Back to EpisodesThe Confetti Lie, the Spaghetti Incident & Getting Fired From Retail
Description
In this episode Matthew starts things off by admitting he may have lied about the Super Bowl confetti being recycled… so we had to address that immediately. 😂
Then we got into some classic retail stories from our early days:
• The famous Target 10-4 rule (make eye contact at 10 feet, greet at 4 feet) — which Christina admits she has never loved
• The time Christina got fired from an outlet store for not being a good enough greeter when she was younger
• One of Matthew’s first retail jobs where he spilled spaghetti on a customer
Clearly… both of us were destined for retail greatness.
We also talked about:
• Why frozen juice concentrate is disappearing
• What really happens in apparel when you're the sports buyer
• And a few more retail stories you probably won’t hear anywhere else
Retail careers don’t always start perfectly… but sometimes those early disasters turn into the best lessons.
