...try on like 5 shirts, unbutton them, then give them to the fitting room lady to put up if you don't like any?

...give your clothes and money to a friend in line just after they paid for their stuff so that you don't have to stand in line?

that's all i can think of right now. ask your own!

No, it's (part of) her job to take care of that.

Yes, that's really no different from cutting in line, and you're screwing over the people who'll have to wait longer because of it.

I've had this happen to me. I don't take the clothes. I just tell them to put it on the register table. Then I just walk away.

Ever have someone take a dump in the fitting room?

Probably the worst thing I've seen.

This topic is now about the worst thing that has ever been done to, or in, a fitting room.

I've heard of that happening before, never seen though (than goodness). Have seen clothes in the fitting room get pissed on.

best thing that ever happen was a hot chick asked me to pull up her dress zipper in the fitting room. I got to touch her back of her bra.
 
Generally speaking, if you have to wonder whether or not something is a dick move, it's probably a dick move.

of course that doesn't mean you should or shouldn't do it, that's all circumstantial
 
im asking seriously about the putting the clothes back thing :(

i dont mind but i dont know whether or not that's preferred. sometimes the clothes have plastic protectors for the collars on them and whatever and i cant put that crap back on it. i guess i should do it whenever i can put it back as was, right?

does it matter if i hang it back up unbuttoned?

Well if we're feeling lazy yeah, but generally we'd have a lot of returns to put back on the racks anyhow sooo in the long run it doesn't matter too much. it's slightly more annoying for someone to try on a bunch of clothes, leave them there, and have no one check the fitting rooms for a while and people who go in think it's cool to leave their shit that they try on there eventually having it all pile up. holiday seasons were insane.

thank god i don't work in retail anymore.
 
Yes to both.

On one, lots of people like to use the excuse that they are paid to do it. Which is true, but it also gives them more work. Now 20 people giving them 6 shirts each, while asking for questions, bitching about why they don't have their size, complaining how they can't find anything and the store is a mess, etc. It's similar to being a waiter. Once you've been on the other side, the people who normally do that and make excuses turn out to be assholes. You'll also hold up the fitting room for other customers too.

On two, did you like line cutters when you were 5? I highly doubt that has changed.
 
1. No. I've worked in retail and it always annoyed me when my co-workers would bitch about stuff like this. Our entire job revolves around putting clothes on shelves or racks. Shut the fuck up, put the clothes back, or find a new job.

2. Yes.

3. Worst retail store incident I ever witnessed was someone having a heart attack in the jerk off booth in the porn store below us. Luckily it wasn't my job to deal with it. Worst I ever had to deal with was just the occasional used condom in the champagne room that I'd have to sweep up.
 
In line for something like a sneak preview of a movie. Someone knows some other people they just noticed walking past to go to the back of the line and instead they invite them to join them near the front of the line so they can chat.

I've been on all sides of this situation and I feel bad every time.

Oh, how I wish I still have your strip club thread subscribed. Stupid bans remove them and I'm not sure you ever updated.

People shitting in the dressing rooms: What the fuck is wrong with people? Did your mother never tell you to have the common courtesy to at least shit outside to where people don't have to deal with the smell? :|

It could be worse. Nothing like blood and a used tampon on the ground.

Yes. It was a little kid too.

Still, it wasn't as bad as the little old lady that took off her very worn-out maxi pad and shoved it in our pile of stuffed animals.

Oh, Disney Store, I don't miss you.

haha yeah I don't know if I have that thread bookmarked on this computer either. I haven't updated it in a very very very long time though. I keep telling myself to save anything new for an actual book but I am such a lazy fucking asshole.

So the question I ask is: What video did this person have a heart attack to?
 
1. no. There are much worse things you could do. That's a relatively normal thing to have to do. In retail, there are typically only a few things that annoy me:

-Leaving a food item that can spoil out in the middle of the store, or worse yet hiding it behind other items. I don't mind picking stuff up and putting it away, but when someone just wastes perfectly good food because they can't be bothered to put it back, or at least ASK someone working there to put it back.

-When people bring things up to my register and leave them in weird spots instead of just telling me they don't want it. This one doesn't bother me as much since it gives me something to do between customers though.

