Working at Victoria's Secret | My Experience

[@MissVendetta]

Am I the only one (as a customer) that'll put clothing I don't want back to the proper place? If I see a shirt in the wrong section, I'll put it in the right one. I don't know... seems rude to not do that.

[@BB-vx9nd]

Same!

[@pbjelly122698]

I also like picking up clothing that's fallen on the ground. I just always feel bad for seeing it and not doing anything about it.

[@angela3286]

+Rocky Z me too!

[@noelaninyssa]

Me too !!!! 😄

[@Fatima_316]

Miss Vendetta OMGGGGG SAMEEEE. i thought I was the only humane person in the mall at the time 😂

[@IndigoDetry]

I have no problem wearing all black everyday.

[@jayheim3216]

Same

[@DanielleJohnson-qs7xn]

Almost every time I go shopping , I wear all black and people ask if I work in the store. Especially in old navy and jcpenney

[@insertcreativeusername3587]

Now I understand why those girls in VS are constantly after me the second in the door....

[@KourttneyL]

I really hate that so much!!!

[@brittanyclark3734]

+Kourttneex3 almost anytime a sales associate harasses you in a store it's the manager forcing them to sadly :(

[@KourttneyL]

Brittany Clark NOOOOO :(

[@Kertney]

I work at Rue21 and I am required to "fragrance strip" customers, basically showing off our perfumes we have and we have to sell a certain amount perfume a day. I don't like it because I get sassy and rude people who don't pay attention to me when I speak to them. And then at the register I am required to ask for their email and people are just so rude.

[@inamesser5064]

+Kertney I work at Rue too and I wish people would understand that we have to ask for info and push fragrances!

[@kaiwrather3587]

Its Neka same I work at Starbucks I just got the Victoria secret job as well

[@ophiusmacone4003]

me now but i work at vs

[@Shelovescouture]

I know exactly what you mean, I worked at sephora for about a year and a half and whenever we had "events" like an Urban Decay event or Bare Minerals it basically means that we have to sell only that brand to every customer no matter what or we WILL get scolded and it feels so shitty...like I knew in my soul that the Bareskin foundation was crap and wouldn't be good for their skin type but I had to tell people it was amazing in order to keep my job...so messed up. I wanted to work there in order to help people feel their best and feel confident, not sell them something that isn't good. It just goes to show that you need to be super careful when shopping in retail stores, because employees are forced to sell things to customers they may not need or something that just isn't worth the money.

[@AnimateTheWorld]

+Shelovescouture well thanks for that. now i know not to completly trust them when buying gifts for my gf

[@Shelovescouture]

+LIJ4Productions you just have to be careful, especially on event days which are usually Saturday's, a lot of people are genuine or want to be genuine, you just have to feel them out and see if their recommendations are coming from an honest good place or if they actually seem existed and knowledgable about the products they are showing you :) otherwise just going any day during the week haha

[@stunningbeaute1037]

I too worked at Sephora...in Paris (France). Same shit, same story! At mine, we were not alowed to give away samples if the customer hadn't buy something first...and if the customer did already make a purchase, we were not alowed to give more than 2 or 3 samples...not even the best ones! We had each day a amount of sale €€€ that we needed to reach! It was a freaking competition between sales associates!!!! The cashiers would steal your "customers" and put their name in the receipt!!! Some of the S.A did not know what the heck they were talking about regarding the products...they would sell you dog shit in a luxury jar if that's what we had to push that day! I personally would always be truthful to the customers and whisper to them "this is what I'm supposed to sell but this is what you need! And trust me you don't need to buy this other product, save your money!!" but guess what, they would come back and ask for me again and again :-D et voilà!!!!!!!!

[@audrinegharakhanian9751]

so that explains why I'm never asking an employee to help me out with a make-up choice ever again. When I first started getting into makeup I was pretty young, like 15-16. This lady I asked for help offered me urban decay... did she notice my age? I ended up spending way too much money that day, and had an extremely pissed father. She lured me in good. But that's like really messed up. And now I find this out years later... like wtf.

