Shoes On Sale
It takes quite a while to check the morning paper and see which stores are offering sales, and which have shoes that you really need for a day at the office. While checking these shoes on sale, you see the item that you want to go buy, and realize that you have wanted it for ages, but wanted to wait for the right time to buy it. Evidently, today is that day, because the shoes on sale!
As friends try to divert your attention from your shoe buying pursuits of the day, they tempt you with talk of morning coffee and donuts. As a seasoned shopper of footwear, you remain focused on the picture in the newspaper that seems to be calling your attention loudly to that special pair of shoes on sale that you absolutely adore.
Buying shoes on sale requires strategy. Getting a seat is the first order of business, while a friend grabs the display model off the sales floor. The smile on the salesperson face is an instant delight to sale weary shoppers who seem to be drifting during the sales pitch. The bargain hunter is giving her full attention, in hopes that the lady will quickly find her sale priced leatherwear quickly before it sells out.
The delightful tone of the salesperson voice bring the friends out of their weary daze long enough to realize that their dream shoe style is inches away, and is delightfully another pair of shoes on sale at this marvelous store today. They patiently wait their turn with the salesperson, gleaming smiles on their face, and conveniently grab their favorite shoe model from the display floor.
After so many tries, at so many places, the group has found their shoe buying Mecca. No longer are they bothered by the horror story places that they visited today. Each and every one simply took away the urge to look at the shoes on sales almost immediately. Other shoe shops that they entered on their bargain hunting expedition provided poor ventilation. That caused an urge to go through them that caused them to bolt to the door.
Another shoe shop had the rank smell of aged mildew growth, that lingered over from a faulty air conditioning unit that was repaired last week. Water damage could be seen behind the row of shoes on sale that you were interested in buying. That store was quickly crossed off the list.
Advice for working in a childrens shoe shop.?
I work in a shoe shop, and im being trained to work on kids. Im finding it hard, not with the children, but some of the mothers are so nasty and blunt. Also the children curl up their toes so i cant fit their shoe on, and i end up having to really push their feet in – ive been told to do this but i dont want to hurt them. Im finding it really confusing working on a childrens section, with the width AND the size..
i think im better on adults so hopefully i will be working on this section more often, but i need to be trained for kids anyway..
Any advice??
Not sure why this is in sociology but anyway as a parent I would never want anyone other then myself fitting a shoe for my child. Especially young children under 10 years old. But that’s just me but still how do you even know the parent wants you to put the shoe on the child, I wouldn’t want you to. The task is hard enough for a parent never mind asking a stranger to work on a kid. I understand that it is a job but I wouldn’t want someone fitting me with a shoe and I am an adult. The whole thing, especially for a child, is just a little too personal and if the parent is there why wouldn’t the parent want to do this, kids shoes have to fit right and a parent usually knows their kids well enough to tell if it fits right. I would say a parent should put the the shoe on the child. The salesperson can do all the other work, help sizing the foot, selling the shoe, getting the various sizes etc….but fitting it onto the child can be left to a the parent, the salesperson could tie it, buckle it…I have actually never considered anything else, do parents really expect you to do that, try not doing it at first and letting the parent have the chance of doing it (only if it doesn’t get you fired of course) and see. But if your boss expects you to or if a customer expects you to then your just stuck and have to do your best, and in that case make sure the shoe for a child is plenty big enough.

online childrens shoe stores?
I am trying to find some boys shoes online in Aus. I can only find baby shoes & crazy expensive designer shoes. Ebay has nothing. There has to be an online shoe shop right? Any ideas?
Does Zappos deliver there? I love them cause my hubs has gigantic feet and its hard to find shoes for him. They will pay a return shipping fee too.

Does your partner already have the swine flu or is she worried about getting it? I would say take early maternity leave as this would create far less stress for her as well as it keeping her out of the crowds and the workplace…
