i think going with your friend was not a good idea. even if it's seasonal because she probably thinks that you two will talk more to each other rather than work.

also since you got a discount from your friend she probably has a bad vibe. at aritzia workers are not allowed to give their discounts to anyone else (except for like family and friends night). she probably knew what was happeneing because it happens alot there...

-- a bit off topic: my sister use to work at clinique at the bay and she got like 10% anything so i used her card once (she was there and actually paied for the item) and then she got fired because supposably that's stealing. now she works at aritiza (hopefully it's not her bececause she is the type to say that and she is a manager) and she won't even let me use her discount on anything... only on like birthdays or special occasions she will buy me something from there.

i don't know if floor managers are able to make the decision to hire you or not, but they sure do have a say in what they think.they are the floor manager and they are part of running the floor and the sales people.