[@audrinegharakhanian9751]

thank you for posting this. Now I know to not let my daughter get lured in when she starts makeup lol. very helpful

[@yummouna]

lol I would have LOVED the all black dress code though

[@lilabeer25]

[@alliskittles6939]

[@AnarchistHeart98]

[@chantel1451]

+Sonia I would too. Wouldn't have bothered me at all lol

[@sexybeast051]

Where I work (Big Y, it's a grocery store) customers are able to talk to the manager if they really enjoyed their experience and tell them about it and then the managers make a board and put all of the nice things up each month and looking at them and seeing your name and the nice things they said just make me so happy. It always helps me to push on through work even if I'm having an off day.

[@Nadigoes2NY]

that's so sweet :)

[@bethcavanaugh2238]

I work at one too! Same thing at my location, it's super lovely!

[@TheKarroca]

+Lindsey Milton That is a so much better business tactic than to just track sales!!

[@lotusgrl444]

A little of topic...but looking behind her at her closet..she really likes glittery things..(glitter shoes...glitter dress)

[@blazestar667]

If I have sales person go out of their way to help me, I always tell their manager how awesome that person was. It does help when evaluation time comes around.

[@maddym3165]

I applied to work at Victoria's Secret and I did an amazing interview in my opinion, and the interviewee told me they aren't looking for anyone who doesn't have a "mannequin type body" and I still cry about it all the time it made my self esteem plummet

[@maddym3165]

+Shamique Etienne I did report it, they told me they were sorry for the inconvenience but the job had been taken and have a nice day.

[@hasmigk6715]

Message the company!

[@morganwidick3212]

+Maddy c aw thats so heartbreaking! I know at my store they are actually starting to hire bigger people because they are trying to get the image across that they are not only for model figured bodies. Don't be upset that store is just stupid

[@maddym3165]

Thank you all for such sweet messages

[@anaccount9439]

+Morgan I 'love' how they change their way 180 degrees not because it's humane or the right thing to do but because they're scared the customer trends have changed and they can be boycotted.

[@cindycaballero5499]

I stood in line just to purchase a VS gift card and the cashier at the register hands it to me and asks if anyone helped me with it today . Most confusing day of my life.

[@carleymills322]

I totally know what you mean about feeling like you're conning people and you didn't like selling things you were 100% in love with. This is why I could never work for a retail. Thanks for the video because I love VS and have thought about applying there various times but for now I'll stick to my cafe job. (: love your videos btw

[@MissMoontree]

Somehow it can work, but that is if you have your own shop. Then you can say you hate or love an item. My mom never left the board/card game shop without a game, just because she could always count on the professional and honest opinion of the salesperson. He was really energetic and enthusiastic, but also upfront if a game was boring.

[@dijonvolner6024]

I took a retail course when I was younger & the teacher told us that "it doesn't matter if your customer can't put food on the table that night, you SELL them the item" I was mortified.

[@mynicknameisboring]

I hate that victoria secret has that system where they ask you who helped you. I was in US with a friend this year and we had like 5 people from the same store asking us "can I help you with anything today" and they were asking us soon many times. Then when we finally bought something they asked us who helped us and we could only choose 1. But I find victoria secret workers sooo salesly and that makes sense because they have that system, but it was very annoying for us who are not used to that

[@DemonChildCC]

I hate that.. when they're constantly asking if I need help, I leave.. I usually tell workers that if I need help, I'll go look for them.. best buy can get annoying..

[@xSoHappyxIMVU]

If the cashier asks if i got help i just say no tbh

[@naschick2929]

It's hard for me to find someone to help me when I go lol

[@sydgirl8534]

That’s why I lie and say myself 😂😂😂😂😂

[@tommytrillfiger5302]

Rated R Sports Cards & Games the workers hate it even more than you do trust me but they get in trouble if they don’t ask

[@MusicandDancing4Ever]

I love Sephora, Ulta, Victoria's Secret, make up, and I worked a little at these places and I found working in cosmetics and around women is not for me. You can love make up but it doesn't mean its a job meant for you. Working around a bunch of women, there's going to be cattiness, jealousy, stealing sales, it's crazy! That's why I went to college so I can get me a real career where I can work around a diverse group of people.

[@Joanna-jv4su]

MusicandDancing4Ever yes girl! 🙌🏻

[@kellybowker6466]

Retail sucks but I worked at Ulta for 6 months and it was the sweetest, most supportive group of girls ever!

