I love my job!

I am very fortunate, I have a HUGE Rolex collection, and the best part is that I didn't have to pay a cent! Bad part... I can't take them home with me. We had several Rolexes come in today some of them include: a S/S GMT Master II w/the red/blue bezel, s/s Sub (no date), s/g Sub in both the Black/Black and Blue/Blue dial/bezel combos and a s/s Sea Dwealler. Man I love my job

I'd love your job too, Val. How often do the salesgirls find you peeking at their cleavages when they are bending over whilst laying out the watches in the display cabinets?

Just kiddin' my friend...I think you should know be by now.

On a more serious note, I think I'd love your job too. Here at Mansor's, they have a very friendly and knowledgeable staff to help the customers. They are all on salary (no commission), but they specialise in their jobs.

Like there are separate sales people to deal with watch customers and another set of sales pesons to deal with the jewellery customers. Is it the same way with you guys?

I think it would be interesting for all of us to have some more details about your work and how it's carried out....not confidential information, naturally....just a generalised account.

Thanks - JJ

We pretty much have to know it all. Diamonds, colored gemstones, pearls, precious metals and of course the time pieces. Right now we carry Tissot, Raymond Weil, Omega, Tag Heuer and of course ROLEX. I've only been at this for about a month and a half. So far so good but there is still so much to learn. If there are any questions that I can answer, please don't hesitate to ask.

Thanks, Val. First and foremost, I'm glad you took my advice and decided to post rather than lurk. This way, you get some feedback from us and we get to learn a thing or two from you. More fun that way, uh?

Wish you all the very best in your new job, Val. I'm sure you'll be a worthy asset to your organisation and employees.

Pssst....who's the best lookin' chick there? Shhhhhh....

O.K., O.K., O.K. Enough with the small talk, lets get right to the more important issues. 1) Exactly where is your store located -- 2) What time does it close -- 3) Are the cops in your town as lazy as they are here. 4) And of course, the most important question, can you leave the back door un-locked?

p.s. I will be needing the safe combination as well.

1) Exactly where is your store located?
We are exactly in the middle of the mall.

2) What time does it close?
At the end of the day.

3) Are the cops in your town as lazy as they are here.?
Sometimes.

4) And of course, the most important question, can you leave the back door un-locked?

We don't have a back door

You're not being very open minded about this, Val,
