This shit used to hurt me so much. Now when I go shopping I don’t even touch shit unless I know I want it lol cus I know that pain

i’m that person you see folding something and putting it back after i’ve looked at it lol

^^^ And if I can’t fold it back perfectly they’re gonna at least see that I tried.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^

All.of.this

Worked in retail almost half a decade, and let me tell y'all this is daily, not just Black Friday or summer sales.

I’ve had people look me straight in the eyes while they knock over a perfectly folded stack of shirts off a table so they could put down their Starbucks cup. People leave food, drinks, diapers, used pads and bandages, even one time an actual syringe on tables.

I’ve had people destroy entire displays and complain about how dirty and “why don’t employees respect their own store” while I was directly next to them frantically trying to fix what they, themselves, just messed up.

This shit is so ingrained in me now that I fixed displays while on vacation in Disney World for a full half hour.

And before anyone says anything, no, actually picking up after grown adults that should know better, it actually isn’t my job to clean up after you all day. We have customer service, check for product, work the registers, keep the bathrooms clean, deal with angry customers, try to prevent shop lifting, and keep the store running. Recovery (fixing displays) is supposed to be low on our list because people aren’t supposed to be selfish shitheads. If you wouldn’t destroy your friend’s house, don’t destroy retail shops.

I’ve literally had people ask me if I work at several stores before because I’m cleaning up after myself??? like they are asking me for help and I’m like “idk I don’t work here” then they are like “then why are you cleaning?”

(Ex)-retailers habitually making messy stuff neat is so true.

I go to stores for grocery shopping and I still move things around to their correct places just because it’s both habit and the workers just need some nice things

Please be considerate of retail workers this holiday season.

i literally worked retail for one week during seasonal and lemme tell you it’s a retail worker’s job to -fix up displays- yes. for example, I would clean up dressing rooms. but for some reason people loved to think it meant I should then be able to pick up a -mountain- of clotges blocking tge door of a dressing room, crawl under doors to unlock them because their kids thought locking doors and then crawling around was fun. Told by a man to shoe him all items he could buy with a 30 dollar gift card (WITHOUT ANY MONEY OUT OF POCKET OR LEFT ON THE CARD LIKE THATS POSSIBLE) AND look through all wallets with him till he found one he liked when I was -supposed- to be cleaning up the sweater display that looked like it combusted. Not to mention the joy that is cleaning up the juniors section that looked like a hurricane came through and had a return desk with so many racks around it that I and my coworkers ended up tripping over everything.

and then some mother had the GALL to tell me how it was annoying we didnt have all items on their size appropriate racks when at this point we didnt have any hangers because other customers had broken to took them.
