I submitted this story as a Retail Robin but I'm blogging it here too, when RR posts it I will reblog it here. So, as you guys know I work at a gift/card shop. We have a MAJOR ornament event coming up over the weekend. It's huge, we've been working on it for months. I happen to be in charge of it. Thursday we started putting together the cardboard displays, which will be up from now until shortly after Christmas. I got the back panels put together and another associate put some of the front pieces together (the pieces that actually hold the ornaments). We had all but the middle section done, and were looking for the pieces when we realized we didn't have them. We looked everywhere. One of my co workers and I even looked in the dumpster. Nothing. Hopefully they'll be sent this week since the event is THIS SATURDAY. And the really popular ornaments happen to go on that section of the display. Remember when I mentioned I'm in charge of the ornaments? I feel like if I paid attention when I started going through boxes on Thursday I would have noticed we were missing some. The display looks horrible and I know we probably won't get the panels. I feel like I let the store down. I'm really upset about it. I swore I saw them but then after I looked at the picture I realized I didn't see them. They probably think I'm crazy or something. I hope this doesn't affect my promotion.
