I was on what number of jobs now? Biz-x, Top Search, STVA, Banquet serving, Cascade, Walk-in-Bathtub, Claims R US, 3- day job-Prominence, Defi and now Furniture Direct Buy.
Eleven Jobs. But who’s counting?
Direct Buy, is a Membership buying service. Headquartered in Merrillville, Indiana. It claims that this is the largest Franchiser of Members-Only consumer buying centers in North America. Members pay a significant fee. Which then entitles them to buy Merchandise ”Directly from the Manufacturer.” And its autorized suppliers.”
My newest job at Furniture Direct Buy. Is as a position as a Telemarketer. This one worked, from 1pm to 9pm with a Dinner break.
That was good, as it gave me, Banquet serving hours in the morning.
We each had our own Cubicle in a Call Room. For the first three months of training you get minimum wage. With the promise of increased pay in the 4th month.
We were to call people that had received our Post Card. And a chance to Win the Golden Key!
If they came inside Furniture Buy, and tried on the Key, that is attached to their letter, they could win a Prize, if the Key fits the Lock!!!
There was one-worker. Carol. I tried really hard not to stare. However, it didn’t seem to bother her that her tattooed eyebrows, looked like a black tire track. That missed the corner of her eye and landed in a heap on the other side of her forehead??
I felt sorry for her. I tried to keep my eyes. Just on her eyes. But, she didn’t even notice. Because, she was too busy, shouting commands. Not just me. Everyone. And she had obiviously never heard of Inside Voice.
Carol trained me. And then, at breaks, would start the commands:
Did I do this? Or that?
And literally, my ears.
Would be ringing.
