I actually had a sick to my stomach feeling when I was reading how she tried to convince herself or the readers that it was okay. It took me a long time to read this book because it was that part that wanted me to abandon the read. But the side stories of the trades people who she interviews are what saves the book.

I had a customer that drove me crazy. She would come in on Friday, buy a dress, lipstick, nail polish and shoes, take up a tremendous amount of my time, I did receive an hourly wage, but my real money came from commissions. Come Monday, here she would be, returning EVERYTHING! I HAD to take it back as it was store policy. My time was wasted, I lost the commission that I made on the sale, and the cosmetics were just lost as I could not put them back into the inventory. This behavior cannot be justified in my opinion. Remember, the store is no longer in business. RhondaBusshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12555069797738423675noreply@blogger.com
