I work in retail,I work 2 jobs so I see it all, my 1st job is in a food warehouse and my 2nd job is at a department store. I see rude people and slobs all day and I know their houses must be trashed by the way they treat the stores and their kids running wild playing tag in the store.
Some people just arnt civilized, if you go to wal mart the parking lot is full of shopping carts that people were to lazy to walk their fat azz to put up so they hit your cars.
I just started a new job at a department store. I work in the shoe department. I can not believe the things people do! Adults act like ape's trying on shoes and just throwing the boxes and shoes all over the place. They let their little ones put on ladies high heel shoe's and stomp and scoot them up and down the Isles.
It is just unbelievable!!!
Just venting.
Okie
oooooh weeeee!
If im rushing I sometimes leave my clothes in the fitting room hanging up (I hate that too)
Sometimes if I pick up something in the grocery store and change my mind I leave it on a shelf (regardless if I got it from that aisle or not but never perishables, I always return milk and meat and other things to the proper refrigerated section)
BUT if I drop something or knock clothes over I always hang them back up properly and if I see something on the floor I pick it up instead of walking over it

even in the rain I return my cart because I hate when spots are "taken" by carts or they hit your car
C'mon... seriously? Saying that your slovenly ways are keeping people employed? That's just ludicrous self-justification for pi$$-poor etiquette. Don't wanna put it back where you found it? Really? Walking 30 feet is just too much? Please, shoppers of America, please grow the hell up.
Rep point for you
I can't believe people are owning up to such laziness, though it's just the entitlement attitude shining through. Jeezus
Having worked at the front end of retail, I swore never again. It's easy to develop a hatred of the human race. I now work in the back-back end of retail - at the corporate office. Tell ya what, companies do not employ extra people to clean up after the lazy butts. Retail profits are so slim, only as many people necessary to do the basic work of retail are hired. You lazyasses who expect the workerbees to trek after you, cleaning up, are just putting more work on those who have more than enough to do. You should be ashamed.
That extra work, and the damage done to merchandise that has to be thrown away or reduced in price, is called "shrink". It's the #1 goal of any retail enterprise to reduce. Believe me, I've been to enough corporate boo-yah pep rallies where chants are lead to emphasize that. It cuts into profits, reduces sales, and actually leads to people being laid off When costs need to be cut, guess which areas are targeted first? I've worked in the print room of the corporate office often enough, and noticed the number of checks being distributed waver between highs and lows, to gauge how well things are going.
So, go right ahead and scatter merchandise for someone else to have to return - or even put in the discard bin. You are only causing prices to be escalated to recover the cost, and maybe even some poor schmoe to lose their job. Jerks

I try to treat shopping like I would if it were my store so I am not a slob. I have raised my kids to put things back, push in chairs, throw away all their trash when eating out and to hold the door for women, elderly or disabled! I am sorry for the ones working in retail how you have to pick up other's messes.
Anybody notice when this thread was started posts were being made of confessions of being a slob until other posts starting coming in slamming people for doing it? Then we sit and wonder why our country has lost it's way when values/manners have been pushed aside.
I straightened up shoes in a shoeshop before. The employee saw it and I told her that I would come back for my "wage" tomorrow. She laughed it off and I left. Next day I came back in, police were called and I was led out. Its because of my disability that I did this and I took the business to court and the business had to compensate me £100 for the insult. Thats almost a weeks worth of money there.

Huh? You mean you purposely did this to be able to sue?
No, I exercised my rights under the Disability Discrimination Act, kinda like Americans and their right to have guns. When it boiled down to it, I realised that I could sue, so I put on my "angst face". They say people with my disability are good at faking, and yes, I have beaten the "box" twice.

no one that worked there asked you to straighten up their shoes, so why should you get paid anything?
I was spotted doing it, but as ya'll know that people with the disability that I have are supposed to be literal in their thinking. So I thought I could use that to be average and it paid off.