[@jrrcorcloudsaremine]

MusicandDancing4Ever Overpriced stores!!!

[@Jblasian8]

Its been 2 years since you made this comment. Still feel like a career job is better? Its bad too... people purposely train you half-ass so they can keep their spot. You always have a momma bear at the job who ''knows everything"

[@misspruexoxo6982]

I worked in retail for 6 years and I will never go back. Like you, I had no idea what people were really like until I worked in a retail environment. I saw grannys scratching people for mink blankets and people sprinting for $2 towels. I love online shopping.

[@paigesullivan327]

I live in NY. I used to work at Toys R Us. We had to work 6 hours minimum to get a half hour break. I remember one day I worked a double. I worked from 10am to 9:45pm. I worked 11 hours and 45 minutes, so I only got one half hour break instead of two because it wasn't twelve hours. And being paid $8.75, I was over it. That happened a few times, then my boss told me I was never gonna do anything with my life since I was always working so I quit.

[@FeyonaT]

That's heartbreaking. Honestly, all those bosses who dare to say such things to employees are going to hell. I never worked in retail in USA and never will (I hope) because I see what kind of shitty job it is. Most of the time when I come to the store to buy something I end up picking items from the floor thrown by another customers.

[@shikkithefirst5393]

Paige Sullivan I used to work for a pretty big electronics chain, but because i was under 18 when i worked there i did not qualify for the local minimum wage and i honestly made 3.50$ an hour... saturday i worked for 8 hours (10:00-18:00) and i got half an hour brake at 12:00. Sunday i worked for 6 hours (12:00-18:00) and then i had no brakes. Plus we always needed at least another half hour to count the cash registers. So as a 16 y/o i was making 8+ hour days with honetly 1 half hour brake. I'm so glad i'm not working there anymore. Now i make 5$ an hour (i'm 17 now so atill no minimum wage for me... ) but i have 20 min brake every 2 hours ^-^

[@siesiechampion]

Paige Sullivan lol i work for Toys and Victorias now..

[@katmarie4812]

I worked at a skating rink, I’d work 10 am- midnight and we didn’t get any breaks, I was in pain by the time I sat in the car

[@phyllysanantonio]

@@shikkithefirst5393 Boo hoo. I've worked all day with a 30 min break. Fucking crybabies. That is why you whiny bitches will never have a good job. Shit poor employees.

[@Ilekkiya]

I work at sephora and once a man asked to speak to my manager and said very nice things about me so I know how it feels! I love people who take the time to make you feel appreciated even if it's a simple thank you ☺️!

[@nondan332]

Yeah, I wish it was that easy. You have to stay in the Green for each segment. If you fall behind in either the segment sails or spa and you get less hours to work. Like if you are behind, they won’t schedule you.

[@jamie8999]

I’ve been working at VS for 2 years now & ive never heard of “the green zone” 😂 so whatever that is we don’t have that anymore. We still have SPAHS like she was talking about where they would LIKE you to make but if you don’t, it’s not like you get in trouble or something

[@xLolitaxRagxDollx]

I completely agree with you about that last part about the morality aspect about being pressured to push products that you don't even believe in. That's what drove me away from marketing and sales-oriented jobs in the first place. Good on you for speaking out about it.

Polilla no there’s a difference between working at the store and actually modeling

[@PaulThul96]

YES. I totally understand what you were getting at towards the end of your video. Something similar I could compare it to would be when I worked at Marshall's (also affiliated with Tjmaxx and HomeGoods) they'd pressure us to get people to open up their store credit card and if they didn't say yes, the employee's would be the ones scolded for it. They even had charts to pretty much publicly track (in the break room) who was able to get the most credit card openings. Honestly NO ONE really wants a credit card, especially a store one. I know VS also has their Angel cards or whatever (I go there with my gf occasionally) it's just super annoying. I probably would've also stayed in retail for a while longer if it hadn't been for stupid business "tactics" like that

[@MsPinkLaugh]

I used to work at Marshalls too and I know exactly what you mean!!! But I gave 0 fucks and sold 0 credit cards lol

[@PaulThul96]

+MsPinkLaugh hahah i feel you! I could honestly care less too. LIKE PLEASE FIRE ME. lmao

[@PaulThul96]

+Shamique Etienne EXACTLY! It's like what Clancy said in her video, like you kind of feel guilty and you almost feel like you're doing something wrong. And say you do get the customer to open a credit card or whatever, you want to be like OMFG please DON'T do this 😂 it's a fcking joke tbh. But you can't say that /:

[@omgitskrysten]

Nordstrom Rack is the same. There's a white board in the back where everyone can see how many credit cards you've opened and the percentages of how many email receipts you sent (they don't want you to print receipts for customers). It's ridiculous.

