Retail Pt 2

As you read earlier, I used to work in retail for many years. If you've worked in that industry you'll know what I'm talking about. In my current employment situation, the same thing's happen, but no where near as crazy.
The Head / Home office visit!

So the district / regional / area manager or some other type of 'suit' is coming to your store to check it out.  I never got excited about this very much and here is why..

Store cleanliness -  The people that pay the bill's are the people that come in everyday or so, the regulars as it were. Is your place clean and welcoming? It should be because those are the people that really count. Your establishment should be clean for them, not the guy that stops by once a year. If you feel it's good enough for your everyday customers, then it should be good enough for the 'suit'.
It always drove me bonkers the managers that would bring in extra staff and run around cleaning every nook & cranny just for this person. Suits don't pay the bills!!

My retail rant, next time 'Customers'  hahahaha

Image Making - The Boys & Girls Club of Saskatoon are holding their 32ND Annual Sask. artists show and sale on November 13 & 14th.   This will be held at the Western Development Museum in Saskatoon. The show is open 10:30AM -8:00PM on the 13th and 11:00 AM to 4:00 PM on the 14th, located in the Saskatchewan Hall. I will have 3 images for sale and the club gets 50% of the sale price of my prints. Its a great cause and I hope to raise some money for them, please stop by to see some fantastic artists work.

Janet and I will also have a display @ The Center Mall , Jade Gallery from Nov. 23rd to Jan 2. I hope you can all stop and have a look and even order a print for Christmas. (Toys cost money!!)

Other stuff -  Each time I write, I'm going to try and include a site, podcast or blog that I have come across that I enjoy and think that you may too. Whether it has to do with photography, Halloween or the matting rituals of Pheasants, if it's interesting, I'll pass it along.


I got an email form a co-worker telling me to check Clark's site out. WOW, WOW and then I said WOW 40 more times. It always amazes me what lengths photogs will go to get that shot. (I know, I (with Henry James) have put myself in some crazy places) These are fantastic, take some time and watch the video as well.

So that's all for now, have a great few days and remember comments are always welcome. Don't forget to check out my 'flickr' feed at the bottom of the blog as well.

Thanks