-Complaining about how the price of something is cheaper at another store. This only bothers me because I don't set the prices and can't change it, so telling me amounts to nothing more than small talk at best. I usually just say something to the effect of "You don't say?" or a more canned "I'm sorry to hear that sir/ma'am, but I don't set the prices." This is one of the only things I consider a dick move in retail. Other than you know, saying rude crap.

lol I never thought to ask, but considering some of the fucked up shit they had for selection, I can only imagine.

I can't speak for a clothing store really, but I worked in a Best Buy and from my experience even the people who mean the best by putting things back just get it totally wrong. I would rather they just left it for me to put away. I imagine with clothing stores this is much worse since there are ways things need to be folded and/or hung back up before they get put on the rack, or a certain order to the sizes that may not be immediately apparent to someone else.
 
Is it a dick move to not return a shopping trolley (or shopping cart) to the trolley rack in the car park?

I seem to be one of the only people who do it, but there is nothing more annoying than having to get out of your car to move a trolley that's blocking a parking space. I know there are people earning a living from doing it, but every time one of trolley collectors see me doing it I get a thanks from them.

I do understand a single parent with a child not doing it.

As a bookstore employee, I sort of feel the same way. With people who stand in front of the bookshelf to browse, they could put it back right where they plucked a book off, and most of the time, there'd be multiple copies of that book they took, so it's not like they really have to do work.

But for other times, I'm cool if they just put it on one of our kiosks. A few people are nice enough to hand me a book and they genuinely don't know where it goes back to.

I'm with you on that one. I make the effort to put the cart back to the trolley area in the parking lot.

Worst case scenario is your cart could dent someone's car if you left it alone.

Yeah, wind can pick up and smash them into cars. My old car had 3 dents in it from assholes who couldn't bother walking 20 feet to take their cart over to the cart holders.

ya the cart pushers appreciate you returning the carts to the car corrals. their job at walmart isnt just to push carts either but to clean up the store, do carry outs etc.

and the carts in the corral have to be put up in the story anyway, so their job isnt done when the carts are put back there.

theres also a sign above our corrals that asks customers to bring em back

YES. I have to get carts, and it is so fucking annoying when people leave them all over the parking lot. Even worse is at my store it's on a hill in front of the left side, a lot of people leave them on the guard rail here which makes it 10x harder to push them all up. People leave them sitting in the middle of the parking lot and I've seen more than a few end up moving from the spot right when they turn around, they just let it go off and hit a car.

There's a lot of ignorant shit you see at grocery stores. I've had a lot of people just stand there talking, blocking all the rows of carts, so I just make the line behind them if they act that oblivious. And like mentioned above, seeing people set stuff like meat behind a bunch of cereal boxes...if you don't want it and are too lazy to take it back, don't fucking HIDE it, just ask someone to put it back.
 
It is a dick move to...

Make a mess with your condiments and leftover food on all of your plates and cups and table at a restaurant. Working in the back of a kitchen, I would see plates covered and cups filled with giant mountains of salt/pepper/food/ketchup/mustard

the question is: should you tip her?
 
The first one is definitely okay, but I'd never let you take very many shirts into the fitting room to begin with.

Yes, this is a big dick move.

Not only is it an inconvenience for people driving in the lot, but if it's a windy day or the parking lot is on a hill, carts can roll into parked cars. I always park my car strategically (far away from the building and near those islands with a curb) to protect it from rogue carts.

I have seen people carelessly just throw their carts into the parking lot not caring what it hits and just drive off. Makes me furious
 
I don't think I'd HAND it to a woman who may or may not want to deal with it that second.

There's shirts that have weird shit on them. Plastic things and what not. I leave that and the shirt in the fitting room.

Sometimes I don't remember where stuff went that doesn't crap on them.

Sometimes I do remember and take it back if I'm getting a different size.
 
Both are OK, Do shops really want people who suck at folding or putting things back in the wrong places, the answer is no.

Second one is a sorty dicky, depends on the people behind your friend, are they easy going or stuck up fools.

Yeah, I worked at a Supermarket and while it sometimes could be someone's job for an hour or so, frequently the front end was understaffed and had to have people from other departments go out and do the carts.

I sort of enjoyed doing them because I didn't have to deal with the customers, but it was a bit of a pain in the summer. Winter wasn't too bad unless it was significantly below freezing, but in the summer you could just never stop sweating
