10 Facts About My Job

A friend of mine does a fun fact friday. I thought it was a really cute idea, and have officially began friday facts.

I work at a jewelry store where I am constantly learning new things. This is what I learned this past week:

Fact 1: People really do get engaged after knowing eachother for 3 days.

Fact 2: Squeezing into a ring two sizes too small is not like squeezing into pants two sizes too small. Your finger will swell, turn purple and your manager might have to cut off the ring.

Fact 3: Getting kissed on the cheek by your 80-year-old customer is a mixture of creepy and sweet.

Fact 4: People come looking for $50 wedding rings and are devastated when they can't find one.

Fact 5: If you are nice to your customers, they will bring you Birthday cake and then buy their ring somewhere else.

Fact 6: If you don't want the surprise ruined you probably should give the store your phone number and not hers.

Fact 7: You might get asked by your customer if you will marry him.

Fact 8: Things become really awkward when you ask if the guy brought in his daughter to help him pick out a ring, and it turns out to be his girlfriend.

Fact 9: If the alarm goes off in the middle of the night, you get to watch the police search the place with their guns drawn, only to find out it was a hanging sign that set off the alarm.

Fact 10: You will get in trouble by the four men you work with if you turn on the heat in the middle of the summer and lose all thermastat priveledges.
