RETAIL ETIQUETTE

ok ladies and gents, there are some new rules to retail. being that i work in a clothing store i think i should set somethings straight that alot of customers forget. little things that drive me crazy


  • if you go into the fitting room with 48923478932 items, do not bring them out in a crumpled insideout ball. dont leave the hangers in the fitting room and expect the sales associate to be
    nice. when you take things off, hang them back up. please and thank you
  • when someone is at the door and greets
    you, dont ignore them, it will not hurt to say hello back.
  • if you ask an associate to check something for you,dont get impatient if they take to long and leave, sometimes they have to run down 38947 flights of stairs just to check for that damn ugly wallet you have been searching for.
  • KNOW YOUR SIZE. if you are a 28 waist why try to fit in a pair of cigarette skinnys size 24. i hate when customers give me jeans missing buttons, dresses with broken zippers and shirts that look like they've been worn by 3 people...at once
  • if you ask for an item and we say "i dont think we have it" it means we are tired, and or busy, and dont want to look for the item. it might just be in front of your eyes...this leads to the next
    rule
  • LOOK AROUND before you ask. yes it is our job to help. no that doesnt mean we will shop for you.
  • if you drop something pick it up. if something is folded, refolded it after you look at it. do i go into your home and destroy it
  • dont just try on clothes for fun. at the end of the night we have to put the 238892 clothes you tried on back in their places.
  • dont get mad at me when the clothes dont fit right.
  • do not try and shop in a store 10 mins before its closing. do not frantically destroy neat piles of shirts to see if we have what you want. wait till the next day. trust me we are open 7
    days a week.









    1. thank you. if you follow these ten rules you will make every sales associate life a lot easier

      oh btw i love emely...fin fin fin fin
