Paulette sure got a lot of packages at work!


What do you think she kept ordering? :-D


Forgive me for not leaping for joy, bad back, you know.

Obviously, she was ordering hair products. Many stylists rent their booths and are responsible for providing their own hair products (hair spray, gel, hair color, etc) and equipment (hair brushes, hair dryer, flat iron, etc). So yes, I would expect a busy stylist to be ordering products fairly frequently.

reply

Yeah, that probably is common sense. Your post comes off a little jerky, though. :-/ I rarely ever go to a hair salon for a haircut (and I'm a female), and got a manicure once in my life, so I'm not a huge expert.

That post was jerky becaise they said obviously? It was obvious. It was a post answering your question.

I wouldn't say "jerky", but the reply definitely ignored the pleasantness of the OP's invitation to share ideas. The OP's justified in being a little peeved at the tone of the response.

Thank you Rex! 😊

Why would Paulette (a manicurist) be ordering hair products?

Obviously, she would order nail products. Smartypants.

Perhaps she wasn't solely a manicurist. Some people who do maicures/pedicures also do hair, makeup, etc. It all depends on the salon. I have seen some who do the whole shebang and some who only work in one area of the salon.

reply

Yea some people do hair and nails, but in THIS film Paulette is presented to us as a manicurist. It's never implied or shown that she also does hair. Sure she COULD be doing both because in real life lots of people do, but there's no reason to reach that far and think she does in the case of this movie.

I always thought she just ordered random *beep* so she could see him. At my job we have the same FedEx guy com about 90% of the time.

Yeah, I did too. I figured she was just ordering any little thing so that she could have a chance to see him, even though she couldn't gather the courage to actually talk to him.

reply

She could have done hair and nails. Just because we only see her doing Elle's nails, doesn't mean she has to only be a manicurist.

reply

So, how do you know Paulette was accepting parcels for the beauty shop? Maybe she was a Shopping Queen on EBay.

reply

Oops!

reply

She was probably ordering beauty products as well as any kinds of random stuff, just so she could see the UPS guy.

This is my signature.

UPS guy!

reply

That's right! Thanks!

This is my signature.

Obviously I have no idea. But I used to make deliveries to hair and nail salons.
Perhaps Paulette had everyone in the salon put her name as the recipient as a favor.

reply

I like the idea that everyone had all their packages sent through Paulette. What a nice group effort among co-workers so Paulette could see her man. 😄

I can't even believe I didn't think of the fact that she was getting nail products delivered! But then if I did we wouldn't have these additional maybe stories.

Let's come up with some others ... maybe she was moving all her stuff from her old place with her ex to a new place and got it delivered there instead. Or maybe she had to get it delivered there because she was crashing in the back. (Just kidding)
