Runaround

We were told to be ready the weekend after the photo shoot for possible training dates but that weekend turned into the next weekend and so on and so on.  Another month had passed since the photo shoot.  I don’t know much about liquor licenses but I guess it takes forever for them to go through.  Either that or it wouldn’t have surprised me in this case if someone had filled out some of the paperwork late or wrong and it had to be redone which caused the delay. 

It was a bit annoying that every time I thought I was going to start training and got time off from my other job only have it be pushed back over and over.  Luckily I had another part time job to make money but I wondered about people like Casey who were counting on this job.   It didn’t seem right and I had no idea why they’d hire people 5 months before opening.  I even heard that they started in the summer so basically some people had been waiting around 7 months. 

The Facebook page was being utilized a lot.  It was the best way to share information.  I wonder how they did store openings in the days before Facebook, that would have been a big pain.  Girls kept posting on the page saying they were being positive, putting positive energy out to the universe to open soon, and they couldn’t wait for the opening to happen because it would be so fun.  Everyone really wanted to start work and start making money. 

Theresa mentioned again that we always had to be at our prime because they weren’t keeping everyone.  A few postings later she mentioned needing to hire more girls because she was afraid of losing some because the opening was taking so long and to let our friends know if they were looking for a job.  Funnily enough some girls took it upon themselves to delete those postings about hiring more people.  Since everyone was part of the group anyone had access to do this.   

The Facebook page was also used for other info like informing everyone to pick up their shoes.  Theresa mentioned that many times so I guess some people were being really lackadaisical about getting them.  The shoes could only be bought online from a vendor using a special Tilted Kilt Code and could only be delivered to the store directly.  They had some sort of trademark on the exact pattern of the kilt so I guess the company didn’t want just anyone wearing the Tilted Kilt shoes either which were basically just Mary Janes with non stick soles on the bottom.  Theresa also offered a good deal to anyone who wanted to do a mystic tan because she had her own equipment for it.  People look better tan in that outfit anyway.
