Chapter 92: Pretending to be rich but unable to afford it
The clerk had never imagined that things would turn out like this.
She was instantly flustered.
Especially those colleagues who worked with her in their store, the way they looked at her at this moment, they seemed to want to eat her.
How could she not feel guilty?
They say that trouble comes from the mouth. Today, she finally understood the meaning of this sentence.
It was the words that came out of her mouth that affected the business of their store.
Originally, there were a few customers in the store choosing clothes. One of them had already chosen his clothes and asked the clerk to pack them up and go to pay.
After hearing what she said, they immediately quit their job and told their colleague that they didn't want the clothes anymore.
It's all because of her.
She was extremely scared when she saw her colleagues looking like they wanted to peel off a layer of her skin.
What's the difference between this and cutting off people's financial resources? You have to know that their bonuses and wages are very closely related to the daily turnover.
She said these words today, and these customers heard them. If word spreads from one to ten, and from ten to a hundred, who will dare to come to their store to buy clothes?
This matter is neither big nor small.
It's a mess after all. If things get out of hand, she might lose her job.
She is already in her early forties, with elderly parents and young children to take care of. She simply cannot imagine how miserable her future will be if she loses this job.
She has always made many enemies in the store. These employees seem to be respectful to her on the surface, but in fact, behind her back, she doesn't know how to deal with her.
Now that I have caught her weakness, I must take this opportunity to go to the boss and complain about myself.
The clerk was a little panicked, her face turned slightly pale, and she didn't even have time to find fault with Jiang Xian and Lu Bin.
After all, she is busy taking care of herself now, so how can she have the time to respond to Lu Bin and Jiang Xian?
It was always her who was arguing with Lu Bin and Jiang Xian. Even when Jiang Xian and Lu Bin didn't say a word, she got herself into trouble. At this moment, the clerk was extremely regretful. If she had known earlier, she would not have been so quick to argue. In the end, she ended up losing herself.
Only she herself knows how much she needs this job.
If she lost this job, she would have to look for another one. At her age, she wouldn't be able to find a good job again.
Otherwise, after so many years, even with this salary level, it can only be considered average in this town, but she also resisted and did not change jobs. This is the most important point.
There are too few jobs that can accommodate her at her age. What's more, the work in this clothing store is not only easy but also clean, much better than those jobs as dishwashers in state-owned restaurants.
If the evil mother-in-law in her family knew that she had lost this decent job, she would definitely force her to go out and do those hard, tiring and dirty jobs. After all, their family's financial situation is really average.
I have three children in my family, and the youngest just started kindergarten this year, so it’s a time when money is needed.
Her mother-in-law has always disliked her. If she loses her job because of this, there will be no peace in the family.
She has always relied on her work to not do any housework at home, not cooking, and not washing dishes.
Having this job gives her face and confidence, and enables her to compete with her mother-in-law.
If she loses this job, her status in her husband's family will plummet. By then, she might even be worse than the old maid.
Her man will never forgive her.
The man in her family is so lazy that he idles around all day long.
He is a grown man, but he can't even earn 20 yuan a month. After all, the three children in his family are all supported by his salary.
Otherwise, why would she act like a jealous woman every day, unable to bear to see others living a better life than her?
Seeing the situation in the store at this moment, she suppressed the panic in her heart, and hurriedly stopped the customers who were about to step out of their store, and explained in a dry tone:
"Don't go, don't go."
"You misunderstood me. I didn't mean you were bumpkins."
"I'm talking about those two. It has nothing to do with you. You want to buy clothes here, and I'm not stopping you from buying them!"
As the clerk said this, he pointed at Lu Bin and Jiang Xian who were standing nearby.
She explained to the customers who were also in the store buying clothes that she was talking about Jiang Xian and Lu Bin, who were country bumpkins, and was not talking about them.
So they can't give up shopping in their stores.
How could those customers pay any attention to him?
It was obvious that the clerk's words were an attempt to cover up something.
If they hadn't put down the clothes and chose not to buy them, the clerk might not have taken her insulting words seriously. He simply thought that her behavior was affecting their store's sales, so he panicked and ran out to stop them from leaving the store.
The clerk is like this. If they still consume in this store, they will really be fools who can be bullied.
After they return home, they will definitely tell their relatives how bad this store is. Then, they will tell their relatives not to shop in this store to avoid being scolded as short-sighted bumpkins.
These people ignored the clerk one by one. Seeing this situation, the clerk became even more panicked.
Looking at her colleagues, the way they looked at her became more and more unfriendly.
