aibu to expect you all to not be such lazy bitches?

[somedayma]

by 'you all' I mean anyone who shops in the high street store in which i work. which is probably quite a few of you. If you pick something up from a rail in the shop, DON'T DRAPE IT OVER THE RAIL INSTEAD OF PUTTING IT BACK WHERE YOU GOT IT. if you insist on trying on the full allocation of garments, don't you dare hand me a big crumpled pile of fabric and a fistful of hangers and expect me to rehang it for you. YOU HAVE HANDS. If you bring things to the cash desk inside out, don't tut and give me dirty looks when I scan and fold them inside out. and do not dump a pile of clothes on the cash desk, and as I pick up each item to scan, say "hmm I don't want that one actually", leaving it for me to rehang and retag and put back on the shop floor.

K THX

YANBU of course people should do those things.

If I can't get something back on the hanger I apologise to the assistant when leaving the fitting rooms. I thought it was normal to put stuff back on the hanger, I would feel really rude just handing the stuff and the hangers back for the assistant to do. They aren't my servant

Don't people hang stuff back up after they've tried on the item, so as not to get them all scrumpled up?

If i try lots of clothes on in a changing room I think its the assistants job to hang the clothes back up outside. I will not go round the shop rehanging them. And the one time an assistant refused to take my clothes and told me to rehang them I hung them all together on the nearest rack.

And YABVU to use the insult "bitch"

YANBU OP. I get paranoid in shops about making sure I'm polite and put things back where they went after I spent 9 months volunteering in a charity shop that was, at most, 10ft wide yet people still had trouble putting clothes back on one of four rails attached to the two available walls. Is it really that bloody difficult?!

However I have, on occasion, handed bras back without rehanging them as I can never get them on the hanger properly

On the other hand, people are hired to tidy up after the customers no doubt, so in that way, YABU.

Do you have to use the word 'bitches'?

bless.
what annoyed me more, is when a child takes a book off the shelf, and the parent takes it back and puts it somewhere completely random. If you don't know where the child got it from, give it to me! I'm not hard to find, and it makes my life a lot easier!!

Bitches, pigs - wow - you're a treat eh!?! Career change and anger management - HTH

I normally do re-hang stuff myself... but.... YABU - if you're manning the changing rooms then it really is part of the job to put stuff back on the hanger properly - with the best will in the world some of my re-hangings haven't been tremendously professional (especially trousers.. you need to be some kind of origami expert to get them back on sometimes)

Just like it's some poor assistants job in Gap to sit there with that little board re-folding jumpers all day.

At this point in the thread I would like to just tell you that in Antwerp the shoppers are expected to put all the clothes back on the rails in the shop from whence they took them in first place - the shop assistant is not and will not take the clothes from you.

So don't shop in Antwerp fro clothes if you don't like putting things away

I understand where you are coming from OP and I feel for you having to put up with complete lack of manners from the public! I have been there, done that, and draped the t-shirt over the rail

I found a used condom in a changing room once :(

I was just grateful that I didn't work in Benetton in the early 90's. All that fucking folding

OP, I feel for you.

It doesn't take long working in customer service to discover that there are a lot of lazy, thoughtless, rude customers out there. And 99 times out of 100 the customer is wrong.

I'm a bit unclear about the hanging thing, though - do you mean replacing the clothes on the hangers, or replacing garment and hanger on the rail in the shop where it came from? The first, surely, is so basic that no-one should need telling, and customers who are too lazy, entitled and demanding to do this shouldn't be surprised to be made unwelcome. Putting things back on the shop floor, I thought was part of the fitting room attendant's role - please correct me if I'm wrong, and I'll never do it again.

I shop online for clothes. Just saying.

If you worked for me OP I'd shoot your arse into next week for being so fucking precious that you display such an absolutlely ridiculous 'its not in my job description' attitude.

at taking a dump in a dressing room.

In ANY public place (other than a public toilet, obv)

Maybe the person really really wanted the clothes they were trying on, couldn't afford them and didn't want anyone else to have them so "marked" them.

I think some of you are misunderstanding and thinking i'm a snarling bitch when customers annoy me. Incorrect. I'm as sweet as can be, to nice customers and nasty customers- all get treated the same as THAT'S why I'm good at my job. You'll not get ripped apart til I'm in the staff room later, when we all compare PITA customers.

btw, rehanging clothes after you've tried em
On isn't my job. I'm allowed to say "could you just put those back on the hangers for me please?". I have learned now it's sometimes easier to do it myself cos occasionally I get someone who deliberately hangs them all inside out. They weren't inside out when she brought them out. This is the sorta petty twat all assistants hate. All of us. You won't know it from how we speak to you or react to yr childish behaviour but trust me, in our heads you're being speared and fed to wolves.

I collect clothes from around the shop, take them to the fitting room, try them on and re-hang them afterwards. I then hand unwanted items to the staff as I leave the fitting rooms. Who on earth would EVER say "don;t worry, Ill wander round and hang these all up in the proper places for you"???

It annoys me when places look like a jumble, but also when everything is folded in a way in which you dont even want to breathe on it, and the staff stand perfectly still as there is NOTHING for them to do until someone unfolds a precious item.

somedayma - on a completely separate issue, it's not wolves. It's wolefs.

:o

FWIW YANBU to post a thread like this on MN. If people are allowed to post poo threads, and masturbation threads, and pirate sex threads, then I think a legitimate rant when you're pissed off is fine.

Welcome to MN! With a beginning like this, you'll be sure to fit in.

By rehanging I mean putting the clothes back on the hanger,
I def don't expect them to be placed back on the floor stand, that IS my job

I am actually a very polite shopper, but if you are not supposed to rehang/retag clothes etc, what exactly is your job?

Sorry, I don't mean to be rude, I just don't understand.

well if that's what you need to do to get thru the day spear away. It is other human beings you're talking about though. Still makes you sound like a nasty peice of work to me - all over a few hangers!

Oh I've just seen what you meant by rehang them.

With a 1 year old in the changing room with me on a very very rare excursion to a shop, there is no chance that I'm going to carefully hang this back on the hanger while he screams, sorry.

Completely agree with DoMeDon (have always liked your name btw!)
