The scoop of closing.
Today and tomorrow I am working. Why? Because I have no life.. Lol 8-) . Not really. I have a little life but since Monday is Valentines day and I do work in a chocolate store therefore they need me to work (not alone.. thank God). So the scoop with the store closing is that its not the company wanting to close us, it’s the mall management. Since our lease is up, we only pay then around $500-ish for the rent so in order for the mall to profit they have the power to kick us out and sell our space to other retailers like KFC, Taco Bell etc. They would be charging the rent of $800-ish. Thats why the mall wants us outta here. The company (us) is trying to keep us in here and they are trying to make a deal with the mall management.
At the same time, the mall has this raffle going on and they want certain stores to send out the ballots. We were suppose to sign up for it but we didnt because we’re pretty bitter about the whole kicking out thing. So when they realized that we didnt sign up, the mall management went to us and just gave us the ballots to give out to people. Apparently they signed up for us…. :sowhat: That is pure hypocrisy. Why would they want us to promote some stupid ass contest yet at the same time try to get us out of here?! Does anybody else see this picture?!!!:irked:
Another thing is they want to fix the mall so that it doesnt look like a “flea market” yet they want to remove a chocolate store who has a great reputation as one of the best chocolate sellers in Canada and replace it with KFC? The thing is if they have KFC as our replacement, the clothing stores next door will smell like chicken. Wouldnt you rather smell like chocolate than chicken?
Basically after Easter we should be outta here if the deal doesnt cut through. Otherwise, I’ll be looking for another job. :sowhat:
LOL that’s quite unfortunate. I hope it all goes well for you, though! So what did you do for Valentine’s? LOL. I’m staying home cos I got.. well, a GIRL’S PROBLEM (PMS) lol.
That sucks that store is closing… I hope you find a new job soon and you won’t have much “out of work” time… funny, we both work in malls, in stores that sell sugar-loaded sweets. Gotta love it!
that’s no good.. well you know, money can move mountains (lol, i know that’s not the way it goes, but it can easily be replaced with that word).. i think i’d rather my clothes to smeel like chocolate honestly, i’m with you!! screw the mall management @–
lol.. oh my, how i would LOVE to work in a chocoalte store!<3 I can see their point about wanting more money, but I mean seriously ALL malls have to have at least a couple of chocolate stores. Getting rid of the chocolate is seriously a STUPID MOVE! Just look at it like this, however… if you do have to look for a new job, maybe the job you find will be better than the one you left behind?
