The Hardships Of A Manager

If you are a fashionista or simply a shopaholic, I'm pretty sure you've been to clothing shops with neatly arranged arrays of clothes to choose from. But you may have not really realized how well arranged it is, how denim vests fit 5x5 in one display platform, or how drop crotch pants can fit 2x4. You may have just checked and tried the clothes you liked and simply bought it, and then left. I, too, did that. I did not care at all and just bought what I need. Until, I became a manager of a clothing shop.

When you’re a manager you become officer and you’re higher than a trusted seller, but here’s the catch: you have to arrange. And it's not that easy than you think. Clothes are hard to arrange, especially tops and footwear. It takes minutes to hours to do one platform of tops or footwear. Imagine yourself trying to solve a math equation in 20 minutes and you do not even know how or what it is, that’s how hard it is.

A manager must also make sure that each table is filled with clothes to its maximum capacity to save space and offer great variety of clothing choices. If you try to arrange all platforms available and try to fit everything, especially when you are a perfectionist, by the time you are done I bet you’re dead inside.

So remember, if you ever try to buy clothes, especially an item in the middle, there will always be a manager going to spend hours organizing the whole table because of the mess you made. And if you are a trusted seller thinking to be a manager, think twice. Trust me, I know by experience (not that i regret being one).
