To the Retail Shoppers,

We are here to help you, not serve you.

When we say, "Hi, how are you?" it is because we have to.

When we ask for the fourth time, "Do you need any help?" it is because we have to.

When you see me fixing stacks of clothes and come up and ask if I work here, most likely, I do.

Don't come to the fitting room with a mountain of clothes , just don't.

When you go into a fitting room only one person is allowed at a time; yes that means your boyfriend/girlfriend has to wait outside.

When you see that we close at 9 p.m. and you come in at 8:50, know we will hate you.

If you give us unnecessary attitude, we will talk about you as soon as you leave the store.

Must you unfold every size of every shirt to find your size when they are clearly labeled?

If you see that we don't have any chairs, please don't sit on the displays.

No need for the attitude/dumb look on your face when we tell you we don't have what you're looking for.

Please do not yell at me (the associate) when we do not have a sale. Once again, I am an associate, I don't control the price.

No, I cannot give you my employee discount because you tried to flirt with me.

To the person with 10 gift cards and no idea how much is on each, thanks a lot.

I can always tell when you've worn the item when you try to return it.

For the last time, if there is no tag on a shirt, no, it is not free, and that joke is not funny anymore.

Please do not try to put your go-backs back by yourself, I will have to go find them and re-hang/fold it all.

Please do not touch our grabbing stick or ladder and try to get things yourself. I get paid to do that.

I have to ask you to join our email list, please do not make a rude comment to me. I'm not trying to steal your identity or harass you. It's in case you lose your receipt, which you will.

I can only go as fast as the computer, don't get impatient because the process is going slow.

Yes, we sell skate boards. Yes, the sign that says "Do not ride the boards" means do not ride the boards. I would like to avoid a lawsuit.

Please do not come in with a return from five months ago without a receipt and tell me you have no idea when you bought it.

Ma'am those are kid clothes, you will not fit into them, no matter how hard you try.

Shoppers, I am working while in college, this is not my career path. So please do not talk down to me like I am inferior to you, because I am not.

If you ask to speak to a manager about a problem, they will tell you the same exact thing I did. We all follow the same policy.

Love,

Retail Employees
