Spot on Evie, QVC presenters are so far up their own arse they can check their own vaneers but yes you’re right, who do these narcissistic shop assistants answer to?
As a shop assistant I rather resent the QVC presenters being mentioned in the same sentence as us.
I my store we have several thousand lines, I am expected to know the entire stock file, and am trained to advise on books and toys for all age groups adult and children, advise on all the art and craft products and am expected to be able to demonstrate every product we sell.
I have to be able to merchandise to a high standard and do in store and window displays.
I have to know the new data protection rules, the consumer laws, the age restrictions on purchasing, and numerous retailing laws.
And of course we have to deal with the public in a professional and courteous manner at all times.
Did you know that as many as 230 retail workers are being assaulted EVERY DAY? :mysmilie_10:
QVC presenters are not fit to lick the shoes of retail staff who work freaking hard for a fraction of the money those jumped up tat peddlers make.
Sorry rant over :mysmilie_11:
I’m sorry SusieSue but that’s exactly what they are, “sales assistants” they try to assist in selling. There are lots of other names they could be called of course, but however, none printable. There are nice polite sales assistants, there are not so nice “store assistants” then there are QVC “sales assistants” they like to class themselves as celebrities (-Z listers) but at the end of the day their job title is “sales assistant”
I agree with you, talking for three hours a day, three times a week is hardly worth a title, and I certainly wouldn’t call it work.
