fluffers and floppers



at the store,we divide ourselves up into 2 groups...the fluffers and the floppers.....the floppers are the ones who move the big furniture in and out and to the back and from the back and help rearrange....and unload the trucks...and take the cabinets from the paint shop to the cupboard barn....etc etc......
the fluffers are the ones who figure out where stuff goes and make it pretty after it gets there.....and fill it up right....and fix the walls...
if something ever looks real bad you can bet a flopper got roped into fluffing..... or maybe something sold and isnt off the floor yet...but unloaded and in an aisle...

i go both ways...i can still carry most of it , but mostly i fluff ....and try and find room for everything and still have it look pretty good....luckily our customers can stand a little mess....they dont expect perfection....we get lots and lots in every week so it keeps us hopping.....
imho,the fluffers have great respect for the floppers but the floppers dont usually appreciate the fluffers.....

we never quite get it all done ...but we try!!!!!
i believe the great designers cant actually tell you how they do it....
