Super helpful! I start my first day at a retail job tomorrow and I appreciate the advice :3
Aw, I'm glad I could help! Good luck on your first day!! :)
+tewsimple thank you so much! :))
How did your first day go? Starting mine on Saturday lol
Watto the Toydarian well, still working retail today, 3 years later, so I guess you could say it went pretty well!! :)
I work as a grocery store cashier and some of these really applied. I'm into nail art and I always get people saying stuff about my nails because, like you, I'm just terrible at carrying a conversation with customers. Lol
I just got hired by JC Penny and scared to death. Never worked retail before.
you'll do great! retail is a really good industry to start in because everything is explained for you and you have a ton of people to ask for help
This was very helpful. I’m gonna start working retail for the first time and I’m excited.
This was such a good idea for a video! Very helpful Paula! 😃
I feel you on the whole chipped nail polish thing! I always get embarrassed when I'm working and my nails look like a hot mess haha
+Bailey Layne Yes! I'm so glad you understand and that wasn't a stupid tip haha :)
I got the phone call telling me I’m employed at tk maxx today and I have my induction Tuesday and Thursday next week😁
AN OLD SAYING ABOUT RETAIL:______" In retail you meet "some" of the nicest people......and "all" of the WORST.
Signed "35 years as a retail manager and service manager"
I am suppose have an interview at Belks this coming Monday but I feel like I am such an introvert. I hope I do good though as a Sale Associate.
It's my first day working in a video store and its GREAT.
My little kid dreams of going into the adult section? I don't care about that anymore but sometimes I go back there to restock movies.
Its also cool cause you have to watch a bunch of movies to work there. :>
Hey thanks for checking out my channel earlier
+Kristina Rouse Ah yes you totally get me! 4 years is a long time haha
Thank you so much
thank you so much for these tips! im really nervous to start my job today in retail but this really helped!
Ah I hope your first day went amazingly!!
I worked in retail 5 years at the airport ... I met lot of people
Thanks
Ha! I work at TJ Maxx, and is my first job, so this helped. :)
Hi, I have never worked in retail, but now I feel like I can. Thx.
+Lily Wellen Thanks Lily, glad I could help
Lots of value here!!
Hello, again thank you for replying , gon in for my paper round today and boss has pined my name badge on me her self is she OK to do this? (she was tired of telling me to wear it) but I don't like it, you feel you got it on and I hate the colour it's pink and yellow would you wear it? Do I have to wear it I hate it? Can you reply again please.
Stephen Shippam you have to wear it because it’s apart of your dress code🤷🏽♀️
Your hair is so pretty! I worked retail 7 years and this is so true, it can be a challenge as well!!
+ErinTheInsomniac Thanks girl! and you are so right!
Awesome video! Only feedback I’d give is that next time you should try to lower the music playing throughout the video cause it drowns your pleasant voice out. But overall, very useful!! Thank you 🙏🏿
❤ Thank you !!!!!!!!
Today is my first day working at Carter’s and I’m super nervous. I’ve never worked retail and it doesn’t help that today is Black Friday
Aw good luck!! you'll do great! :)
I actually work at that store, it just fucking sucks that they make you stay nearly 6 hours to close.
I work at a mom and pop grocery store in my town, as a cashier. So there are similarities to working in a clothing store. The only jewelry I wear to work are earrings. And yes, comfy shoes are a given.
+Veronica Boyer (PrincessVoldemort) That's awesome! I'm glad there are some similarities between us!
This video definately helped! I'm thinking of applying to work at a store sometime soon and have been a little nervous, but this helped me feel better. (:
Yay I'm so glad!!
I’m starting a retail job in my 20’s and I’m nervous af
tomorrow is my first day at tj maxx!! i’m really excited & hopefully i get the hang of it.
yay!! you'll love it!
Its been 3 weeks since your first day, so I really would like to know how everything is going so far? Lol
yes it has. i love it there & it’s better then my previous job at amc! the management is great and my co workers are very helpful. there’s still some areas i need help at but i actually love it there. maybe i should make a video too lol.
Mimi Well that’s awesome! I’m sure you’ll catch on to whatever it is you need help on! Lol I just got an email that I got an interview for them in about a week from today.
I just started my job today at tjmaxx, I know about the dress code about not wearing blue jeans and that's pretty much all I have lol. Could you give me an idea on what to wear?
You can wear whatever you want as long as it's not jeans or anything sleeveless!
Great tips girl!
+Logan Lynn Thanks!!
good tips
I’m a pretty awkward guy, but I just got a part time job at buckle, do you think it’s pretty easy to get used to being friendly and talkative with new people/ customers?
Thank you hope to hear back from you. :)
Yeah it's easy to get used to! I used to be very shy around new people but working retail helped me open up. Just be confident and know that they're looking to you for help, and it's your job! :)
OMG !!! I just love all of your tips
Aw I'm glad!! :)
Nice
Good tips, thank you.
thank you for watching!!
Awesome video, what do you do now are done college?
I know your comment is a year old, but she works in the film industry! She's in charge of the financials for different projects and they change all the time!
How did you greet customers?
Different ways for different stores! At the Gap and TJ Maxx, it was super casual and I didn't have to necessarily greet everyone that came in (sometimes it got way too busy for that). But now that I work at Francesca's, we are super focused on guest experience, so we have genuine conversation and get to know her by greeting her
She's so cute! Thanks for the advice. Will keep in mind.
