Yesterday we had rewards night at the store. That is when we invite customers that spend a certain amount of money with us to the store after hours and offer them more points on their credit cards while we serve them hors d’oeuvres and various alcoholic drinks throughout the night. I think the underlined purpose is to get the customers drunk so that they will spend more money. A friend of mine spent the night dodging one customer who had one to many cosmopolitans and way too much food on his plate. He kept telling her about his job working for a Washington DC Bankruptcy firm with a piece of lettuce hanging out of his mouth, all the while shoving more food in. and then there were two guys sitting watching the game on one of the televisions in our departments for the whole night. They were actually entertaining sitting there while their wives shopped and brought the various food items. It kept us awake for the most part because the traffic was relatively slow for an event that had over five hundred rsvps. I guess it was more so for the women and the guys went along for the ride and free food. I am not sure I blame them either, food, drink, and a baseball game, what more do you need?