[@JanJan4Infinity]

That's interesting, the Marshalls in Canada or Winners where I used to work at doesn't have a store credit card but we have a loyalty card. And same thing with the tracking record in the breakeroom, except it was for C.I.P.

[@melaniebaker9798]

I used to work at VS too and I felt the same way. The sales pressure was disgusting and you were basically told to harass people until they bought. They would constantly tell us that if someone left without a bag, we failed! HORRIBLE! Also, they also tried to make us pray on women for lack of breasts and sell them the bombshell or a push up to make them fell like a "woman". Gross! So glad I left!

[@jordanwalker5532]

I work in retail and I feel the exact same way! It should never be a competition of how much each worker sells. I wish it would be a little bit more geared towards integrity and helping people when they genuinely need assistance and not feeling like you have to shove options down their throat. So glad I read this experience and can relate!

[@MrsBellaCullen17]

[@Weedybiscuit420]

I loath this company. I use to love shopping there. When I had my child 2 years ago, I was shopping for a non nursing bra for a date night with my partner, and was nursing my 4 month old. She was in a wrap and couldn’t even see anything, but was told to leave because it was making shoppers uncomfortable. Like what?! You are surrounded by breasts and don’t like someone using them for what they are meant for? Them asking me to leave for feeding my child and their products are still tested on animals.

[@rrkq3833]

Jennifer No Vaxx lol I love you threw in the “animal testing” as if that bothered you prior to he breast situation. Girl shut up you don’t care they test on animals lol

[@jordynalyssa7601]

My aunt works at the American Girl Store and the moms are literally crazy. One wanted to return her doll because she said it was possessed😂

[@imElainee]

We had this conversation in English class, and came up with the idea that everyone should have experience in working in retail, like if everyone did, we wouldn't have those crazy customers!

[@corinnehall8348]

everything you said is true!! yesss girl, I know your pain. That is why i left retail, I hated lying to people and dealing with people who were so obsessed with cheap fashion/ materialism

[@Sagemirei]

$10 an hour seems pretty nice! My two first jobs, one at a retirement community and the other as a cashier was $7 an hour.

[@anastasiamariediaries]

I really love your personality! And I know what you mean when you said your co-workers weren't like you. I notice that a lot when I work with a bunch of people at once and sometimes I feel like I don't click with people that well, but it's hard to put my finger on why. Also, before you even said that you hated selling things you didn't like.. I was thinking the exact same thing when I pictured myself working in retail! I could never force things upon people just to make sales.

[@jillianm697]

AHHHHH!!! I love your channel

[@justinewhite-hadley3138]

[@sobarzostephany45]

The title says " Working at Victoria's Secret | My Experience " which means she talks about it from HER point of view. Also, there is no point like what ? What do you mean straight to the point it's a job like any other job 💁🏽 and if she wasn't kind and funny or gave details in her description , it would make it really boring to watch.

If I work a day of 10 hours I get two 15 minute breaks what do you mean 5 hours equals half and hour AND two 15 minute ones?!

[@Mirandathekittengaming]

+DrawnUniverse 5+ hours (not just 5=___ it includes longer shifts) you get a lunch most likely (half hour) and two 15's depending on how many hours. I work 9 hours and can get either an hour OR half hour lunch (my choice) and two 15's during the whole day. Obviously if you work 5 hours you aren't going to take a lunch and then 2 breaks in that short amount of time.

[@carinaoliveira5850]

One word. Aritzia. You've described a ton of what I felt working there. Yes there were some nice customers (very few mind you), but most of my experience especially when dealing with management was high stress, all about numbers, stroking peoples egos, and anxiety driven work tactics. The girls were stressed unless they were the top earner and top earners got the best shifts which created more sales....no surprise there as this is not a NEW theory or way for sales to be handled. But now I'm in a REAL sales role which is more about humanity, customer service and listening to peoples needs rather than pushing them into a behaviour or ideal which wasn't theirs to begin with. NEVER AGAIN Aritzia!

