The Gap :: Clothing Retail Sales Papers

The GapFormating problemsGAP. Its on every third glass window that covers the front of the store. The windows display large posters and soundbox forms, not mannequins because they dont have heads, hands, or feet. They wear the latest items to arrive in the store, and look impeccable most of the time, because most of the time I dress them. The tiled floor in the midst of the glass doors gives way to a scratched and scuffed hard wood floor in desperate need of a originate and buff. The dust bunnies that seem to breed and quickly distribute themselves until they are under every fixture and on top of every shelf must runner be exterminated. The lighting is a combination of muted fluorescent in the middle with focused spotlights on the items toward the outside of the store. I can catch a whiff of wool, or leather every so often, but usually my nose is polluted with Dream, Heaven, and Blue, constantly sprayed by customers testing it. Just smell the bottle, ok? Music is always pumping out of the speakers from a tape that is sent to us from the corporate office. Sometimes the songs are danceable, sometimes not, but the volume is always clarion enough so that you can listen to it if you get bored, but still hold a conversation over it. Conversations that often times occur between employees themselves. Im not big on the conversing side of it. I listen to the music, thinking about what I really want to be doing objurgate now. Do I want to fold this sweatshirt? Do I want to look for another size? No I want to put my tongue piercing back in and dance around the store busting a move for all the world to see. I cant do that. I have to obey the corporate law because Im on Gap Time. Womens items are on the left side, mens on the right.
