    Dear Ross Shoppers (a public service announcement)

    Just a short rant....

    Dear Ross Shoppers,

    The team here at Ross would like to inform you that, while I am sure to YOU your shit really does smell like roses. We REALLY dont want to find out if that is true. So please, do us a favor and SHUT THE FUCKING BATHROOM DOOR!!!!! And will you PLEASE stop trying to flush paper towels down the toilet! I dont understand why you feel so compelled to try this. It doesnt work, it will never work. QUIT IT! Throw them in the trash! Do not let your children use half the roll of toilet paper, just cause they want to be "big kids" and do it themselves. This is not okay. I'm sure you dont let them do it at home. And last. Please wash your hands. I know you probably don't do it at home... but I can hear through that door... I know you didnt wash you hands. And my faith in humanity dies a little more every time you walk out of there and I heard NO sink. it takes 10 seconds. Please.

    To sum up.
    -Wash your hands
    -No "big Kids"
    -Paper towels go in the TRASH
    - SHUT THE GOD DAMNED FRACKING DOOR ALREADY!


    Thank you,
    Your Ross Team

    We solved the paper towel issue by installing one of those hand dryers..

      Hand dryers or some places have either sink/soap/towels or they have a dispenser that dispenses hand sanitizer. The hand dryer scares Child Rum so I always carry a little bottle of hand sanitizer in my purse - in case that's all they have, so her hands are still clean.

        Hand sanitizer is usually one of the many things I stuff into my pockets whenever I go anywhere...

        The BBQ place we used to stop at after a good day at the range (500 .22 rimfire for $18, take that boy scouts!) almost perpetually has a problem with a lack of soap and/or paper towels because so many people overdo it washing their hands after eating, and they are nice enough to provide a large bottle of hand sanitizer for those of us who are willing to wipe the most of it off with a napkin beforehand...

        It works good, IMHO.
        I like things that go *bang!*

            ....Yeah we have a hand dryer.
            No one uses it.... even when we have no paper towels. I put a sign up in the bathroom last time we ran out saying 'Out of paper towels. Please use Hand Dryer"

            Still had people coming out with out washing their hands going "Hey. Did you know you're like, out of paper towels?"


            NOOOOOO. REALLY?! HOLY CRAP!

              I know you like to think your shit don't stink, but lean a little bit closer. See, roses really smell like woo woo woo...yeah, roses really smell like ooh ooh ooh.

                Sorry we no longer provide paper towels due to customers bad behavoir, use the hand dryer it actually works better.

                And we are still trying to figure out why the bathroom is now a public restroom when it wasn't until last year. Its bad enough with just us employees but the public jebus. You have to wonder what they do in their houses, since the damage they do to our restoom their houses must just be a pig stye.

                  Another note to Ross shoppers:

                  You see those pieces of wood and metal stacked on top of eachother with roughly 1ft between them? Those are called shelves. That's where it items for sale are supposed to be, not on the floor.

                  I don't think I've ever been to a Ross that didn't have a ton of merchandise just thrown on the floor by customers. I couldn't walk down the pillow aisle once because of all the crap on the floor.

                    Shhhh. Damn you. I just got it OUT of my head.

                    Oh well, the voices now have company.

                      ah yes... the shelves... Know what is really annoying? Spending 2 hours cleaning, organizing, and colorizing pillows. going on your lunch break. Coming back to a CW telling you "hey some kids just had a pillow fight over in home."

                      luckily my manager saw the aisle BEFORE the little demons got to it..... That day was almost my last straw. ... I almost walked out.

                      We really do try! Its just a never ending battle!

                        I had that happen, where I was cutting through the kids (maybe it was girls) dept. and there was a carpet of clothes, about 1/2 ft thick. I felt so sorry for the people who worked there. Not to mention all the women's clothes off the hangers, underfoot.

                          A friend of mine used to manage a Ross store. The horror stories only get worse at the store management level. In her case, she had a district manager who was ridiculously tight with the payroll purse strings (they had a bare minimum of staff) and still expected the store to be 100% spotless and perfect all the time. This is on top of discovering that customers have used the sales floor as a baby changing station (hiding the soiled diapers on a store shelf), being threatened by customers suspected of shoplifting, and the usual stuff we all fuss about here.

                            I'm glad this store doesn't exist in New York.
