Exiting the fitting area, she insisted on speaking to a manager. When he came out to talk to her (at this point all of us were oblivious as to what had happened or why she wanted him), she started cursing at him, screaming that she had been "forced" to use the restroom in our fitting room because our real bathrooms were impossible to locate.
Um, they were about 6 feet down the hall from the dressing rooms with a huge "Ladies' Room" sign pointing the way.

If they asked me to clean that up, i'd have quit on the spot.
I've worked retail for the past 3 years, mostly doing shipment work at nights, and then working more during the holidays. This is the first year i didn't work christmas eve, but that's because i was visiting the fam in south dakota.
I'll never forget my first christmas when some dude asked me the warranty on our boxer shorts, and then proceeded to drop his drawers in the middle of the store to show me that the elastic band was ripping out. that was great.
I also love how customers will ask me about our return policy, and then after i tell them that without a receipt they can only get a mail credit, they demand to speak to my manager, like i'm lying to them or something. Like i benefit somehow by them not being able to return their clothes.
I also love how people will sit there an watch you recover an entire table of shirts, and when you get to the far end, they pick up a shirt, unfold it, and then just toss it back on the table
infuriates me to no end.
I think that everyone should have to work in food service or retail for at least 2 or 3 months of their lives. I've never had such an appreciation for clothing stores as i do know.