I work at The Children's Place!!! :) Loved the video!
+Kelsey Miller That's so fun! Thanks :)
i work there now!
So I'm wondering what you actually do when working at H&M and is there a dresscode?
I don't work at H&M, but at TJ Maxx I work on the sales floor and at the register. The dress code is business casual, so you just can't wear blue jeans or anything with holes in it.
tewsimple haha here in europe we have TKmax.
Hello gon to shop to start my paper round and I got told off with in 5 minutes for not putting my badge on and she pined it on me again can she keep doing this?
And she has warned me that she will give me a Discipleny can she?
Yes if she's telling you to wear the name tag, just do it. It's not a big deal
@@tewsimple hi on my round now, and I have taken it off, as its PINK unk, the same as the rest of the staff wear. But she did say she will check with some house that i was wearing it but she my be fibing
And can she give me a Discipleny?
Just do what your manager says! You don't want disciplinary action to be taken for something so simple as wearing a name badge. If you have any issues, take it up with her. I have no way to help you
@@tewsimple 13 year, old thanking you for your help. I HAVE now got my badge on! And I have just had 3 house thanking me by name and say its nice to put a name to the face and what a great idea having a badge on is , 1 house is going to phone my boss and tell her I was wearing my badge (could have been a test) and 2 more love the PINK badge. What do you think about that?
You from
if you are confident in lying you are good at retail sale lol
Im really late but does the register tell you how much change to give back ??? I suck at math lmao
Yes it does!! haha you don't have to think about it
Omg seriously? and here I was so worried I'd have to do that on the fly LOL
These are great tips for the customers as well, especially be nice :)
+Amanda Miller Thanks! :)
I start my first day of my first job tomorrow :"))) super helpful video
ahhh good luck!! you'll do great!
@@tewsimple omg thank you sooo much 😍😍😍
@Artegoria howd it go?
Still relevant !!
oh hey girl! so perfect i go to tjmaxx orientation today! :D xx
oh good!! I hope it went okay! :)
What about all the times I’m having a bad day and the associates are absolutely rude and yell at you and make you feel worse. Like at Walmart when I asked where the flower pots are and the lady started yelling. Horrible service
What the heck?
I am more of a "Behind the scenes" kind of character a "roadie" if you will
I have little to no presence and often nobody notices me
i would prefer that
Ramona Andersen I would rather do that coz I don’t wanna talk/ smile all the time!
You are so beautiful and your voice is amazing
this is perfect I'm literally watching this before my tj maxx interview
YAY! Hope it went well!
i just got hired at T.J. Maxx! Can you tell me what the dress code is?
Thank You!
They technically call it business casual! You can't wear blue jeans, shorts, or tank tops!
Thanks!
I can't do cashiering cause I don't know math
The cash register does the math for you and most people pay with cards now and days so you will be good
I’m scared to do cash register I’m about to apply for rainbow and I’m terrified of one day working the register but I need the money 😫😫
Thank u very much madam for useful information
You look like an older version of Brooklyn and Bailey
omg what an honor!!
tewsimple they are for sure gorgeous! You remind me of them so much :)
Your cute
Do you want to get married and try to make a big beautiful family and give back to our community every year?
Honey you seem like just a u tub blogger ...not a retailer
What does this even mean? A person can do multiple things with their time.
speaking to fast
As a male I didn't particularly think this video was helpful, the only reason I didn't give it a thumbs down was because you've only gotten seven thumbs down in the last two years and I'd feel bad being #8.
Joel Atkins As a female who has mostly worked retail jobs with other females, I don't think it'd be appropriate for me to give tips specifically to males. These are just things I've learned over the years. Thank you ever so much for not thumbsing this down, have a great day
I wasn't looking for tips specifically for Males, I just didn't think any of these tips stood out, first tip, always smile and be polite, a given in the work force, communicate with your fellow employees, this can be deemed as unprofessional, but yes makes the day go much faster, third tip, don't wear things you love, especially rings, the reason you said don't wear rings was because you might lose them, even though you can completely come off unprofessional by being covered up with jewellery, next tip, have nice nails, and you stated this purely for the fact that when you point at stuff it'll make you uncomfortable, even though having poor nails(ten day old to be exact) is a huge problem if you're working in fashion, because if you don't good or respectable, how do you expect the customers to take your advice, next tip, if you're wearing clothing that isn't store bought, say it's a gift, that wasn't too bad, but if you get a regular customer coming in asking you the same question the next day and you continue to say it was a gift, then that causes a problem with trust, last tip, don't buy clothes from your work as you'll go broke, I understand the side of this, as you want to save money, but at the same time it's highly recommended to able to wear clothes from your own store, so if you get complimented, you can point it out on the shelves and say "Yeah I'm wearing this over here combined with this up here, and I absolutely love it", you get to use yourself as a display, that's just my opinion, I rush typed this so there will likely be a few grammar mistakes.
These are simply tips I gathered that have helped me in my retail jobs and I wanted to share them with everyone else. If you don't think they stand out, that's fine! They've helped others and that was my goal with this video
that face is busted af
that's nice of you to say
Your personality is busted af
