Hanger conflict #1837354892464999

Again with the hangers; it's gotten to the point where I cringe every time someone brings me clothes to ring up. Our company purchases/reuses hangers, since cheap goods from China don't come with them. SC asks to keep them and I explain nicely that we own them and don't give them away. She proceeds to argue, saying, "Well, that's a new one. When did that happen?" My reply was that it's been this way as long as I've been there. I've worked there 6 years. Seriously, go buy some hangers. We sell a pack for $1.29.

Unless it is something really nice and expensive, I don't want the hanger personally. Don't really need a hanger for cheap dress shirt wen I always seem to have plenty at home.

Should just tell them to go to a junk store, where they pay you to take hangers. See if their brains freeze, or they still demand a free one.

Cheap asses! Customers at Ross did this all the time too. Seriously, the 99c store has them in packs of 10!

When I did Seasonal at a discount department store, I had a few customers ask me for the hangers with the baby clothes. THAT one I let slide, since it was understandable.

[XCashier]

I've never had a problem with leaving the hangers at the store. Why? Because they are usually cheap plastic or they are the heavy plastic with the clips and metal rod in them that obviously belong to the store.

Yeah, some of those hangers are brittle as eggshells. They snap in half if you look at them wrong. Why anyone would want those when you can get a package of much stronger ones for $1.00, I have no idea.

Speaking of hangers, it happened once when I was shopping at Macy's (and I forget how this situation came up), that my former co-workers ended up giving me a bag of hangers to take home with me. And I have to say, they've lasted very well.

At Target you can buy a GINORMOUS pack of hangars for very cheap. They're the nice, strong but flexible plastic kind too.

Each pack is like 20 or 30 hangars. You'd need just one, maybe two of them tops, and you'll have more hangars than you can possibly use.

I've probably bought 7 or 8 packs of those, and I always seem to need more... Can you tell what my addiction is?

THAT'S why Ross can sell stuff so cheap! Because they keep the hangers! Sheesh! Ya want more fancy service, ya pays more fancy money!

If I were a cashier at the swamp, I'd gladly give the customer the hanger if asked. Hell, I'd even prefer they take the hanger to begin with.

Because that would mean less time fiddle-farting around with Moon Unit's Ego Trip (detailed here) or the big bag in the backroom for excess hangers to be sent back to the DC for recycling.

All our hanging apparel comes on hangers from the supplier. Or sometimes the hangers are tossed loose in the box or tote along with the clothes.

I have a ton of hangers. I don't need more. Actually, I usually take stuff off the hangers before I even get to the register (or while I'm waiting in line), and fold them so the tags are easily accessible for scanning, especially at a place where I have a basket or cart (like Target). If I've tried stuff on, I'll usually just leave the hangers with the fitting room attendant and fold the stuff I'm taking in my basket.

Hangers, apparently.

At my old Restaurant job, I finished a To-Go order for this lady. She said" I'm gonna need to go stuff with it". An obscure request, but I could deduce she needed plastic forks, knives, napkins, etc. So, as she was checking her order with me, she kept saying , "Plates?" "...and the plates are...?" Plates? You gotta be fucking kidding me. Why the hell would I have paper plates, if you get a TO GO, they come in CONTAINERS.
I said, " I don't have any disposable plates, but_____grocery store does."
She just huffed and walked off. Oh well, BYE!

I feel your pain. Some people are just incredibly cheap, the thought of spending $1 makes them FREAK!

Panic when they hatch into shopping carts!
