Sandy's Stuff for Women

I own a woman's clothing and accessories store in Toledo, OH. We have 3300 sq. ft. of both new and resale items. We specialize in maternity items (the largest selection in the area) and women's size clothing (the largest selection in a resale shop in the area. RESALE ROCKS!

Do you have to do something regularly that you just hate? Almost daily, I have to tell someone that I won't be accepting an item (or many items) of clothing that they've brought in to consign. It's no problem if it's because there's a stain or a missing button, but otherwise it can be quite traumatic for some women. Clothing choice is quite personal for many of us, so maybe my unwillingness to accept an item is taken personally also. Do you ever have to do something in your job that you just don't want to do?

    The most uncomfortable thing I ever had to do for work was to fire someone who worked for me. She was a nice person but just couldn't do the job and I had let it go on too long. While it was traumatic for both of us, I used a phrase that someone taught me even longer ago to start the conversation. It is, "I have made a decision." It tells the person right up front what you are thinking so they are not sitting there wondering what is going to happen.
