Our store in the Oakridge Mall is very small. There’s not much room to move, and I’m constantly having to squish between other employees and the counter. The mall isn’t as busy as Metrotown, where I’m used to working, but the people who do buy things seem to be buying higher end products and are less interested in trying to haggle about prices. This probably has a lot to do with the location of the mall and the fact that at Oakridge our store isn’t beside a dollar store.

I like Oakridge, though I’m thinking I’ll be glad when my time here ends. There’s no trouble parking, unlike at Metrotown where despite parking in designated employee parking areas (which change constantly) I keep getting tow-away warnings threatening to impound my car which is one of the reasons I tend to take the Skytrain there.
