere, attracting passers-by.

Caroline liked the seat by the window very much, but it was a pity that there were small round tables for two in the restaurant by the window, and a group of six people were brought to the innermost long table by the waiter.

"Still the old rule, a pot of coffee?" Vivienne took two menus from the waiter, sat down and asked everyone.

Annie sat next to Caroline and explained to her, "This restaurant offers free refills for large pots of coffee, so everyone will order a pot every time they come to drink together. As for the order, you have to pay for it yourself."

Of course Caroline said no problem, she had been thinking about coffee for a long time.

Someone else passed a menu to her.Several people have been here many times before, except for Laura and Caroline who took the menu, the rest of the people ordered directly.

When she got the menu, Caroline, who had made a "social budget" in advance, still felt her heart was bleeding.

There is no dish on the menu that costs less than [-] cents, and the main dishes such as steak all cost more than one yuan.However, everyone is more casual, and no one orders only one or two dishes that they want to eat, from appetizers to desserts.

This restaurant specializes in Italian dishes, and the seafood risotto should be the signature feature, written in cursive script in a prominent position, and two girls ordered this dish.However, the price of one yuan and seventy cents made Caroline a little hesitant, and finally she ordered a cream macaroni.

Everyone didn't have so many rules, chatting while eating, and a pot of coffee quickly bottomed out.Caroline listened most of the time, occasionally interjecting a few exclamations, or telling anecdotes about famous people she had read in the newspapers.Suddenly, someone mentioned a few female waitresses in the leisure area on the third floor, saying that they also came out for dinner today, but it was with a few salesmen in the men's clothing area on the second floor.

"Aren't you and Veroni often together?" Caroline asked.Veroni is one of the waiters in the leisure area on the third floor. Caroline met her twice in the lounge, and she was considered an acquaintance.She still can't name the other two girls on the third floor.

"They have their own small circle, just the few in the leisure area, and we each play in our own way." Joanna called the waiter to refill the coffee.

Caroline felt there was something in her words.

"The basic salary of the waiters in the leisure area is low, and they mainly rely on tips, which is equivalent to one settlement per day. But our salesmen on the first and second floors live on basic salary and commission. Usually, they can only come out to relax after their salary is paid on Saturdays. They can't play together. ", Annie explained.

"It's not that simple. Those on the third floor are thinking too much, so don't provoke Caroline," Joanna said.

"Jojo, don't say it casually." Annie was a little serious.

"It's just that you will pretend to be a good person, as if you have never seen Ada having an affair with a guest." Joanna curled her lips.

"Come on, Joanna, it's a rule that employees in the mall are not allowed to have close relationships with customers. If it's really that serious, the manager and Ms. Green won't sit idly by." Charlotte warned, but her voice was gentle, so she was scolded The man didn't care, and secretly winked at Caroline.

Caroline secretly winked at Joanna when she saw it, expressing her understanding.

It is said that rumors stop at the wise, but it is often not that simple when you are in it.Caroline's creed is not to be a rumor maker or disseminator, but it's okay to ask three questions about the gossip, maybe she has touched someone else's backs inadvertently.

After a while, everyone began to discuss the customers they met.

Meisi shopping malls are mainly for the high-income class.There are quite a few people who have been to Meisi, but there are only a few hundred people who often come to shop in Chicago.

It is the consensus of all sales staff to pay attention to the regular customers of the mall, and the counters with good relationships on the first floor will also share the customer information they have learned.Which boss has recently made money, his wife and children are shopping everywhere, which lady has inherited a large inheritance and no longer has to worry about bills, which gentleman likes to spend his money on his lover first, and which lady buys things by herself Buying things for my daughter without batting an eyelid but haggling over every detail...

In short, the more you know, the easier it is to sell products at work, and the chance of "stepping on thunder" is greatly reduced.If you don't know anything, it's a trivial matter to earn less commissions, and it's over if you accidentally say something you shouldn't say in front of customers.

