3/20/20144 hrs.Today was my first day at my new mentorship for my new topic. I was introduce to the store's system of operations to get familiar with the way things run. A few clients came in to pick up, ask for alterations, and ask about the party packages. The store was not very busy, so it was a good day to learn the basics of what I will be doing for the rest of my mentorship. 4 hrs.
