She has worked for B & N for about 4 months and hates it. They give her really terrible hours. She normally works 3pm-midnight on Saturdays, which screws up our weekends together. She usually works until 11 during the week as well; I’m an 8-5 guy so we never see each other even though we live together. She is also being accused of having a short register even though she would never steal. I don’t know how old you are; if you are in high school it is probably a good job. If you are older I wouldn’t recommend it.

Some folks are just plain impatient and want their book found in an extremely quick manner. Lots of customers may pick your brain on suggestions on books and thats where liking books comes into handy. Of course, even if you dont like reading, this could help to appreciate it more by other customers suggestions and recommendations.Good luck on your new job and try not to drink too much coffee! ^.^ Answer6:the one thing that every successful b&n worker has to have is a look of intelligence and superiority that goes with the title of guest service employee. also it wouldnt hurt to learn to perfect a whisper like level of conversation which instills in people a feeling of sitting in an lode english book seller. i think they have pre employment retreats on these very subjects.. throw out the smokes and italian combo-sandwiches for lunch (a big no-no) plenty of certs a just the right amount of gum in your mouth to chew but not requiring slurping.when you talk.. also very important; huming happy little tunes while you stock shelves gives you a feeling of helping mankind to further expand their knowledge and dammit you put the book on the shelf when you help out at the registers make sure to keep up a repore with the customer and your fellow cashier how you wish a blizzard would hit town tomorror so you could sit around in your brand new huggie blanket finishing the new book just found buried deep in the snow by admiral byrd on the cons of freezing veggies. be sure to show complete elation and a small tear if capable when the store manager tells you that after tonight your salary will go from $7.00 ann hour to $7.25 , hell he says im gonna go out on a limb here and pay you $300 a week and make you assistant manager to the assistant manager which will give you the opportunity to show your mettle to manage the whole freakin store this thanksgiving and Christmas because dammit you earned it. . just one thing he whispers in your ear" when on the floor never let them see you smile. never
