Chapter 7
When Caroline arrived at Max, it was around 07:30.
It's not that she wanted to go so early, it's just that Han Sheng had an old pocket watch at home, so Caroline had to prepare plenty of time in order not to be late.
Unlike the noise in the morning in the industrial area, Debone Street is still very quiet at this time.The two pairs of glass doors of Meisi Department Store are still closed, and there seems to be no one inside.
Caroline lingered at the door for a while, thought for a while, and walked around to the back of the mall, and sure enough, she saw another corner door open.Sitting there was a man in overalls, about 60 years old, who saw her approaching and waved the notebook in his hand kindly.
"Good morning, girl!"
"Good morning sir, I'm Caroline Meeber, and it's my first day at work today."
"I know you, new here. Everyone calls me Old Tom, you can call me that too. I usually do some idle work in the mall during the day." The old man looked at Caroline's face carefully, "You're here But it's a bit early, isn't it?"
"Mr. Adler asked me to report at eight o'clock."
"Eight o'clock? Fred always thinks that the whole world should get up early to work like him, but on the first day, it's always right to be early." The old man got up and glanced at the clock on the wall, then lowered his head and wrote something. Then he spread out the notebook in his hand in front of Caroline.
"Sign it, girl, this is the sign-in sheet."
It was only then that Caroline discovered that it was an old-fashioned binder with grids drawn on it. The first column marked the time, and the second column was the signature.Just now the old man was marking the time.
Caroline wrote her name on the corresponding part of the third line, and glanced at the two signatures in front of her, Anthony G and Eve Green.
"I have something to tell you." Old Tom showed a serious expression when he took back the sign-in book, "Employees at Meisi Shopping Center are not allowed to be late, so please don't cry in front of me when the time comes. , old Tom is never merciful."
"Of course, I remember, thank you," Caroline nodded seriously, and walked into the mall.
According to the agreement, Caroline first went to the manager's office to meet Mr. Adler.The latter did not give her special arrangements, but took Caroline directly to the staff lounge on the west side of the third floor.
Here, Caroline met the "Ms. Green" mentioned by the manager before, Eve Green.
Caroline once imagined the appearance of Ms. Green in her mind, or the image of a staid and serious middle-aged woman, or the image of an elite female executive with the temperament of later generations.But she never thought that Ms. Green would be so charming.
She looks very young, probably no more than 30 years old, wearing a beige shirt with a complicated collar and a long skirt with a dark pigmented surface. Her golden curly hair is scrupulously coiled up, but she does not appear rigid and monotonous because of her outstanding face; her eyebrows are slender Emerald eyes under long, curly lashes looked at Caroline.
"I'm Eve Green, nice to meet you, Caroline." Ms. Green smiled and nodded to Caroline.
"Hello, Ms. Green, very nice to meet you," Caroline nodded quickly in return.
"Okay, Fred, you've finished your work, give this girl to me." Ms. Green turned to Mr. Adler, waved her hand gently, and then turned to face Caroline again, "As for the week Whether you can stay in the future depends on yourself."
"I won't let you down," Caroline nodded vigorously.
"Anyone can say good things, come with me." Ms. Green motioned for Caroline to follow, and walked to the lounge on the right, her skirt swaying slightly around her ankles with her unhurried steps.
The lounge is very spacious. After entering the door, there are three full-length full-length mirrors hanging on the wall, a row of seats against the wall on the right, and a row of cabinets on the left.There is also a room behind the cabinet, which should be a dressing room or something.
Caroline took a quick look at the lounge and stood a meter behind Ms. Green.Seeing the graceful movements of the person in front of her, she hesitated for a moment, imitating to straighten her back a bit more, and folded her hands in front of her body.
"There is a bathroom for employees in the lounge." Ms. Green raised her hand, pointed to the room behind the cabinet, and said in a more serious tone:
"The first rule of working at Meisi, unless and in special circumstances, the salesperson is not allowed to use the guest toilet."
"Yes, Ms. Green, I remember." Caroline replied.
The walnut cabinets are divided into upper and lower layers, with a total of sixteen cabinets. There is a small business card holder in the lower corner of each cabinet door. Among them, the eight cabinets in the upper row and the three cabinets in the lower row from the left have already been used.Eve Green opened a cabinet without a nameplate on the lower right, with a key on it.
"This is your work clothes. There is only one set. Keep it clean and tidy." Ms. Green took out a cardboard box from the cabinet. The clothes inside seemed to be of the same style as hers, and Caroline quickly took them with both hands.
"If you can stay, there will be replacement work clothes, but if you can't stay, don't damage this set, or your salary this week won't be enough to pay for it." Ms. Green patted Carlo Lin's shoulders, pushing her toward the locker room.
"Now, go and change your clothes."
The work clothes should be one size fits all. Fortunately, Caroline has a well-proportioned figure, although she is tall but has a small frame.This suit fits snugly.She quickly folded the changed clothes, put them in the cabinet, and kept the key.
