The lights in the rooms are not just simple switches on and off, but rather a very high tech touchpad system that required a password to access.
This proved to be a problem throughout the week when I had to apologize to customers, because I did not know how to turn the lights on in any room, nevertheless I was very embarrassed.

So, when wearing a red shirt, I got yelled at by another manager for not wearing black or white and she asked “weren’t you told what colors to wear”? I was also never shown the audio-visual room, where all the microphones and microphone cords are housed as well as other important cords and devices.
