Outlet Sale

This week at work we had the outlet sale (second one this year). What an experience that was! Tuesday I had set-up duty, which just unpacking boxes and putting out product. That was great, because I got to see firsthand what was going to be sold that night. It was a looong day, but I did get to start shopping early on employee night, so it worked out well. Wednesday was a normal work day and then Thursday was back to the outlet, where I was stationed to work in the check-out area, getting tags ready to be scanned. However, since our register was the very last one, and there were oh, say, 20 something registers, we rarely had a customer! I left my station early and headed back to the office for a meeting. The people are pretty crazy at the sales, running up and down the aisles, just stuffing product into their bags, not even looking at what it is. Then they go and sit on the floor and dump out their bags to sort out their stuff. There are bins all around where you can put product you don't want anymore, and there are vultures constantly going around to them looking for something they want. Tomorrow is the last day and I plan on going back to possibly buy some more stuff now that they have been marked down  to the cheapest prices.

Friday was another regular day of work, although I did go back to the sale at lunch. Friday night was Tickled Pink, a night out at one of our facilities where all the proceeds benefit the VB Breast Cancer Foundation. What a great night! I am going to make that a separate post once I get all of the pics from my friends.