I totally agree with you on the sales and everything else. Omg, I hated going up to people and asking them, “Hi! Welcome! What are you shopping for today? How can I help you?” Because as a shopper, i don’t like to be bothered. Usually I have an idea of what I’m trying to buy and I remember my store manager used to push that on us.

[@MEGALOULOU92]

wow I wouldn't want to work somewhere where they tell me/force me to say a product is good when it's not.

[@_tialipovsek]

+beautybyk sorry to dissapoint you, it's like that in every store,that's what retail is,every store is pushing forward their brand or their most popular (not neccesary most sellable product)it's up to you as a seller or customer how will you take it, just a sad reality really.

[@MEGALOULOU92]

+Tia Lipovsek wow that is some messed up crap

[@_tialipovsek]

+beautybyk yep,pretty much,i work in retail and belive me if u have some human logic you treat customers as u want to be treated,not pushing every product in their hands, and at the same time being very careful your manager doesn't caught you;D it is stressful and very little people can handle it. I wish we would be paid more for what we doing but in my country this job is actually one of the less paid. sucks.

[@riyanadkarni1076]

But isnt that just retail in general?

[@swagurmom87]

Once I went to Aeropostale and was looking at their rollerball perfumes and the lady working there told me not to get it be have e rollerball smells completely different and awful compared to the normal perfume aha

[@luz5636]

Aw I feel bad I sometimes forget their names when they ask who helped me out, but I'll really try to remember now ! I'd also be stressed

[@winstonchaychel]

What I don't understand is WHY some are taught to measure for bra size the way they do (ex: they measure under the armpit above the bust, but I've NEVER seen anyone wear a bra upside down before). Then all these weird "subtract 2, 3, blah blah" ... No, girl, you're making it much more complicated for yourself. When I started handmaking garments is when I learned the proper way. Chest-underbust= cup size, A=1, B=2, C=3, etc for your guideline, and your underbust IS your band size (32D means 32" underbust with a 4" difference between the underbust and actual bust). Of course this is just a guide since companies vary but it's boobs and not rocket science, so let's not try to make it complicated.

[@BreNichols94]

I feel that way all the time. I hate selling products that I don't believe in but I just applied for another retail job....THIS TIME, I made sure that I liked what they were selling and that I would wear the clothes myself so that I can sell them with pride and meet my sales goals. I just took the whole process of choosing which store I wanted more seriously so that I could succeed as well as help other people in the best way I can. I won't have to lie to people anymore :)

[@NicoSoup83]

Omg, finally someone who knows what its like. I hated that it was always about the money/sales, Wish It was truely about helping customers. Definitely taught me a lot working at VS

[@SkullDirtChica]

Hey 👋 I'm a new subscriber. You're pretty cool. I like how real you are. I can totally relate with retail and feeling morally disgusted with pushing ppl to spend money they probably don't have, on products they don't need. If they (company) want to motivate you (to upsell), commission helps. But it also creates an awkward relationship with the customer. Takes caring about what they need out, and puts sort of aggressiveness toward their pocket book between you. I think ppl who have less empathy are better sales ppl. Anyway, don't be shy to say how you really feel! Keep doin you..and I hope you enjoyed my little rant! 😁

