Pam W Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 working in a restaurant if you look around, you'll find lots of neat stuff in the restaurant's kitchen that make great candlemaking equipment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agentelrond Posted January 17, 2006 Author Share Posted January 17, 2006 they might notice if i go walking off with it and my boss not really the friendliest person Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candlebean Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 I love selling stuff at work too...when I first started out, or if I need testers, I like to use some of the girls from work...It helps me out and they get excited to get free stuff, then end up coming back for more. My DH says that I'm like a candle drug dealer - the first one is free to get them hooked! LOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agentelrond Posted January 18, 2006 Author Share Posted January 18, 2006 sounds bout right i took a sample of one of my candles in as he wanted to show his GF and he was like they are so pretty will order some off you for her so i made up all i can describe it as is a multiple choice thing where they pic the shape, FO and colour of the candle and then i do and make it for them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cactusladycandles Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 Same with me. I work in a small factory in Galena, Kansas. Thought I'd sell a few jar candles for fun. Wrong. I am pouring candles around the clock. I tell everyone at work that I just come to work to take candle orders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
