when? why?

 

It's more physical conditioning than anything else. You'll get used to standing. The shoes you'll be required to wear will look something like this ...


If you're in the stock room, then you can get away with something much less formal.



The worst part is "getting in season". The company views you as a walking model for their clothes. They'll offer "discounts" towards certain items they want you to push out the door. (seasonal pants and shirts) The shitty part is, 40% off $100 pants is still $60 out of your pocket. Same goes for shirts ... you'll need 3 or 4 to make it though the week. Buy something basic ... a blue long sleeved button down, a white long sleeved button down ... those carried all year round. If you spend all your money on short sleeved polos, then you'll need an entire new wardrobe for the Fall season ... which starts on July 4th. :a:

The company will also ask you to work some retarded hours. They'll attempt to use you, burn you out, and replace when needed. Just remember, never skip class for work ... never work extra hours ... if you have an exam the next day, never close the night before.

 

I think 3-midnight on Saturdays are retarded hours h:

I have a pair of Kenneth Cole's. I like them

 

worked at gap for 3 years....

GET OUT WHILE YOU CAN

2 perks of working at GAP INC.

-The discount
-Meeting a buttload of new employee chicks during holiday season

my advice, since you're still in high school is working at a restaurant.....a lot better pay.

 

I have the exact same style, minus the laces.

 

Those shoes are tight. Working in a restaurant is a good idea. In college, I worked at Gladstone's in Malibu. Best money I ever made. Busy as hell, on the beach with chicks in tight white shorts. I never had so much fun. Find the busiest resturant in your town that needs an expeditor and do it. The expeditor is the guy that the cooks give the food to and you tray it up. The servers come to get their food, and tip you out at the end of the night. They give you a percentage of their sales. If you're good enough, they end up tipping YOU and not the "expeditor." You'll act as a liason between the kitchen and the servers. Good lessons in diplomacy. Next thing you know, you'll be working 6hr shits a decent base, and like $70-$100 in tips you don't have to declare, because you're "selling" anything like bartenders and servers. Maybe there's a Houstons or something high end where the check average is high. Higher the prices, higher the tips, more you can make.

 

When I worked at Ruby Tuesday's the expo didn't make any tips. All servers tipped out the bartender and the host. I hated serving, but made good money. Eventually the stress of that job and the stress of 19 credits of core-classes got the best of me.

 

Damn.... Not tipping out the expo is lame. That spot makes good money in REALLY busy restaurants. Nice to hear that someone knows what an expo is, though. h: Most people go, "huh"?

My biggest semester at Cal State Northridge was a 18 unit 3.8GPA working like 35hours a week. I hear you on the stress.

 

:lmao:

I'm scared to ask which one, Hawthorn, Northbrook Court, or other.