Under the guidance of Ms. Green, Caroline tidied up her neckline, cuffs and other details in front of the mirror, and then walked out of the lounge.
"Tell me, what do you know about Meisi?" Ms. Green suddenly stopped and asked.
Caroline pondered and said, "Mates Department Store is one of the largest department stores in Chicago. It was established by Mr. George Meis three years ago. It is located on the best part of Debone Street." She collected some information about The information of the new work unit is not enough, at the moment she misses Baidu Encyclopedia a bit.
"please continue."
"There are four floors in the mall. Currently, the first to third floors are open to customers. There are counters for cosmetics, perfumes, jewelry, etc. in the middle hall on the first floor. The women's clothing store is on the west side, and the shoe store and hat shop are on the east side. On the second floor there are men’s clothing stores, fabric stores, etc. On the third floor is the guest’s lounge, which also provides snacks and drinks.” Caroline briefly introduced the layout of the mall that she noted in advance.
"If a guest asks where is the dressing room, what should I answer?" Ms. Green continued to ask.
"The women's restroom and dressing room are in the northwest corner of the first floor, the men's restroom is in the northwest corner of the second floor, and the rest area on the third floor has separate rooms for men and women at the same location." Out of nostalgia for modern toilets, Caroline felt that the shopping mall was very poor. The luxurious washroom is impressive. "But we're going to go to the staff room and work out our own problems," she added.
Ms. Green nodded and took Caroline to the hat and accessories shop on the right side of the first floor.
The store is about [-] to [-] square meters, of which three sides are placed with glass counters and high and low hat racks, and the other side is facing the lobby on the first floor.The velvet curtains had been drawn from the windows, and the sun was shining on rows of gorgeous hats and dainty ladies' gloves.
"You've been working here this week." Ms. Green walked into the store as she said, and brushed across the glass counter to check for dust.
"Is the counter we are in charge of fixed, Ms. Green?" Caroline asked curiously. She had seen the service staff there follow them all the way in another small shopping mall.
"It can be said that there are one or two people in each of our stores or counters. There may be opportunities for transfers and promotions in the future, but what you are in charge of now, you can do well. Meisi does not welcome employees who are ambitious," said here Ms. Green started asking questions again.
"Now, why are we selling gloves and hats together?"
"Because guests often need both, and gloves and hats can also be matched in color and style, Ms. Green," Caroline said after thinking.
"Yes, but not quite. More importantly, we hope that every lady who comes to buy gloves will be attracted by hats, and everyone who comes to buy hats will bring a pair of gloves along the way. When customers want it, come to find it, yes Not enough, in Meisi, you have to let customers see and like it, so they want it.”
"If I were a guest looking at this hat, how would you recommend it to me?" Ms. Green picked up a dark brown wide-brimmed hat, a bit exaggerated, decorated with black gauze and brightly colored peacock feathers .
"I'd suggest you try it on first," Caroline said.Ms. Green smiled and put the hat on her head with one hand, then held out the other to Caroline.Seeing Caroline's blank expression for a moment, she tapped the small rattan basket on the cabinet next to her with her index finger, which contained slender black and off-white hairpins.Caroline immediately realized that this was for fixed hats, looked at the style of the hat, picked up two black clips and put them in Ms. Green's hands.
"You shouldn't give it to me, but you should take the initiative to help me put the hat on, and never wait until the customer tells you to serve it, girl." Ms. Green's tone was still gentle, but Caroline heard a hint of warning from inside A hint of embarrassment appeared on his face, but his eyes became firmer.
She carefully helped Ms. Green put her hat on, but the hat obviously didn't match Ms. Green's overalls.But Caroline soon found other things to praise,
"The feathers on this hat are uniquely colored and the emerald green hue will match your eyes."
"Yes, we must be good at finding the relevant advantages of customers. We have to select suitable products for customers, but we cannot easily deny the products selected by customers. If the matching of customers is not suitable, don't forget that there are more matching products in our mall. Skirts, shawls, gloves, fans, all kinds of trinkets and even wigs." Ms. Green took off her hat and put it in Caroline's hands, "It is our duty not to let guests walk out of Meisi empty-handed."
"Okay." Ms. Green took out a small pocket watch and looked at it. "Vivienne is in charge of this counter. I'll let her show you."
"You are not outstanding, Caroline. Fred said you are smart. You may be a little smart, but not enough, and you are really inexperienced. But I hope you can stay after a week." Ms. Green turned her head , gazing into Caroline's face.
"So, if you can't say you can't do it now, just watch and learn more. You can ask me all the questions about the first floor in the future. I spend most of my time in the women's clothing section."
"Of course, you'd better find out for yourself."
It's not that she wanted to go so early, it's just that Han Sheng had an old pocket watch at home, so Caroline had to prepare plenty of time in order not to be late.
