For those that don't know I work at a shoe store. I've been there for twoyears and I could give a super long list of pet peeves but I won't so here are the main ones. I'm hoping that some of you will read these and stop doing these things if you are guilty.


Customers who constantly walk back and forth by the door with shoes in their hand making the alarm go off every single freakin time!!!

Customers who walk in the store which only has 5 ailes and asks where are the childrens shoes? men's shoes? CAN I GET YOU TO LOOK FIRST!

Customers who walkin the store and pick up a display shoe and ask DO YOU HAVE THIS IN MY SIZE? First of all I don't know what size you wear just by looking at your feet and second CAN I GET YOU TO LOOK FIRST!

customers who ignorantly switch tags on the boxes trying to get over on us. PEOPLE COME ON!! If the shoe is $24.99 there is no way on God's green earth that the shoe is going to be on sale for $7.99!!

when a customer KNOWS that they don't have enough money on their credit card and stand there asking me to try it again after it's declined.

when a customer walk in the store which has HUGE sales signs outside the store, in the store windwos, haning in the store once you walk in, and tags on the boxes and then asks WHAT KIND OF SALE DO YOU HAVE GOING ON?

When people constantly ask you is this on sale? If it's on sales it will have a tag on it LIKE THE OTHER SALE ITEMS
.

when people call our store for the phone number to another store. CAN I GET YOU TO LOOK IN THE PHONE BOOK FIRST!!

my biggest pet peeves of all

when someone calls the store and wants to know do you have a shoe in a certain size, then wants to know how much it is, then wants you to pull it from the shelf for them, then askes you about two or three other shoes. CAN I GET YOU TO COME IN AND LOOK AROUND. This is not shop by phone incorporated.

People we close at 9:00 not 9:05 not 9:07 but 9:00 p.m.!1 We have always closed at 9:00 p.m. so please stop coming in the store at 8:55 trying to shop. we are ready to go home. if you are in the store and you see us cleaning mirrors and sweeping the floor and straigtning the aisles that is your cue to GET OUT!

AND FINALLY, if you should make it to the store and find that the door is locked. do not knock on the window and ask what time we close, it is posted on the door. Do not beg us to open the door becuase you came all the way from BFE and you have to have a pair of shoes for tomorrow. I really don't care. If it was that important that you would have done it ahead of time. Furthermore, WALMART, my friend is open 24 hours!!!

HAPPY SHOPPING!!
