Associate asked me to put all clothes I was leaving back on a hanger

I also put clothes back on hangers and put them away. But not with folded clothes. I can never seem to match the folds on display so I don't bother trying anymore.

I always hang up the clothes also. The folded clothing is folded on a board and that is why they always look so good. Unless you have their board, it does not come out the same. I used to work in a ladies retail store in the mid 90's. I do not miss it either. LOL.

I took them off the hanger, I would put them back on.

I do put all the clothes back on the hanger but I don't for the previous customers. Also, if I'm not shopping in the store for anything else I do not return each item to the rack (usually can't even remember which rack I got it form!) I do believe it is their job to do this. Most nice stores would rather inspect and hang properly before returning to the racks anyway. Hope this helps.

When your eating at a $50 for two low/mid level dining, you usually see the customers stacking the dirty dishes to the end of the table and throwing the dirty disposable napkins and any unwanted thing in a pile at the end of the table.

This is acceptable behavior for a casual dining location to move dirty plates on the table and even stack them, as this is what causal diners do. I would always push my dirty dishes to the right before MS.

Now as soon as there is a tablecloth, I would never so much as touch a plate. I expect to make a mess with the bread and see them comb the tablecloth and make a point to. I never touch anything and expect service where they see me set the salad fork in the empty bowl and appear almost on cue and remove both of them.

Yes, I'll toss the clothes on the dressing room floor and rip them apart and put charcoal fluid on them and light them on fire!

P.S. LJ didn't say that!

Scanman, you are sick and twisted.

Hi All, I am sure you who do these shops remember that the fitting room attendant is responsible for theft prevention, too. They need to count the items when they come back. Is that not a question on the form? Personally, I do it just to get them out of my way and to eliminate the NOs. It has nothing to do with housekeeping.

It's definitely something that should be included in the report--it's factual, and it's unlikely to be in line with the store's policies. I've worked for and managed stores in several clothing companies, and putting the clothing back is part of the job. We would never, ever be permitted to ask customers to hang their clothing back up, no matter how politely, and I honestly can't think of a store that would allow it. Associates might be doing it and getting away with it, but that doesn't mean they should be doing it.

Pretty sure it's the policy for some stores. I've even had Managers request this.

I put myself through college working for Kelly Temporary Services, which usually meant office jobs, but one summer I pulled a two week stint working hotel housekeeping. Wow! It's backbreaking, thankless work. I'm sure I could have adapted to it long term, but even on my young, toned, and athletic body, the work was merciless and left me aching for a hot soak every night. A lot of people treat hotel rooms much worse than their own homes, since they aren't the ones having to clean up the mess. I do understand that part of what we pay for at a hotel is the housekeeping, but to this day, I try to be considerate of those housekeepers that are often lifting 50-100 mattresses per day, on top of everything else. On a multi-night stay, I usually only have them touch up the room or leave fresh towels. When I check out, I always gather up the bathroom laundry and leave it in the tub, and I strip the bed, leaving the sheets in a pile, so that they at least don't have to do that. Yes, I know that isn't expected, but I just enjoy treating them the way I appreciated being treated when in their shoes.

I leave hotel rooms fairly clean. Towels in one pile, trash in the trash cans. I do draw the line at stripping the bed. At least I tip