@@ClancyBurkeX Hello my name is Patrick an artist with autism. I send messages to others about wrong doings. the messages are not intended to upset or offend anyone. so here is a list of really bad known scams. Publishers Clearing House, Lottery, Make Money At Home Programs, On Line Paying Surveys, Adult Chat Lines, Pawn Brokers, Loan Sharks, Tic Toc, Gambling On Line Casino Games, Fake Lying IRS Phone Messages, Some On Line Dating Web Sites, no matter what they offer never do business with any of these. In the nineties two con artists got caught selling lies to people. Kevin Trudo that author of the free money books. and the other is Cleo the television psychic with a crystal ball and those taro cards. In life former mayor of Providence Buddy Cianci had stollen money from businesses. his criminal actions put ninety nine percent of state workers out of jobs permanently. and he should have gone to prison for his crimes. SJW groups and the Democratic political party want to put limits on freedom in this country. both of these groups are behaving disrespectful towards everyone. these groups will even turn on their own best friends. and humanity will not allow restrictions to be put on freedom everyone enjoys. South Africa and Florida always look so peaceful and quiet. both places each have these things in common with each other. Gang Violence, Killings, Health Problems, Deaths, Robberies, authorities are not doing anything to prevent these things from happening to people. yet they are fast at writing out parking tickets. Pharmacy companies enjoy keeping customers on this merry go round of prescription medications for life. so they can continue making billions of dollars every day. same thing with tobacco companies they are also shallow and do not care about people's health. the only thing which matters to them is making money selling cancer products. my poor mother died of cancer and I really miss her a lot. this happened to a very good friend of mine. he found out hackers were using his credit card information to shop online. so quickly he cancelled his credit card in order to prevent himself from getting bankrupted. credit cards need to have privacy protection so this never happens to anyone.

[@mayyygennn]

I'm a manager at VS & $10 an hour is a company wide starting out pay. No matter the state you're in. The SPAH is actually very important because it shows who your strong sellers are and the sales associates actually get a certain percentage of the amount they sale at the end of every month. I absolutely love working at VS

[@Rachel-cj2km]

True! I also felt like I was almost doing something wrong when I worked in retail! I also had something similar to SPA and it scared you into overselling things to people who didn't need them...totally turned me off from retail jobs

[@supremethunder1015]

When you said how you'd feel guilty about selling customers things they dont need I resonated with that so well. Sometimes at work I sell things to people who are clueless or have no idea and seem to just say yes to anything, and it makes me feel suuuper guilty going home for the day. They're always watching our numbers and if we dont sell too well, its just...you risk losing your job. I wish it were different lmao

You hate retail, you should try fast food...

Retail.. Fast Food.. Public service They all suck. Working from home is the way to go!

[@OpinionatedBeach]

I worked for VS for 3 years and had managers who would get mad for wanting to take an hour break for 9 hour shifts (the law basically). I've never ever had two 15's in one day, even when working well beyond 6 hours.

[@zerimarramirez]

OMG girl I feel you, like really. I worked for VS for 2 years (Puerto Rico) and I HATED IT! I saw myself in everything you said, it was hilarious, I was laughing the whole video. Thanks for that and sorry for your horrible experience.

[@Mister_Soyuz_on_YT]

I am a Dishwasher and love hearing stories from other job titles, especially in retail. I can somewhat relate to your experience on folding mismatched clothes in closing time. I would have to throw away trash and put bag for morning dishwashers. I closed too and left like an hour later than my off-shift time. Anywho, cool and interesting story.

[@jmp3479]

Holyy shitttt i rmr this video long ago and then i recently picked up on your anchor vids recently AND YOU THE SAME GIRL IM SHOOOK

[@brett8460]

Lmao, I knew I recognized her name from somewhere. I remember this video showing up in my recommendations like two years ago.

[@MrJennyad]

i just started working there , can't believe how stressful it is bc they hired me and threw me on the floor and idk what the fuck I'm doing and what I'm selling and this one girl was bossing me around and she wasn't even the boss , its frustrating yeah their hours suck

[@jessolimore1]

I worked in Retail twice and I know exactly how you feel. I hate the guilt for selling something I don't believe in.

[@rsloveeeee]

I had a very similar experience working at victoria's secret! worked there right after freshman year ended in the summer of 2013, then I also worked there during winter break cause they needed extra hands and i needed the money. it was super stressful, not fun (but my favorite was cash wrap!). i remember, like you the very first day they threw me on the floor in the front room and had me greet customers - of course that's were everyone comes in with their questions and I was just like .... uh i know zilch about the product haha. I learned eventually, but no one ever bothered to say: hey this is the Very Sexy and it differs from the Bombshell because XYZ. the worst was when i was working during the holidays (super busy time, endless lines and non-stop moving) and some guy bought a bra - i asked him if he wanted a gift box and he said yes, so i put the folded box in the bag. Then he said, aren't you going to wrap it? and I said of course i can wrap it. Folded it in tissue paper and placed it in the box. Five minutes later i get my manager on the headset saying she wants to talk to me. The guy complained about me and said i was very unprofessional and rude. It literally ruined my entire day, I felt so ashamed! I felt so bad because i didn't know i was coming across like that, and i was so embarassed that my manager had to talk to me about it (probably not a big deal but i always HATED getting reprimanded, even in high school when the teacher would say "stop talking!") Anyways, it was a good learning experience, but definitely not a fun one. We also got a TON of shrink at my store since it was a big downtown location. Also such a weird situation and very difficult to handle! i probably did 2 shrink returns a day and each time i had to walk this line between letting them get away with it and making it difficult/uncomfortable for them to do so

