Inconsiderate

[damselburnout]

At work today it was terribly slow, or should I say "quiet." Anyway, I got to work and even though we had an event my department stayed spotless. No clothes on the floor, no tons of go backs, nothing. It was nice to come to work and not really stress out about the fitting rooms, or go backs, or floor sweeps. I did encounter a mother and daughter who very much were the rudest couple I've had all week. The daughter didn't ask for a fitting room, instead she stood in front of a mirror and just tried on clothes. After she was done she would just throw it on the nearest rack not even hung. It was slow so I would just walk around once or twice and pick up after her. Normally I would say something but for some reason I kept quiet. Her mother was worse! She tried on coats and for some reason was too disabled to grab the hanger and hang it back up, so she'd just throw it on the floor. I'd do the same with her, walk around once or twice and pick up after her. There was this one time where I picked up a blouse off the floor, got a hanger and hung it right back where it should be. All of a sudden after I did that her mother starts to yell in their language. Her daughter comes running towards me and asks if I picked something off of their cart. I calmly said no and told them that I just picked up a blouse off the floor. She says, "Yes! The blouse on the floor was mine!" Alright... then don't yell at me and say that I took it out of your cart. I've been in retail for two years. I've had the worse customers known to man, I mean real bad. But I think the worse are just inconsiderate slobs who know you're there picking up after them but they still don't care and they rub it in your face by doing it purposely in front of you.

So, after all of that I decided I should help customer service ring some customers just so the line would die a little. As I was ringing up a family I over heard their conversation and I can hear the daughter talking about some person they knew and she said something like, "Is she retarded? I think she's retarded. Something is wrong with her. She's mentally retarded." And her dad replies by saying that there's something wrong with her ever since she met her, "She's not ugly but I always thought something was wrong with her... yeah..." Sheesh!!! Are you kidding me?! Have some decent respect for this person you're talking about. I'm sure as hell you wouldn't want to hear one of your friends call you retarded, or stupid, or dumb and believe it was fact.

Geese, slow day, but some very, very rude customers. I hate retail.
