The origin of the star lotus world

Text Chapter 1696

Lin Qisheng looked at me with a suppressed smile. I ignored him and let him think whatever he wanted. I'm going to say something else.

"In early October of this year, the author went out for a walk one afternoon. He wanted to get a haircut, buy some things at the mall, and have dinner. He walked to the hairdresser he usually went to, but the hairdresser was closed. The note on the door states that the hairdressing department in the store has been transferred to another barbershop, and members are asked to go to the other store as soon as possible to complete the card transfer procedure and complete the card transfer before the end of the month. The beauty department of that store will operate normally after the holidays. . That shop has been open for more than 20 years. The author got his hair cut there when he was in high school. Although he sometimes went to other shops to get his hair cut, he mainly went to that shop, not to mention a hundred times in total. , almost the same, I have been there many times, it can be said that for more than ten years, I mainly got my hair cut in that shop. Although the shop changed hands many times and changed owners one after another, it has always been in business, and I have a balance of previous memberships. Accepted and retained some old customer groups. This spring, the author once went to that shop to get a haircut and asked about some things. He said that he had been here several times, but why was the shop not open? There was no way to cut hair. The male manager wearing glasses said that they The store has always been open, but the front door has been renovated and renovated again, so the store is not visible. However, it is only temporarily closed during the renovation period, and it is open normally at other times. But when I went to that store several times, there was a paper on the door. The strips either said about store decoration, or they said there were many days off for the New Year and the holidays. Several times I got my hair cut in other shops. If I didn’t have a membership card, I had to pay the original price. The managers or clerks of those shops asked me to get a haircut card. If not, I still want to go to the original store and feel familiar. There are very few people in the store. The male manager did not charge more for the haircut. It is just calculated as a normal haircut. The manager charges more than Regular haircuts are more expensive. After I got my haircut, I went to the service counter to check out. A male shop assistant with a silver bracelet on his hand and a tattoo on his arm said that the price of haircuts in their store has increased and has not increased in many years. , now like many stores, they have raised their prices. He said that your membership card has been downgraded from a 50% off card to a 20% off card. There is still more than 100 yuan in the card balance. Let’s see if you need to apply for a new card? The store is There are discounts on hair-cutting cards. If you recharge as a member, one or two thousand is just a basic recharge. If you only want to cut hair, it is relatively affordable to get a hair-cutting card. I think that store has not raised prices for many years because of the prices many years ago. It’s already on the high side, and it’s never cheap to get a haircut in that shop. Once I took a taxi home from somewhere else, passed by that street, and asked the male driver if he usually gets his hair cut in that shop? He said he couldn’t afford it in that shop. , that shop is more expensive, so I will get my hair cut in a smaller shop. If you get a haircut in that shop, you can go to other shops for several haircuts. I heard the male shop assistant told me that there is a discount for getting a haircut card, so I said to put it in my membership card first. The money was spent, and I will consider applying for a card next time. The card was downgraded, so I can only accept it. Anyway, one consumption was deducted, and there was not much money left in the membership card, so I didn’t say anything. The male clerk was also a hairdresser, and he used to give I have had my hair cut, and it was pretty good. I have worked in the store for many years, and I am one of the key employees of that store. There are only a few people who can work in that store for many years. When I went there again this summer, there was a woman with long hair. At the service desk, I have a little tattoo on my hand. I heard that it was the manager of the store who asked the handsome guy to apply for a hairdressing card. Since he is a very old customer of the store, he has been using the membership card for more than ten years, which is longer than the time he has been working. If you are still using such an old membership card, please give me some care and wash and cut the card for 500 yuan and count it as 300 yuan. But when I paid the money, I was told that no, it would cost 400 yuan. They said that the system did not recognize the recharge of 300 yuan, and the minimum recharge was 400 yuan. After communication, I still recharged 300 yuan. It was not a shuffle card, but a membership card. Recharge the card. The next time I went to that shop to get a haircut, it was normal. I didn’t see the male manager wearing glasses, nor did I see the woman. In that shop, in more than ten years, I have come into contact with dozens of hairdressers and waiters. Some of them work in the shop all year round, and some of them have been seen once or twice and never seen again. It is said that many male hairdressers go back to their hometowns to get married and stop working there. Some of them open barber shops in their hometowns. When the author was in high school, there was a female owner of that store. Before that, there was another owner of that store. Once, after I had my hair cut and dyed, the female boss used conditioner when she was washing my hair, saying it would make it smooth and smooth. When the author was in the third grade of junior high school, that shop already existed. It was a medium to large shop with high charges. At that time, I went to that shop to get a haircut. I heard a male hairdresser with long hair say that a set of professional haircutting tools used in the shop costs several thousand dollars. That shop has been in business for more than 20 years. This is a fact. Later, the owner was changed and there was a middle-aged fat man who often stayed in the store. After that, the store was renovated and reopened during the Olympic Games. The store changed its owner, and there were several male managers one after another, all looking fancy. They were either managers or directors. No matter how big the store was, there were a bunch of managers, and I didn’t know who was the boss. According to the clerk, the store decoration cost hundreds of thousands, and he also said how many chain stores there are. Anyway, it said that a lot of money was invested, and consumers recharged a lot. Some people recharged more than 200,000 yuan, and recharged memberships worth thousands or tens of thousands of yuan at a time. There are many, which can be used for beauty and hairdressing. The hairdressers and clerks in that store change frequently, and only a few employees work in that store regularly. Some hairdressers said they signed a contract with the store, but they didn't see them the next time they went there. I asked about the original ones. Why isn't the barber here? The clerk said that he was going to another store or not doing it anymore. Of course, there were also shifts or temporary work arrangements. There are several male hairdressers that I am familiar with. They have worked in that shop for many years and they all cut well. They are familiar with the hairstyle I want. The fat middle-aged man has been working in the store for the longest time and has also cut my hair. He always says that I have never had such beautiful hair. But that man has cut my hair several times, but I just don’t remember. Maybe I only remember the big patrons. The middle-aged man said he was the director of the store, and some clerks said he was the owner of the store. That man sometimes instructs or helps hairdressers to do hair, and he has quite a lot of professional experience. A few years later, the store changed its name again, but the membership card can still be used, which is okay. I remember that there was a male manager in that store who was very bragging, saying that he started out by selling electronic accessories, then became a hairdresser, won many awards, and did hair styling for many celebrities. He said that some celebrities are really short. If Without packaging, it would not be so beautiful. I said that I have several stores. The manager of that person cuts hair very expensively, but he does have the patience to do it, but he is very vain and thinks he is special because he no longer gives discounts for haircuts. I Just find a regular hairdresser to cut your hair. That man sometimes cut hair for other customers. Not counting the price of the manager's haircut, I gradually stopped seeing him. The man said that there were several shops. Thinking about it carefully, it was not as expensive as he said. Maybe it was. He is good at fooling young people, just treat it as a joke. In many stores, for customers who have just met, a manager or director may cut their hair and settle the bill at the normal haircut price to leave a good impression on the customer. It is best to apply for the card for the first time, but if you come back later, it may be a normal haircut. Haircuts, no more manager-cut deals. "Many stores will focus on the initial impression, but future services are also important and should have corresponding quality and standards.
