How Not to Treat A Fitting Room Person

Don't do these things at the fitting room...

How Not to Treat  A Fitting Room Person
Alexander Korzh


One of the areas I work in from time to time is the fitting room, and here are some of the thing you should not do at them:

● Don’t yell at the phone operator if another person in the department we transfer you to doesn’t pick up. We don’t control them not picking up. We don’t have any control over the schedule. They are most likely in another department since managers run then around like crazy.

● Don’t give me flack over the item limit. I don’t make the rules, and we have to enforce it for security reasons.

● We don’t have a directory of every item our store carries, and since we are the fitting room we don’t know what every department carries. Let us transfer you.

● Don’t ask for directions to our store since it’s called google, and the internet is your best friend.

● Wait patiently for a manager since they are busy running other departments. They will get to you just not right away.

● If they don’t pick up right away hanging up then calling back isn’t going to help at all. Neither is being rude and accusing us of hanging up on you. We need to put you on hold. Don’t lie and say you got disconnected either since we know the truth. You got impatient and hung up.

● Don’t leave your clothes crumpled in the dressing room. Place it in the cart instead because it’s nice to do for the person after you, and I hate cleaning up after adults…

● Clean up after yourself. Never use the fitting room as a bathroom, and please don’t think it’s a good place to have sex in…

● Don’t leave bras on the floor, and put them on their pegs instead of leaving them for people to step on.

● Don’t be rude to the operator period since they are humans who need a job. Nothing wrong with that since people need to make money.

● Don’t ask me what I think of your outfit since I really don’t care.

● If we are helping you locate an item, be patient, and don’t hang up because when we are shorthanded we have to walk to the area which takes time. Don’t accuse us of hanging up since we aren’t near the phone.

● Okay, you don’t want an item leave it in the basket or on the place they have for it.

● Don’t get mad at us because you want to check out at the fitting room when it doesn’t have a register.

● Don’t get mad at us when the item you are price checking is different then you saw it on the shelf. We don’t control the prices…

● Never try on undies especially the ones in the plastic packages.

● Never try on bathing suits without undies.

● No, I’m not checking your underwear so you can see the size. You put it on this morning you should know…

● If you leave clothes and plan to buy them tell us, and don’t get mad if we take them and you didn’t tell us you plan on buying them.

● Please, don’t count out items to me like you think I’m stupid. I’m not a child despite looking like one. Don’t be rude to me like that.


These are just some of the things I have issues with while working there, and don't do them at the fitting room. he fitting room also answers the phone too so just remember everyone is human. Also getting an attitude doesn't help since people do that daily to people behind the counter. Just be nice and clean up after yourself.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
