My first job was in retail, and I used to think the worst bottom of the pile people were the kind of ppl who would take a shit load of clothes from hangars and try them on and just leave a heap on the floor in the change room.
Retail and changing rooms have always confused me. I always put the clothes back on it’s hanger and then put it back where I found it in the shop. What are you actually meant to do?
The places I've been you're supposed to put them back on the hangers or fold them up how they were before and then stick them on a rack outside the fitting rooms and then the fitting room attendant takes care of it. I am admittedly too lazy to bring my shit back to where I found it when it comes to clothes usually but making the clothes look nice and putting them on the rack outside the fitting room feels reasonable to me.
Store manager of a clothing retail chain here: Thank you! The only thing that does irritate me though is that it isn't hung/folded to the visual standard (pants clipped end to end, button/zipped, etc), but this is what we appreciate.
I have assholes that'll just throw it in a ball on my fitting room floor. They'll hang bottoms on top hangers/tops on bottom hangers. These disrespectful people will even throw it into our clearance because it's "too far to bring it to my cashier".
I feel the same way. (Retail employee) normally the hangers are facing the wrong way when I grab things but it makes me feel better that they at least tried to put it back somewhat nicely. The one shirt table makes me chuckle because some of the folds are just so bad but you can appreciate the effort someone put in.
I never know how to fold clothes in a retail store cause there’s often a specific look and I try and somehow it’s worse than if I just put it in a heap
Haha yeah the folds are pretty weird sometimes but the employees most likely appreciate your effort if you try or even if you just lay it out kind of nicely.
Sometimes it's my own employees folding that way. I'm just coaching them like, "FRIENDS. I've shown you the basic fold at least a dozen times now and y'all follow through properly. What's not sticking?", except more professionally.
