Credit Crash

Sigh... so I have just returned from my first "credit crash" course at Dillards and I think it has had an adverse effect on my credit app collection rate. Where before this 7am Saturday course took place I at least would try to get customers to fill out an application for a Dillards "rewards" card as they are so called. However now I don't ever feel like asking any of the sacred questions again...
"Will you be earning Dillard's Rewards points today?" or "Will you be redeeming an All-Day Shopping Pass today?" and "Would you like to use your Dillard's Rewards card today?"
I realize that the Dillards executives only want me to approach the customers in this manner to trick them into thinking signing up for a credit card is a good idea. "Look at all of these points you can earn!" umm by giving you hundreds and possibly thousands of my dollars? I don't think so. I work for Dillards and I don't even have a Dillards card, and I think the only reason is because I hate the concept of it so much. Although without one I can't even recieve my employee discount... mother effers...
Why should I work so hard for them, and ask every customer I see if they want to sign up for Dillards "rewards" and hear "NO" over and over each day, only for Dilards to then punish me and send me to a 7am class because all of my customers are smart enough to not fall for this trick.
Sigh... no matter how crappy it is, I still have to ask every customer... only now everytime I ask I think I'll die a little inside...
Thanks Dillards

So I'm super excited about work (not something that happens often.) Monday will be my first day working in my new department, and not only is it a new department, but it's in a new store too. In the mens store instead of the womens store. Why am I excited about it?
1) The people that work in the Mens store are way more laid back and chill.
2) I won't have to put shoes on random little kids stinky/dirty feet anymore.
and most importantly....
3) I WON'T HAVE TO WORK WITH SANDY ANYMORE!!!

I am SOOO pumped about it... she is so annoying and stupid I don't think I could handle another single day working with her.
She shocked me daily with the numerous stupid things she said/did. The most recent of which being her telling a mother of a 10 month old girl that the girl will have a size seven shoe when she is an adult. THAT'S SO STUPID! I can only hope that the mother knew she was full of shit.
I have also watched her measure a kids foot before, told the mother that the Brannock device (the shoe measuring thing that Sandy doesn't even know the name of) was reading a 1, and that she would bring out a size 2 shoe... umm what? "you measure a one but we are going to try a two"
WTF, the kid ended up getting a size one shoe. Maybe that's why the Brannock said one? maybe?
Ugh then I could rant all day about how rude she is to me. Telling me "your hair is gross and you need to get it cut" and "you don't know how to measure feet" and "you mess things up so don't touch anything"
Dumb
I'm confused though, if I don't know what I'm doing and mess everything up... then why am I getting a raise and moving to a better department while she stays in kids shoes?
huh interesting :)
