I always wanted to be a buyer, actually I have been a buyer my whole life I just never got paid for it. I have been buying clothes for all my aunts, cousins and friends for years. i help my friends and family find all kinds of items at great prices: furniture, appliances, you need it, I can find it quick and at a great price. Customer relations is another area I really enjoy. I like to make people comfortable and anticipate their needs. I wish more people were like that, I always remember great customer service; so many companies overlook this "small" detail. I will pay more, travel farther for a company that has knowledgeable, friendly staff. I will also tell my friends about either a happy or upsetting experience, companies forget that people talk.
I have refused to go to one of the giants of retail, although they are cheaper, bigger and usually have everything I can possible need, but checking out is a nightmare, the store is always a mess, and their business practices are appealing, so what if it costs me a few more dollars to go to Target and I have to drive further. it is worth it EVERY TIME.
