Sometimes I love my job. If you are new to reading here, I am deputy manager of a village charity shop which supports our wonderful community centre. I have been involved from the very beginning about eight or nine years ago as a volunteer then co manager.
I went back to volunteering after a break and am now deputy manager.
On Saturday I sold five little ex Tapas bowls to a customer and asked if they were for cat food as I use bowls like that. The customer said not for cats but Hedgehogs ! His wife runs a Hedgehog rescue so I gave him one bowl for free.
It was a nice conversation and chatting to customers is my favourite part of the job.
The new manager has been poorly so I covered her days off and did a lot of tidying which involved quite a lot of lifting heavy items so now have back ache which is the worst part of the job !
Cute story. I'm going to get much more opportunity to talk to customers in the next few months, as all of our interns are leaving very shortly and I will need to work on the till more. I'm actually quite looking forward to it.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great job.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure the hedgehogs will be chuffed to be eating there food from such exotic dishes!
ReplyDeleteHope you aren't feeling too achy.

How lovely for the hedgehogs. They are becoming scarce so any help. Glad the job is now on an even keel. xxx
ReplyDeleteWe don't have real hedgehogs, you know. Another endangered species. How sad.
ReplyDeleteit must feel really satisfying when a customer finds the perfect treasure x
