your sweet comments!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm really so happy!!!! Thank you really so so so so much!!!!
This gives me a lot of power to continue blogging!!!
♥ ♥ ♥ So since last Thursday i started my job at KariAng
Wow and I have to say it's a lot more complicated to be a
shopstaff than i thought, but at the same time it's also a lot
fun!!!
First thing is that being shop staff is really challenging in
Japan. As i think of the service in clothes or any other shops
in Germany it's suuuuuch a difference!!! Those of you who
have been to Japan know well with what service the customer
"god" is treated in Japan. You really get to feel like a celeb,
especially at KariAng which is aimed at 20-40 women.
Service towards customers is really important because you want
the customer to come again.
---Of course the obligatory "Irrashaimase" (Welcome), and even if
you don't buy anything going out of the shop the customer gets
an "Arigatou gozaimasu" (Thank you so much).
---The keigo (polite Japanese) level is very high as when the
customer comes out of the dressing room you have to say
"otsukaresama de gozaimasu" with a loud voice and of course
in conversation only keigo is allowed
---You have to help the customer with e.g. closing buttons of
jackets for them, helping them go get inside the jacket etc.
----conversation is really a big point as a shopstaff. it's not good if
you don't start a conversation with a customer who even just comes
looking. If she watches or touches some display clothes for a longer
time you have to go there and for example tell something about this
item, about the details, how popular it is, with what other clothes
you can coordinate it and if she wants to try the item on etc.....
Honestly i really have trouble with this point as when I personally
go shopping I find it rather annoying when shopstaff try to involve
me into a conversation just because it's part of their work and just
when looking a little longer at one item. I prefer looking in my
own peace and finding out by myself how to coordinate items.
I really would be interested in your own experience and opinion
with shopping in Japan.
Do you like it when shopstaff involve you into conversation?
Have you had experienced shopstaff that is annoying?
It would be really sooooooo helpful to know your opinions
If you are interested in the place I work of course feel free

The interesting thing is that the KariAng designer Morimoto Yoko was a
former charisma shopstaff from Egoist!!!
