As far as I'm concerned, I don't have a sales job. I have a service job. My job is to help people find what they need quickly and easily. "Do you have this in a medium?" "Let me see."
Keeping the shelves neat is one of the best ways to help the customers, because if everything is where it should be, in size order, customers can find what they need without even asking for extra help. But retrieving items from the stockroom can be the most satisfying thing, because the customer will smile and thank you when you hand him what he wants.
Usually.
Sometimes you get a customer who is already disappointed in you as soon as he walks in the door. He sees the worst in people and treats you like you're an obstruction preventing him from getting what he wants. I want to make this clear: I want everyone to have what they want. But I'm not the gatekeeper to your happiness, folks, I only work here.
