A typical day in the clothing department at Wawollie might look like this: 

You will arrive at Wawollie at 9:30. You will have a quick chat with your colleagues and enjoy a cup of coffee (or tea) together. The warehouse will have bags of newly arrived clothing in it. You will get started and sort the clothing by size and saleability. You find a pair of rugged boots and a vintage jacket. In your head, you're already thinking that these two deserve a nice place in the shop. With a rack full of clothing, accessories and shoes, you wander into the shop. You find a place for everything in the clothing department and the boots and vintage jacket are displayed in a good position. 

At 11:30, it's time to take a short break. With your colleague, you discuss your weekend and what's going on in your life at the moment. Then you head back into the shop to check whether everything is neat and tidy and still on the hangers. A lady asks you to help her find a jacket (which is handy, because you've just seen a very nice one) and you also give her a tip about some boots which would go well with it. 

At 1:30, you have a longer break and listen to the stories of your colleagues. After the break, you carry on sorting clothing and displaying things in the shop. At 16:00, you take another short break and enjoy a drink. You quickly sweep the floor around the clothing, tidy up the shoes and another day is over. Soon it will be 18:00, and that means it's time to go to your bicycle or car, ready to head home. Once again, you've helped a lot of customers and enjoyed catching up with your colleagues.
