skybytch 259 #1 December 22, 2003 Oh joy. Seventy two long sleeve tshirts arrived today. Only 57 left to fold. Not to mention refolding the ones that customers took off the shelf, looked at, then haphazardly tossed back on whichever shelf was closest to them at the time. I intensely dislike folding tshirts. I gotta get us a flip n fold or three. Either that or hire me a cabana boy/tshirt folder. Hm. Half naked cabana boy in the back folding tshirts in between bringing me frozen girlie drinks with umbrellas and massaging my poor tired shoulders (sore from carrying the weight of the world, y'know). Yeah. I kinda like that idea. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jfields 0 #3 December 22, 2003 The Flip n Fold is probably cheaper. Cabana boys are probably expensive to maintain. Of course, you do work in a gear shop, so you might be able to work something out. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jayruss 0 #6 December 22, 2003 oh lisa I know how you feel!! when I worked in retail I'd watch the people unfold the shirts then just throw them back in the ben. I finally got to the point where I'd say nasty comments behind their backs. let me know if you get that cabana boy, cool side note, I was there when they picked the cabana boy for cabana boy rum __________________________________________________ "Beware how you take away hope from another human being." -Oliver Wendell Holmes Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
happythoughts 0 #7 December 22, 2003 There is a company that makes really cheap t-shirt folding machines. A lot of places use them. I forget the name, but they make parachute packing machines, so you may know who I mean. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lolie 0 #8 December 22, 2003 QuoteHalf naked cabana boy in the back folding tshirts That reminds me of a time I went to Old Navy with a friend--there were some really good-looking guys at the front that folded the clothes to put them into the bags. Somehow they were hotter just because they were folding clothes. -Miranda you shall above all things be glad and young / For if you're young,whatever life you wear it will become you;and if you are glad / whatever's living will yourself become.

GravityGirl 0 #9 December 22, 2003 Don't worry. After the first 100,000 you get really quick at it. I love folding laundry at home now, 'cause it takes about 2 seconds. My husband laughs at the way I fold all his shirts so the logo shows. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jfields 0 #12 December 22, 2003 Quotebut for some reason people buy more if they're nicely folded. They buy even more if they are modeled on otherwise naked women. Helps us. You get lots of sales. You get your cabana boy, and he doesn't even have to waste time folding shirts. Am I a helpful problem solver, or what? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So, you'd be a bum if there wasn't economy involved?

tigra 0 #14 December 22, 2003 That reminds me of the woman we had running our gear store for about 2 seasons. She would have one of each T shirt displayed, usually on a hangar, and everything else was folded on the shelves behind her, all in order by size and style. We weren't "allowed" to go digging through the folded shirts to find our size! She would go balastic when customers would unfold her neatly folded shirts! She'd do everything she could to protect her pile of folded shirts!I kind of miss her! maura Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Half naked cabana boy in the back folding tshirts in between bringing me frozen girlie drinks with umbrellas and massaging my poor tired shoulders (sore from carrying the weight of the world, y'know). Yeah. I kinda like that idea. Dear Ms. SkyBytch, I am responding to your add requesting the services of a half-naked t-shirt folding Cabana Boy. I have many references that will vouch that I've worked in the retail and hospitality industry for many years and I am fully trained in retail t-shirt folding as well as drink-making. Furthermore, I have recently graduated with honors from Bob's School of Male Submissiveness with a degree in walking around half-naked (majored in top, minored in bottom). I belive that my skill will fully meet your needs. Please compose a letter to the US Department of Immigration stating that you require my skills and that no American can adequately fulfill your needs as an employer. By the tone of the responses in this forum, they should believe it. Once I get my green card, I will be more than happy to fold your t-shirts, bring you girly drinks, offer you massages and give you a daily full-monty lap dance in exchange for a meager hourly wage, a few jump tickets and a place to park my trailer. Please let me know. Sincerely Marz. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
