I work at uniqlo. AMA

>>11937972
whats ur job title and how much do u hate urself

>>11937992
A1 associate

I don't hate myself. I was in a bind for money and wanted a job I could acquire immediately instead of interviewin around.

>>11937972
Why do you think working at a cheap fast fashion brand is worthy of an AMA

>>11938003
how competitive was it to get the job ?

Where does uniqlo position itself on the market? What do they consider their immediate competitors?

>>11937972

Which store?

>>11938012
It didn't seem hard, my interview lasted like 7 minutes and it seemed like they had already made their decision to hire me. However I saw a lot of people at the open interview event that apparently didn't make the cut.

>>11938015
They are like the 3rd or 4th clothing retailer behind Zara and h&m. You can feel a direct competition with h&m, but maybe because it's next to my store and people wander in thinking they are at h&m and start asking for stupid shit we don't sell.

>>11938026
Answering this could potentially get me in trouble. I will leave it at I work at a flagship store.

>>11938004
Basics =/= fast fashion. Seeing People calling uniqlo fast fashion is the easiest way to spot people who know nothing.

how much discount do you get for buying their stuff?

>>11938054
>A1 associate
explain this, like what kind of job it is and what it requires etc etc

>>11938054

You're at the new Denver store, aren't you?

>>11938107
Denver isn't a flagship store, is it?

Not OP

>>11938055

30%

>>11938060

A1 is more like a rank than position and it's the first. It goes A(ssociate)1, A2, A3. Then you move into supervisor

>>11938120

Who knows. UNIQLO calls every slightly large store a flagship.

>>11938054

Ayy OP, you're working at Toronto aren't you

>>11938055
30%, but it doesnt apply to promotions
>>11938060
The first level of associate. Less authority and less responsibility. I fuck around and tell everyone I'm a manager tho cuz store culture is too uptight sometimes.
>>11938107
No
>>11938121
Ayy, what store u at? I have a feeling a dude I work with browses mu, but I'm too embarrassed to ask and find out he doesnt.
>>11938145
Close but no

>>11938182

What store do YOU work at? I doubt it's me because nothing I do at work would make me seem like I browse /mu/

Is working there bad, unpleasant etc? I saw someone posting about how working at Zara is awful a while ago.

What are the most worthy cops? I have a turtleneck and cords from the U collection thinking of getting a beige crewneck

>>11937972
As I only use online shop due to no flagship in my area (Germany), how would you rate UQ's customers considering fashion sense? I normally wear Undercover and Ann D, but even myself buy basics at Uniqlo because price/quality is great for what I need from them.

>>11938054
you work at the SF one

Can we use you as proxy to buy Qlo stuff cheaper?

They japanese culture is shoehorned into the company in ridiculously stupid ways, like phrases you are supposed to say to a customer that sound like some japanese guy got from Google translate. Lots of strict rules. The cleanliness of the store is held to an extreme standard which can be a bit exhausting. Some people automatically default to authority and the rules which can make work insufferable at times. Soundtrack is the same everyday. Other than that it's not pretty chill place with a lot of cool workers. I would recommend as long as you aren't a complete goof.
>>11938524
Alrism is nice. Socks and underwear last a long time. Just go for basics.
>>11938537
Lots of clueless foriegners, but i often see customers carrying around hermes shopping bags and I think wtf are you doing here
>>11938538
No
>>11938556
It doesn't work online and they would probably figure me out quickly.

Why did they change the sizes? Everything seems a size smaller now.

Why do my newly bought pants easily shrink now? The one I bought 2-3 years ago still retain their sizes.

>>11938668
>like phrases you are supposed to say to a customer that sound like some japanese guy got from Google translate.
oh god, examples please?

are their slippers really unisize as the websize suggests?

>>11938537
I went to the Denver store yesterday and it was full of dads and gooks. I was intriqued.

>>11937972
what's the best in-store job? The person that stands at the back of the line w/ the pole that says "Line ends here"?

is it easy to steal if you work there?

>>11937972
Quality went down, why?
Best pieces from Uniqlo are premium T-Shirt and Made in Japan denim.

Is it widely-known as the company's strategy among employees?

I also work at Uniqlo

please explain why they redid the sizing and now everything fits fat manlets exclusively.

also why has the quality taken a shit

and do you have any knowledge of what the next collab will be

>>11938691
I think they sized things up for bigger americans but they shrink more easily now.
>>11938911
"Yes, of course"
>>11938935
They should have sizes
>>11939064
Do you mean easy or well payed?
>>11939076
Nope

>>11939103
Next collab will probably be with nintendo
But I knew that before I started working there

>>11938060

its a grading scale, ranking and stuff, the higher you are the higher the pay.

i get 13.50.
