Check-out line Demos

So, this is a new twist in Demos. The check-out line Demos. I think they are stupid. But, I can see how the home office thinks they will work.

The problem we have always had in Demos is......people will pick up your product.....then go to the next aisle & drop it off. And, long lines of people in front of your table waiting for a sample.......people actually shopping could not get through.

Here's the idea........You are up front near the check-out lanes.......Product on top of & under your table........you walk from line to line with a tray of samples, asking people if they would like a bag or box.......they are already in line....so they Have to buy it.

So far, I've done two.......Chex Mix & Beef Jerky.

The first time I did this I cheated a little........I went & got a mat to stand on by my table. You are suppose to do this Demo without a mat.......because you are not suppose to be standing at your table. My Boss found out.......& made me do another one. (sigh) The second one I did........I was determined to do it the right way. By the end of the day I was limping..........& when I got home my left ankle was so swollen.......I couldn't get my sock off. But, by golly ! I did it ! And, did it right.

Another new Demo.......is the team Events. I did one of those too. It was called "Lunchtime for about $1.00." Gees ! Me & another lady made turkey & cheese sandwiches, with mixed fruit cups & Chips Ahoy cookies. Talk about an eating frenzy...OMG ! People were completely missing the point of that Demo.........they kept asking if the Lunch came in a "Kit". NO ! If you add up the cost of 2 slices of bread......1 piece of cheese & turkey......a fruit cup.....& 2 cookies.......it comes to "About a $1.00" I'm wondering if most people take "Stupid pills" before they come into the store ?????? I also wonder if the home office is trying to just think up new ways to kill us off ??

I've had people ask me...."Why don't you just quit ?" Well, with the way things are these days.......I just count myself Lucky to even have a job. So, I go into work when I'm suppose to.....& sort of keep my head down. Then come here to my Blog & rant & rave.

And, right now I've got to get ready to go down to the Dinning room to help with Lunch. Now, that I don't mind doing. Here's today's Menu : Sliced Turkey

Mashed potatoes

Cranberry orange relish
