OCD

[gaspode]

Now I know this person may have some some mental issues,but this happend at 10 this morning and I'm still chuckling about it.

We have some CDs,DVds and ps2 game on special offer starting at £1,but they are all in dump bins, mixed together so that people have to rummage through them(it increases sales because people spot other games etc that they fancy) ,this customer came in today and spent 45 minutes sorting through the bins grouping the different discs togther and facing them all forward,then just walked off.The staff on that department had to go and mix them all back up again.

You know, I actually *prefer* those all mixed up. If they're all nicely stacked, you can tell what's on top no problem, but you can't get to what's under, to see if there's anything else.

I do that!!!! I hate the clearance bins with everything just dumped in there. I know why the stores do it, but it just really hits on my OCD nerve. I will find myself sorting and stacking them as I rummage.

Meh, I don't do that, but one of my few OCDs does involve CDs, in those CD furnitures that are just shelves with rails to separate the discs, the discs usually end up with one corner propped over one of the rails, leaving it inclined. as I browse I can't help but straighten all the inclined CDs in the shelf.

Actually, back when I was with GameStore, they made US sort them alphabetically. Fortunately, our managers were bright enough to know that the walls were more important than the bins, and gave the dump bins such low priority that they only got done once every couple of weeks. Took about an hour each, tho >_<
