Q: Can anyone tell me what to expect while working in a gift shop? I got that job volunteering at a hospital, and am not sure what to expect. My training begins tomorrow, basically, if you have any tips, that would be helpful. If not, that's fine too. =)
Expect a lot people there to buy mostly teddy bears and flowers. Be kind and sympathetic, since a lot of these people are going to be buying things for their sick loved ones. Make suggestions of certain bouquets, or which bear is most popular. Have fun!

Thank you for you advice, very helpful. It was my first day today and it went great, got to run the cash register and close up shop, and most people don't get to do all of that. So very happy with how it went. Thanks again for your advice! =)

Happy 2008! My name is Dana for those of you who don't know, and I obviously love to give advice, because if I didn't, I wouldn't be here. I will pick at anyone who doesn't bother to capitalize their "I"'s or the beginnings of sentences. Proper grammar and spelling is very important to me. bcuz it Just loooks soooo sloppie when u type lyke this. So a word to the wise, and for the majority of you that it doesn't apply to, think about it, and watch yourself. Second of all, I will never ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever write something that is not true. So therefore I am always right. So stand down and accept it. (Note: that also means that my "opinions" are actual facts. At least the ones I bother to write.)

Never ask me anything about how fat you are or love life. Cliched, I know, but I am heartless when it comes to the truth. If you don't know what to do with your cheating boyfriend that you still love, go ask someone else since I could not care less. Seriously.

Have a nice day!
Love,

WARNING:
My answers will be based on a preppy lifestyle. I am the clean, preppy sort, like the person who looks clean and classy and doesn't really notice anyone who isn't, regardless that some weirdos think that preppy people hate them. Also, if you wonder about the corrections on the answers I give, no worries; they're just simple corrections to those who don't know where to put a period, or that they have to capitalize the beginnings of sentences. Please don't be offended.
