I get so damn annoyned its not even funny sometimes I feel like screaming at the the person like get the ·$%&/ away from me. Even though its there *JOB*

LET ME B R E A T H E

I mean , c´mon , and dont follow me everyyywhere..

EXAMPLE UNO:

I walked into this store and as soon as I go in this lady comes up to me

Her: You need help with anything
Me: No , just browsing...
Her.We have specials
Me: Oh really ..ok..
Her: Everything here is like basically new
Me: Yeah , I noticed
Her: Hey , look at this top it would go perfectly on you , and this one,
and this one too , Oh and these jeans too!
Me: Maybe later..
Her: O.k whatever.

Dont do that. Ever. I never went into that store again , because *usually* Ill feel guilty but its happened to me so many times that really I get angry instead.

SO if any of you work in any type of store keep a safe distance!..Or one customer is just going to snap.

PS:Im not saying dont look at them cause c´mon this is not a Mary Poppins World , like I said keep a safe distance.

Well I work in reatail and I understand why they do that, but at the same time, I never get in peoples faces. i always just ask them if they are finding everything okay, tell them the sales when they walk in the door, and then leave the shopping up to them, because I know thats how I like to be treated. BUt sometimes we'd get these girls who would come in with huge empty jcpenny bags, and because we couldnt afford to buy the 6000 dollar security system so the ink tags would go off, we really had to watch people. Thats when the can I help you are you finding everything do you need another size can I take that to the dressing room for you etc etc comes into play. Because if someone is acting like they are stealing (I would know, I have a friend who did it all the time) we can't afford to not say or do something. But they should never ask you if you are stealing something. You can legally press charges if you arent. Thats why we had to watch the people so closely, because you had to know for sure that they took something. If you didnt know for sure, you oculdnt say anything, because if you were wrong, they could sue. SO yeah. Just a little insight from a gril whos worked a lot of retail.