[@lovebugmarie5041]

[@krishuncarlos1497]

my sister works at victorious secret and she says its always the 13-15 year old girls that come in w/o parents 💀💀

[@Chikadulce10]

I worked at Claire’s and it is definitely not as busy as Victoria’s Secret which actually made it harder. The days where it did get a bit busier it was hard to keep up because you were busy with one customer then some other one came in and ended up buying like $100 worth of merch. Meanwhile the person I was helping only left with one or two items or none at all and said they’d be back later. You devote your time trying to convince people that the item they’re interested in is perfect for what they need it for and that they really should consider buying it. It’s all just a big risk because in the end you can’t force anyone. But then your co-worker is helping the other person who has three kids and buys them everything they yell for. We had to reach a certain target by the end of our temporary period of working there which was about two months. I was honestly happy when it was all over. I didn’t reach my target and I realized that retail just isn’t for me because I can’t stand being scolded for not selling enough when it’s not something entirely in my control.

[@DolphinAngel-bs8mq]

Great video! I work at Bath and Body Works and I'm surprised to hear how slimier it is. However, I've always been really honest with the customers. Never said "I don't like this" but "I would prefer this more." It works a lot better then selling them a product you don't like. And if you don't know something you can usually go up to a manager or another worker and ask it's okay to not know!

[@juancarlossotobarrera3092]

I can't leave this video without telling show beautiful I found you

[@emilykristine7366]

My experience working at VS. 10 dollars an hour, 30 percent off at VS, BBW, Limited, and another store we didn't have. Free bras, panties, perfumes, ETC. No on call. My coworkers were my family, I LOVED them. Back stock and panty bar was the spawn of Satan, as were shipment mornings when you have to come in at 3:00 am. Floor sets were the bomb, it would be a big potluck and we'd wear PJS. As far as feeling bad for selling to customers, you were doing it wrong. You tell the customer about the sales, ask them what you can help them find and then build a wardrobe for them. It's ultimately their decision to buy the matching panty when maybe they just came in for a bra.

[@vienna15]

Lucky, we got some free stuff but then they started charging us for sets. Perfumes were smaller, but no on calls how?! Ohhhh inventory was terrriible lol

[@daniellebroatch7534]

I can relate to that hard core! SPA SUCKED! I had a $700 beauty sale once and the lady didn't remember my name but remembered the one girl who sold her a single panty. I honestly ended up quitting because I would get yelled at for my SPA every day!

[@aquidaschannel7981]

At my Victoria secret me and my mom went in and we didn't get asked if we needed help to find anything, and I saw these two other ladies get asked, and then they paid and got tissue paper on their bags and it was all nice and neat, and when we paid they didn't even bother to put tissue paper in our bags, I was confused, I was like we got the same size bag so idk, I, not trying to make a big deal of the tissue paper but the fact that they didn't bother to help or w/e was rude. I saw the look in my mom kind of looked sad, like she felt maybe the sales associate was racist, and it hurt me to see her that way, I just tried to smile in get her not to feel like she was pointed out because of race/color, and told her that maybe they were busy and left,

[@marceydoyle]

Tissue paper is used for panties and bras only. They don't use it for everything. Although, very surprised not one person asked you if you needed help.

[@katiechang8806]

This was SUPER eyeopening!!!!

[@sarahwales6276]

I cannot believe how low the minimum wage is the US is, that's insane. 30% staff discount is not cool, it''s generally 40 to 50% in Australia, we also don't have call ins.

How do you not have call ins? So no one ever gets sick in your country either, lol okay sure.

[@danielav3597]

I subscribed to you after watching this video, I like how honest you were and I completely agree with the whole SPA thing and not feeling so great at the end of the day.
