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

Saycool ANY public place... veh good, glad you added that bit.

OP you're precious! did you say this was your first post - great choice of subject.

In my job I regularly get shouted at by members of the public, people seem to feel they have a God given right to be rude to me and to bully me because I work in local government and therefore it follows I MUST be a lazy, workshy tea drinker who wouldn't know pressure if it slapped me about with a wet kipper.

Clearly, I like all other public sector workers am lower than dirt on your shoe and therefore I have no right to be treated with respect.

But you know what I don't do my job because of the people with shit attitudes, I do it because 1) I have a mortgage to pay 2) The job needs doing 3) I have the skills to do it.

If I had the figure and looks skills to be a supermodel I'd do that, but I don't.

FFS, if OP can't come on and have a legitimate rant on an anonymous forum, where can she?

She's polite to customers, and does do her job.

Are none of us allowed to complain about our job and, SIOB, doing things in our job description?

I bloody hate filing. It's part of my job. I still hate it and complain about it all the time.

I can understand why customers with babies etc have other priorities, that's fine, just understand that an apology and a smile goes a long way. I'm more than happy to help if you're polite to me in return. I also am a human being

Where do people put the clothes after they have tried them on, if not back on the hanger?

yanbu OP. kthxbai.

@ the customer who deliberately turns everything inside out

Spear away.

They leave them in the changing room or more commonly hand me a big crumpled pile of clothes and have left the hangers in the fitting room

IT IS YOUR JOB!!! STOP WHINING!!

sardine - Give OP a crumpled pile of shite and the hangers -say 'crack on and hang it up minion ' with a sneer.

You may be a human being but you speak of others with no respect which may be why some treat you with none - just saying, karma and the like.

So when people try clothes on rather than hanging them up again while they get dressed again they put them on the floor? Or dump them on the "chair" (if there is one).

I'm a bit shocked [proper upbringing emoticon]

Wtf how long does it take to put something back on the hanger? You try it on hang it back up , how hard is that ( apart from those coat hangers that Noone can use) how precious are some of you to think it is someone else's job to put clothes back on hangers for you.

Can you imagen how long it would take if everyone did that, some people are just bloody rude

Exactly

I cant help noticing despite my saying I have done this job, you have ignored my posts!

Do you all have maids ar home who pick up clothes that you can't be bothered to hang up or do you only do it in shops with clothes you don't own

yabu

Whilst I personally would be sure to hang things up myself because I feel it is polite to do so, I am neither contractually nor legally obliged to do this.

If your company has made no provision for rehanging and tidying clothes, and it is in no-one's job description, what do you suggest should happen to them?

Your customers have no obligation to you, rather you to them instead. Fine to wish privately that every customer behaved helpfully, fine to internally think "you inconsiderate oaf", but not fine to actually demand they follow your hanging protocols. You actually ask your customers to put clothes back on the hangers - what would you do if they refused?!

bloody hell.................

YABU It is your job, sucks to be you but there you go

Yes YABU.

You are a shop assistant.

Assist.

to be fair I tend to be polite to anyone I'm dealing with, I don't tend to 'drape' clothes about and I tend to treat people like people.

But I'm a bit narked by your use of the phrase 'To expect you all not to be such lazy bitches' that's a bit assumptive.

You're kind of starting assuming we're ALL doing it - gives the impression that you expect us all to behave in a way that is going to inconvenience you.

I'm of the opinion that in my job, I ought to give people chance to behave in a shitty way before judging them.

YABU to call us all lazy bitches.

YANBU to be pissed of with rude people at your place of work.

YABU All jobs have bad bits. Suck it up. If I've got a handful of clothes and something slips off a hanger, I drape it rather than leave it on the floor. I thought that was helping!

where do you work OP? I'll come in and wreck the displays.

On the fence here.

On the one hand, we don't expect people to pick up our mess anywhere else, why should shops be any different. It's only polite.

On the other hand

1. If I've got limited time to spend shopping, I suspect the shops themselves (not the staff but the owners) would rather I spend my time actually looking at the clothes and trying them on/buying them, instead of folding and hanging. They'd rather pay shop staff to do that and have me spend longer looking at things I might actually buy.

1. If everyone picked up after themselves, a whole load of shop staff would be made redundant especially in H&M which always looks like a warzone.

It's your job

I am polite, I say please and thank you, I would never leave clothes dumped on the dressing room floor but I don't rehang things in the way that you would like: I don't do all the buttons up or even always the zip.

If I am purchasing something, especially if it is more than one something it will be placed on the cash desk pretty much how it came off me. If you then refuse to fold it you're bloody right you will get a cats arse face.

I am guessing you work in primark, which is another reason never to set foot in the store.

I've worked in retail too but I lost any sympathy I might have had for you OP with your charmless heading calling all of us lazy bitches. There's letting off steam and there's unnecessary, over comprehensive rudeness. Enough to put me off buying from whatever high street store it is you work at.

When I was younger and childless carefree, I was always fastidious about rehanging etc. Now I get about 15-30 child-free minutes to select and chuck on a whole load of clothes, find something that doesn't highlight my heffalumpishness, purchase that and hope not to repeat for four months.

So sorry, not with you on this. I would never be intentionally rude but I don't have the time to do your job for you.