Caroline has not received many customers, and Vivienne still receives the old customers in the store, so it is indeed an eye-opener to continue to concentrate on listening to the gossip.Ms. Fiona, whom Caroline had received before, was quite avant-garde. Unexpectedly, there were quite a lot of rich people living colorful lives.

The meal was almost finished, and just in time for the sunset, the girls planned to take a walk around.

Everyone paid their part according to the bill, and Caroline paid her own one yuan and twenty cents. This was the first time in more than half a month that she spent so much money on a meal.

"Ah, I really hate being poor. I wish I could come to the restaurant to eat every day." When leaving the restaurant, Laura sighed while checking the balance in her wallet.

"Who doesn't want to, but even if we sell three times as much, we won't be able to make that much money, okay?" Joanna said, putting her arm on Laura's shoulder.

It turns out that everyone is also worrying about making money, Caroline thought.

She just found out during the meal that everyone's basic salary and commission ratio will not increase with the number of years of work. If you become the person in charge of the counter like Vivian, you will get a bonus of two yuan after the counter reaches the minimum sales every week. , but at the same time, the pressure is also greater, because the counter will deduct money if the performance fails to meet the standard for several consecutive weeks.

Even so, it is not easy to be the person in charge. Among the few people, only Vivian and Charlotte are the person in charge of the counter.Vivienne was promoted after a person in charge of the hat decoration counter left because of her good ability.Charlotte is the senior salesperson of Meisi, who has been working here since the opening. Although she doesn't speak much, she is calm and has been in charge of the clothing department for more than a year.

Caroline simply calculated that the weekly salary of the different counter leaders on the first floor is about 20 to [-] yuan. Although it looks good, it still cannot afford to go to the restaurant every day.

"You can find a cook to be your boyfriend, and you can eat 'high-end dishes' every day." Vivienne pretended to make a feasible suggestion.

"Come on, Vivienne, you know I'm not talking about 'eating' itself." Laura pouted and glared at her, and continued, "Actually, we're pretty good. My sister started eating this month. I worked as a maid in a family in a rich area in the north, and the salary was decent. After all, food and housing were included, but last Sunday was a day off, and when I got home, I cried while hugging me, saying that the hostess had a bad temper, and found faults everywhere every day. well……"

Several people fell into a brief silence.Caroline also remembered Minnie choking up when she told her about the hard work in the factory.Summer wasn't over yet, but the wind after the sun had set made her arms a little cold.

"It's better than being like Ada. In order to marry a rich man, she looks like a butterfly every day, and takes her little followers to eat and drink every day. Why doesn't she become an actress? When the time comes, some people will hold her Her!" Joanna said.

"Why are you always targeting Ada?" Annie showed disapproving eyes.

"I just can't stand her. It doesn't just represent herself if she does this alone. I don't want people to roll their eyes when I introduce myself as a Meisi salesperson in the future."

"If we're all going to get married sooner or later, wouldn't it be better to marry a rich man than a poor man?" Laura's voice was a little sad.

"Dear Laura, I didn't say it's bad to marry a rich man, but you have to do it in the right way. Besides, there are so many good things in this world! Ask the boys on the second floor, who has never done nothing? Daydream, if you want a lady who is blind, you must not marry yourself? Rich people may also think the same way when they marry a wife, 'Anyway, they marry wives, wouldn't it be better to marry a more generous dowry?'"

Joanna said the last sentence in a very exaggerated tone, and bowed to Laura with her hand outstretched, successfully making everyone laugh.

Instead of continuing the subject, they discussed what shop would be opening in the building under renovation on Deeborn Street, and whether there would be a new play in the theater next month.

It was almost eight o'clock when Caroline said that she had to go back. Joanna knew that Caroline had never been to a bar (in fact, she had never been to a bar here), and she had originally said that she would definitely take her to "experience", but she was stuck. Rowling insisted, and Anne also said that she was a little tired, so she gave up.
