I have worked in the food industry for 30 plus years and sometimes you can have the best shift ever, but other days, especially the rainy ones, it seems as if anything you say can set someone off. I imagine that working in a department store has to be difficult, especially with people like me that hate trying clothes on in front of a three-way mirror. Lol That makes me cranky. I love that you shared how we can make things easier for you and more pleasant for us, I will keep these in mind next time I go shopping. I always take my clothes to the return rack after I try them on, I hate going into a dressing room full of discarded clothing. Did your mama raise you this way?

All to often, many people don't think about the fact that someone has to clean up the messes. <br /><br />Thank you for sharing this with us on the #HomeMattersParty. We hope to see you again at 12AM EST on Friday when we open the doors again.

I love the idea that you focused on sales associates being front of the line. It's tough for people to realize that there's more to it than the person ringing you up on the registry and helping you on the floor. Therefore, it's not their fault that an item is out of stock or that the line is so long, so being nasty to them doesn't really do much. Kindness goes a long with retail, but sometimes it helps when its coming at you from both ends as well.<br /><br />Thanks for such a compelling post and for sharing it with us on #SHINEbloghop this week :) Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05421898683019359598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3109497869509798549.post-84081048603957214252016-02-24T20:58:54.807-05:002016-02-24T20:58:54.807-05:00I currently work in retail. loved this article!
