  • Customers wearing too little clothing?

    Curious if any other areas in the world get this..
    Australia is a rather laid back country, especially when it comes to going shopping in malls and the like.. most people will wear what they consider acceptable at home. However during the summer months (our climate here in Perth is similar to SoCal.. long, hot, dry summers in the 90s and 100s) it does bother me a bit when we get male customers in nothing more then a pair of shorts.. and in some extreme cases, nothing more then a pair of boxer shorts.

    The coast is about 5 miles away, so they can't say they just came back from the beach. I don't really care or mention it ever when serving because its reasonably commonplace, but it still makes me wonder if any other areas encounter this reasonably often where a customer will just come in with little more then a pair of shorts walking around in flip-flops and nothing else. Too lazy? Most days its certainly not too hot to do this (the mall has a/c ffs, and so do most peoples cars), so it stumps me what is the cause apart from just having no care of it.

    It's surprising to me how many grown people don't feel the need to wear knickers or brassieres under clothes when they try them on. It's especially frustrating to try to fit them, because a bra is going to change the look entirely.

    Trust me, "the girls" aren't that firm, or that perky. It will make a difference.

    And it's just kind of icky to think about sewing something when the purchaser has made a point of not wearing underwear.

      my "girls" are but I still make it a point if I'm trying on clothing to wear under garments of some sort(I normally wear tank tops rather than a bra, small enough so I can get away with it), and if I'm not I don't try on clothes-that's unsanitary as all get out.

        I don't miss that about working at the gas station. Way too many shirtless overweight and hairy men, and too many women wearing daisy dukes and bikini tops that shouldn't have.........good thing I wasn't usually eating.

        It was really nice last weekend, 40s and whatnot.....and the fashion criminals were starting out another year of misdemeanors and felonies of fashion.

          Wow, I would LOVE that. (I am female, though)

          Well, pretty much all of my customer service experience took place at amusement parks, so there was definetly no shortage of people wandering around in tiny little booty shorts and bathing suits. But then again it was pretty much the norm.

          I personally don't care what anyone wears (or doesn't wear). Last summer my co-workers made a game out of making fun of the clothing of people walking by, but really I have a million other things to worry or care about besides what people have on. And please, give me a guy walking around wearing nothing but a pair of shorts...please...

          The only bad part about being surrounded by so many scantily clad people was the feeling of torture at having to be stuck in such a heavy, downright dorky bright ass uniform. It was like being at a disadvantage.

            Yeah except that the only guys that do that are usually so large you want to burn your eyes out after seeing it. Not nearly enough of the nice looking ones do it.

              We have a public swimming pool nearby. The shirtless men are countered by the bikini babes.

                At least they have shorts on. These are probably the same men that come to my pool with their trusty speedo-Whose elastic gave up out of terror long ago. Add a few small holes in the posterior area, and you have the reason that lifeguards look tense sometimes when they are out on deck. :P

                There is a certain age when a Speedo becomes a Speedon't.

                  Personally I think that unless you are a competitive swimmer/diver, and currently involved in said activity, a Speedo is always a Speedon't.

                      The ones that always amazed me were the teenage girls who would come in wearing next to nothing, and they were with their parents!! I remember one girl who was in the store with her family. She couldn't have been more than 14 years old. She was wearing a semi-transparent white top that was so tight it looked to be painted on. And to top it off, she wasn't wearing a bra. I swear you could make out everything!

                      What is in the heads of these parents??

                        My supermarket has a policy that shirts must always be worn, and also shoes. Cuz there can be glass crumbs on the floor, even after a cleaner's been and gone; however the shirt issue is to spare the eyes of the cashiers. XD Summer before last, this gorgeously toned young guy came in shirtless; and was allowed in. However, hairy backed men wearing string vests are prohibited, as are muffin topped women wearing bikini tops.

                            I live in Jersey, we are known for ERRATIC weather. Winters in the low teens, three digit summers. But I don't care how hot it is...


                            WEAR CLOTHES.


                            I'm sorry, I don't care about your gender. But a T-Shirt isn't gonna sway the balance to heat exhaustion. And news flash, it's 2008...Most places have AC. Maybe it's just the atmosphere of where I worked, Radio Shack, Game Stop, Toys R' Us... They weren't laid back or anything, these are businesses... Flip Flops I'm fine with I guess, as long as you have some form of footwear... And Boxers are underwear I'm sorry...Put some shorts on.

                            Maybe it's something as feeling cheated out. I'm a big guy... Hell I'm FAT, and therefor would be in that "Oh god keep your shirt on" group... Even though AS a large guy I would be prone to developing a higher body heat than some skinny guy!

                            If I can take it you can too bub!
