Wow. This reminds me. Is there a way to block people here? Some people's rants are killing my good happy mojo...
Yeah, I think there is. I just played with it. Click on the user's name and you'll see 4 options, one of which is Toggle User's Visibility. Just click on it and watch them disappear, or at least that post.
Oh gosh, how embarrassing. The spelling is actually "Geller."
@Orrymain, it was a reference to the TV show Friends.

I've worked at fast food jobs (McD's, Wendy's and Arby's) and retail (TJ Maxx and Pier One) throughout college, and was making $3.35 an hour. I worked my butt off scrubbing floors, cleaning fryers, wiping down tables and dealing with rude, entitled customers. Thank goodness the majority of them had the courtesy to at least walk 10' from the table and throw their tray away.
What's crazy is that leaving your trays and trash on the tables in a fast food restaurant is the norm in other countries... But many of us are here in America, thank goodness.

Now, now, now bgriffin. Her posts contained no snark whatsoever. Just screaming, name calling and personal attacks. I'm shocked you can't tell the difference.

No, I wouldn't say the associate said it in a nasty tone, but, like I said, she did say it to all of the other customers as well. What was interesting was that every customer did do it...every last one of them. I would have done it regardless, which is why I didn't take offense to it.
I reached out to my scheduler, and she let me include the information. However, including the information could be the reason for a reduction in my grade on the shop. I say this because the feedback I received from QA said that my report required "adjusting," from the Editors. Anyway, all's well that ends well.
I also wet some napkins and wipe my table at a fast food place, and I thought I was the only person in the world that does that.

Thanks. I clicked on Phoebe and clicked "toggle user visibility." I have no use for her emotional instability and self-delusion at this time.
I would have automatically put the clothes back on the hangers, I would just leave clothes in a pile.

I always put the clothes back on the hangers - almost anyone who has worked retail would. However, TELLING the customers to do that is wrong, I believe. I would put it down.
I am really not understanding why asking the customer to put the clothes back on the hangers is wrong. Maybe I'm missing something?

Did he ask or order or tell? Sounds in this example there was no "asking" whatsoever.
You have a good point, however imo no one should have had to ask or tell someone to put the clothes that they hadn't purchased back on the hangers. I'm not judging but I just always do that common courtesy.

The main point..and maybe this can end it before Phoebe comes back..is ... IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN DOCUMENTED.
If you agree or disagree it's of enough importance a part of the interaction it needs to be included.

Honestly I probably wouldn't have registered it as strange if an employee said that to me since it would never occur to me not to put items back on the hangars. I know I have never left an article of clothing in a dressing room in my life. I also take the number tag back to fitting room attendant that way they can check that I went in with a certain number and came back out with that number and am not wearing something out of the store. This conversation is eye-opening.

I would have. . For all we know it can be a positive or a negative their boss is looking for. When filing forms at times I notice them asking if an employee asked all kinds of possibly absurd questions that at the time I never thought would be significant, but now that I see it on the form and remember it! (although ,no where in the guidelines, ahem) I get they find certain things significant. Like, what exact words they say when exiting a conversation. "Thank You" or "My Pleasure" or what further engaging question they ask..and on and on...with their programming. So, I just put everything which is allowed when an employee is proactive.

I worked in retail for ladies clothing years ago. We were trained to tell the customers to leave the clothing in the dressing room. Hanging it up was never mentioned either!

A really snarky reply would be:
My tailor measures me and after applying a few pins, they always remove the clothing article from me to avoid sticking me with the pins. Then they finish sewing it into a custom fit.
Of course, this is after I bought something at a crazy discount that was too long or to large at a clearance outlet or a high end thrift store. There is one local owned and operated used clothing store that only carries high end label clothing in perfect condition and charges more than an average thrift store, but saves me the trouble of sorting through racks of crap clothes to find the gems.
I have a Latino tailor that don't speak English well, and he never sticks me with a pin and his wife does the sewing. I have brought clothes with the tags on it to them and they are cheap. He charges me like $20 to completely resew the crotch and take in the waist size and maybe $7 to blind hem the bottoms of a pair of slacks so they fit me perfectly.

Empty hangers signal theft. Even if you are inconsiderate and sloppy, you should protect yourself by hanging things back up. Maybe this was a high theft store, and the associate was trying to make that part easier vs. holding you up while she matched a garment to each empty hanger. That gets uncomfortable.
Never understood people who left a pile in the floor. You're not buying it and you want to make sure it is ruined so no one will else will buy it, either?

I alwaya put my burritos back up on a hanger...what i dont use. As per custom.
Actually it's not. Putting clothes back on hangars after you've tried them on is good manners, stacking plates and scraping them for the waiter is just not done. It's not bad manners, but vulgar. Just like returning the cart to the corral (?) is the right thing to do , instead of leaving it roll around the parking lot.
The employee didn't ask. Rather, she said it as a statement, and told customers to return the number tag, and the clothes on the hangers when they exit the fitting room cabin.

To me it would be the same as asking a customer to stack their plates, or any other part of my job. It is the employee's job to provide service, not to ask or tell customers how to make the employee's job easier. If the employee does that on his own, fine.
In case anyone is keeping score, I hang clothes, but often leave them in the fitting room. I do not stack plates or bus tables. I put my trash in the trash can in ff restaurants and hotels, but I do not strip or make beds.
Hmm. This would have been good on Candid Camera.
