I know the most about makeup in my store, by far. In fact, I'm really the only one with proper knowledge of it. For godsake, the head beauty advisor wears lipliner on her eyes and bakes so much in the sun that she has leather-face.

I have a lot of regular customers who return to my counter because I am honest. I don't BS them. I have big issues with dishonesty.

The trouble is, is that it isn't even the focus of the so-called "cosmetics" counter. The counter itself is name only. The counter is all "sales" quota and no knowledge. And even then, the district's quotas are unrealistic and unreasonable, especially for a slow store such as mine.
Bahaha lipliner on her eyes? That's HORRIBLE LOL

Yep, we haven't been on our "quota" apparently for years.

And I totally agree with you about dishonesty. If you're not honest, they won't come back! So there's really no point in lying at all.
