Greetings steemians, it's me again @detoir.
If you are having conventional job with workplace or even freelancing feel free to have a look or passing by.
If you are currently jobless, it would have not hurt you to read this.

So..do you remember your first day to have a job?
I do.

I was around 17. Right after my university's mid-term test, we're having a long summer holiday.
And because holiday was too long and I'm kind of short of money, I worked at my aunt's place.
My aunt had a small clothing store at a shopping mall.
It was not a sophisticated store, rather a very cheap mass produced discounted clothes that people sell in bulk.
It was a tiring job with low wages, around $3/day current currency value .
A surprising situation indeed, since I work from 9 a.m. - 10 p.m. from thursday to tuesday.
I had to stand up for around 9-10 hours, since customers won't end up coming to the store.

The one that had to look after the store was just me and 1 co-worker.
A girl around 20ish age, still pretty cute, but already married.
If you think this situation gonna develop into a romance flick, DEAD WRONG.
The only communication happen would be the need to eat, pee and item related pricing.
And this situation happen until the end of my holiday, since there was literally multiple occurance flood of customer coming to store every day.

By the end of the day, I had to close the store, report the sales and went home.

Reflecting what happen that day, in conclusion I found that :

  1. People giving would attract to anything that had DISCOUNT in the price tag
  2. "Buy 2 get 1" clothing tag would attract women around 20-40 in age
  3. Girls with less than 20 in age prefer cute accessories and cheap with known brand
  4. Males would be giving attention to cute sales clerk
  5. sit down after standing for around 3 hours, or you will get leg cramped
  6. Sweet talking and smiles for the sake of sales

It was mine experience, how about you?
