It’s very enjoyable to help them select pieces to remind them of their visit to Sparkling Hill or assist them with purchases of swim wear or other clothing selections. Sometimes its just listening to their stories. Other duties are to help in the organizing and cleanliness of the gift shop. Overall try my best to make the customers stay enjoyable, and contribute to the functions of the gift shop.

5. What is something special that you have done to “wow” a guest/ make a guest’s day?
The lady that was really stuck in an unfortunate spot with no dress for the gala I lent her a dress as she was pretty much the same size as me. She was a little hesitant as she wasn’t sure what it would look like, I assured her she would look like a Hollywood movie star. When she got it she was thrilled and really looked and felt amazing. She wanted to pay me for it, but I just told her to pay it forward sometime to another person who would need help.
