applied to retail

today. finally. yes, retail.

i have gotten a university degree so that i can apply to retail for the first time in my life.

i generally walked around the store and eavesdropped a bit to see if the staff were nice, before applying.

here's the synopsis:

Body Shop: snobby azns, not hiring
plenty: seemed like little ditzy materialistic types, didn't apply (too bad, like their stuff)
Jacob Annex: generally liked their staff, not hiring till Oct
Jacob: same as above
Butterflies: nice staff! crappy merchandise. possibly hiring.
Stoneridge: HIGH ENERGY STAFF with bleach blonde spiked up hair. I don't think she liked me much, she kind of gave me a little interview on the spot and she's a bit of a type-A personality, i'm more type B. They're hiring but.. nah
RW&Co: hiring longerm, for about 32 hrs/week. That is good. Staff seem very down-to-business. I like their merchandise.
Laura: She almost hired me on the spot. But was skeptical about me not staying long because I'm overqualified with my degree. I was honest about maybe not being able to commit and that sealed the no-go deal. It was more of a merchandising/computer position which sounded more interesting than sales. Maybe I'll call her back if worst comes to worst.
Pegabo: The best catch so far. I liked both of the staff members AND the manager, a little french dude. Their male staff seemed a bit dumb, which makes me think its not a hard position, and the female was Soooo nice. Had me wait for the manager to come and introduced me to him. So if any of you damned retail places call me back, I hope its you, Pegabo! PS. I want shoe discounts there, they have nice stuff! :)

Went to Greek Festival & Richmond Night Market yesterday. Had yummy deepfried honey fritter ball things at the former.
