Sir, why am I picking up after your child?

[blas]

I was at the jewelery store a few Fridays ago, getting my ring cleaned, and while I was waiting, I noticed a woman being helped who had her small child in her arms and the child was banging on the glass. The associate had this "Really?!!!" look on her face the entire time, but I doubt she was allowed to say anything. Oh come on, if you can be snotty because people don't look ritzy enough to shop there, surely you can kick them out because they won't tell their kid to quit banging on the glass.

One thing I've noticed about "misfiled" merchandise, is it's nearly always done in such a way that it destroys the item in question. Frozen/refrigerated stuff gets left on regular shelves, liquids get stuck into the freezer (where the bottle explodes), etc.

It's one thing for an SC to be lazy and stick a refrigerated item back in the wrong refrigerator...but that's not usually the case, it's almost as if they're subconsciously vandalizing the place...

Oh, yeah, finding evidence of stolen merchandise is always fun. At Voldemart, we'd go into the restrooms up front and find PILES of DVD cases in the stalls, in the trash cans...everywhere, really.

If your sorry ass can't afford a five-dollar DVD, I have to wonder how in the world you found enough gas money to drive to Voldemart. 'Cause out here, we don't have public transportation and the community's a rural, spread-out deal, so it's not like these people are hoofing it.

I guess my nephew is a rarity. I have a 3 year old nephew who will play with the toys in aisle but when done he puts back on shelf where he found them almost. May not be the neatest way but he keeps off floor.

Well, he's either being taught right, or has 100% good customer genes, and not a single sucky customer gene in his genetic make-up.

As far as not being tidy, that'll come with more time, more maturity, and more coaching. He has the intent, and that's the main thing. If an employee happened to witness him putting the item back, I'm sure they would not only be appreciative of him putting it back, but think it was darn cute too, and wouldn't worry if the little guy hadn't properly faced the item.

In fact, the employee may very well give him a and/or a

As annoying as I am as a customer on bad days (Yep, I can be a pain), if I find something that doesn't belong in a section at a store, I either A) Tell someone about it (If I'm afraid I'll get in trouble / blamed for it) or b) If it's something that's not frozen / refrigerated and I know where it goes, I'll put it back for the associates. Nobody should have to play 'egg hunt' with stupid customer logic. It's just not nice. LOL

Finding a no-longer-cold pack of nice steaks hidden behind the dry pasta was always one of my faves when I was working in the gross-ery store >_>
