yes that's right I work as an engineer for a toy company, and to put us more in touch with our customers they setup this deal where we go and work for a day in the toy department of a local retailer. I guess I'll be stocking shelves and stuff. should be interesting.
update: it wasn't too bad. we worked at Walmart from about 10-1 stocking shelves. normally there's a "planogram" that dictates what products go where but that kind of goes out the window in the holiday season, so we just brought up all of our stuff that we could find. one old guy asked me where he could find batteries and I was like "I don't know, I don't even work here!"
then we drove across town to do the same at a Toys R Us. I thought it was pretty weird that not one time did an employee ask wtf the 5 of us were doing. I guess now that I know where the stockrooms are I can just go in there any time I want 😉
on the plus side I learned that one of my co-workers husband is an F16 mechanic at a nearby ANG base and he's gonna hook me up with a visit 😀