Some even couldn't help themselves and started to speak up and confront her:
"Sister Liu, what are you doing? The customers who came to your door with great difficulty have now been driven away by you. If, if your words affect the business of our store, can you bear the responsibility in the future?"
The clerk who was speaking had just taken the customer to try on five or six sets of clothes. The customer finally chose one and was about to go to the cashier to pay, but was angered by Sister Liu's words and ran away. How could she not be angry?
The more than half an hour I spent serving this customer was all wasted.
The bonus she had earned was gone in an instant, and she immediately took out all her resentment on Sister Liu, and her tone was not very good when she spoke.
After hearing this, Sister Liu could only bite the bullet and endure it. In her heart, she was actually a little reluctant. She thought, it’s not a big deal. After this wave of customers left, she could just welcome new ones. The customer flow in their store has always been very good.
When this wave of people leaves, there will be another wave. Why should we panic?
Not everyone heard what she said about Jiang Xian and Lu Bin being country bumpkins. After this incident is over, the next wave of people who come will naturally not know about these things.
It will not affect the business in their store. This is what she really thinks in her heart. However, sometimes things are not as simple as she imagined.
After the clerk complained.
The other employees in the store seemed to have found an outlet to vent their anger. After all, they had been bullied by Sister Liu too many times in their daily lives.
I was holding a grudge in my heart, but now that I had this chance, how could I let Sister Liu go?
"That's right, Sister Liu, what you just did was too much. You've driven away all the customers in our store. If the boss finds out about this, what will happen to your job?"
"I finally got a deal this month, and the customer was about to agree to pay at the cashier, but I ruined the deal because of you, Sister Liu. Who will compensate me for this loss?"
"I'm really pissed off. It's the season change right now. There were so many people in the store just now. If they were pissed off by what you said, they would go home and tell their neighbors about it. How would our store's business be affected then?"
"Sister Liu, you are really going too far. I will report this to our store manager later and ask her to talk to the boss. Your work attitude has really affected our respective interests."
They come to work in this store, isn't it just to make money?
The basic salary in their store is actually not high, but the commission is very high. As long as they sell a piece of clothing, they can add one yuan to their salary.
During this season of changing seasons, almost every customer who comes to the store to buy clothes buys several sets.
You can't just buy one piece of this dress, you have to pay attention to the color matching, and the colors have to complement each other so that it looks good when you wear it.
For each set of clothes, they get a commission of two or three yuan. If they can sell more than ten sets a day, the daily turnover will basically exceed their basic salary.
Recently, these shop assistants have been fighting and scrambling, trying their best to increase the sales of their store. If the boss is happy, he might give them a bonus.
As a result, everything was ruined by Sister Liu's actions. How could they not be angry? After all, each of them had to support a family.
No one would choose to go against money.
Sister Liu's behavior just now directly aroused public anger.
After all, if Sister Liu only scolded Lu Bin and Jiang Xian and called them bumpkins, they would not care at all. After all, it would not affect them and they could go on to serve other customers.
The point is that Sister Liu scolded everyone. You have to know that in their town, basically half of the people are outsiders, who just moved here from nearby villages.
The town is such a small place, how many indigenous people can there be?
It is these migrant workers from outside that boost the economy of their town.
Sister Liu didn't even understand such a simple truth. She spoke too harshly and directly scolded everyone.
Moreover, many of these shop assistants came from rural areas to work in the town. How could they not have any opinions about Sister Liu and think that she was too arrogant?
After all, she was not much better than them. She had the same job and received the same salary as them. It was just that she was older and had more experience, so they didn't want to have too much conflict with her on weekdays.
They were afraid that he would cause trouble for them in front of the boss, so they were so tolerant. But the result was that Sister Liu caused trouble again and again. Who could tolerate this?
Just now, more than a dozen customers in the store were all driven away by Sister Liu. You know, that was the bonus in their pockets, and it was almost included in the turnover. How could they not be angry?
Sister Liu was dumbfounded. She didn't expect that the shop assistants would be so dissatisfied with her because of this small matter. She was immediately angry.
She thought that these shop assistants usually respected her on the surface because they respected her and thought she had more seniority, so they were afraid of her. She didn't expect that now, after such a small incident, they dared to blame her.
How could she possibly swallow this?
Besides, Sister Liu has always been a person who cares about her reputation.
She became unhappy and argued with the shop assistants:
"I think what you said is a bit too serious."
"I was just scolding these two people, calling them bumpkins. They have no money but pretend to be rich and want to buy clothes in our store."
"I was scolding them, not other customers. As for other customers, how would I know if they would eavesdrop on me?"
"In my opinion, they have no money in their pockets and cannot afford the clothes in our store, so they took the opportunity to leave in anger."
