Venting commencing in 3, 2, 1...You may or may not know but working with the general public can sometimes be unpleasant. If you're so lucky that you manage a job that you don't have to work with the masses, I'm jealous. Now there are two sides to everything, I know. One side of my job is filled with helping people, making women looking fabulous and finding their dream product, whatever that may be. The other side is stopping people from stealing and ruining "live" products (meaning products that we could otherwise sell.)
The first is people that come into a high end makeup retailer and steal expensive products. I hate these people, they make us workers extremely weary and untrusting of our customers. I won't go into too much detail of how these people try and steal or how thy manage it, both are infuriating, but I will say going to hand someone a product only to pick up the box and realize it is empty is not a pleasant moment. Or when you're doing a clients makeup and every time you turn your back they're sneaking products into their purse, we have so many mirrors for a reason. I can see you. *sigh* Every time people steal products it takes money away from our business, money away from our paycheck that we work hard to earn. If you want these high end products then get a job and earn money so that you can afford them and not look stupid when you're forced to pull all of those Dior mascaras out of your bag.
Secondly are people that look at a tester of a product and STILL go and pull the box from behind it, open it and use the product that was packaged. Why? Who do these people think they are? There are testers for a reason..to TEST the product. This isn't Wal-Mart you can actually try it before you buy it. I just don't understand.
People wonder why makeup consultants stick so close to clients it's because it is our job. One, to make sure you have all the help you could possibly need. Two, to make sure that you aren't stealing the said makeup. And three, to ensure that if you try a product, it's the tester and it's sanitized properly.
Woooo, now that all of that is out I feel better. Sometimes a vent sesh is needed. I do love my job but as with all jobs there are parts that annoy you. I try not to focus on those too much but sometimes ya just gotta get it out. But here is a picture of an adorable puppy so that this post isn't too awful.

Have a wonderful morning, afternoon, night whatever it is for you!
