    My waxing place is holding a raffle if you schedule your next 2 appointments. I was hesitant because I barely know what tomorrow looks like let alone 6-12 weeks from now. Her response "I

    could care less if you cancel them both as soon as you get home. It doesn't bug me. This is what I am told to do. In fact, when you need to buy a new wax pass- I don't care if you cancel that either. I still get credit for selling it to you." That truly is the correct attitude to have when working in retail.

    DRFilz522 OP. 11 hr. ago She also told me the company lies on the internet. This place is a national chain- I used to live in a college town and they would encourage people to buy wax passes at their location (in the midwest) before going home/moving to the coast because the cost is less. The internet says that a wax pass is only good at one location- she told me that was a flat out lie.

    cruise for the store. It was based on % so smaller stores should have a chance. The execs sold us on this and ran a campaign for it with the promise of a free cruise. Well everyone went nuts and sold and sold film. My store one and when we were working on the details for the

    cruise the executives said we could not take the prize as it was considered an assets and creditors had to be paid first. We found out it was a lie and the executives and their families all too the cruise in stead.

    I learned my lesson that day to not give a flying about anything in retail again. Pay is and you get treated like by management and customers. In the end, I robbed that place silly for the next year, basically taking back what was owned to me for the cost of a cruise. I didn't feel one bit of grief about it
