The Customer is Always Right
**This page contains affiliate links to products I recommend. If you purchase something from this page, I may receive a small percentage of the sale at no extra cost to you** You have to love the customers who can NEVER find their size on the floor, & then can magically fit what’s on the mannequin. So you being the great associate that you are, you climb up, take off the arms and/or legs & hands off the mannequin and then proceed to take the small or extra small garment off and hand it over to the customer. (With a smile) The customer then proceeds to the fitting room, and in less…

Common Sense is NOT in Abundance
When the ENTIRE store is 50% off, trust me, it’s not rocket science. Do NOT ask me to check the price for you! If your item is $49.95 & you don’t know what half of that is, then use that phone you got in yo hand. I promise, it’s quicker than me walking to the register to scan it. Just to prove to you, that the price I gave, was legitimately ACCURATE. Oh, but wait the fun doesn’t stop there! You answer ONE question about a price and the next thing you know, you are now a personal calculator. (Yay, You!) 🎊🎉 I mean, do you go to the restaurant…

Pick Up After Yourself
When you’re the designated fitting room person on a Saturday there isn’t much you don’t see…..Like literally, Trust me! You gotta love when customers not only throw clothes on the ground like savages, but then have the audacity to have them turned inside out. Or you have the ones who have the clothes inside out but decided they would do YOU a favor by sticking them back on a hanger. “Why Thank you!” Not really 😒 It takes MORE time to take the clothes off the hanger & turn them outside in, versus just picking the clothes up from the floor. If you are in NEED of taking the savage approach. Customers Point of View: “I’m giving them something to…

Let Me Help You, Help Yourself!
You’re shopping in a store looking through the tables and racks when an associate greets you and ask if “You need help with anything?”. Customers point of view: I didn’t ask you for any help, so clearly I’m doing fine. Let me shop in peace! But then you have days when you’re like: OMG!!!! Pleeeaaassse HELP ME! I have no idea what I’m looking for & I need an outfit to wear like, TOMORROW! Associates point of view: If you touch one more thing on this table that you see me folding, I might actually hurt you. I’m really not asking you for you, I’m LITERALLY asking for me! But…

Both Sides Matter
When walking into a store and you are being greeted by an associate. What do you naturally do? Are you the customer that speaks back or do you walk in and ignore that you were even spoken to? Customers point of view: I always personally speak back. Even if it’s quick ‘Hi’ a half a smile, I will always acknowledge being spoken too. Associates point of view: After saying Welcome to xyz for the 100th time of the day we are literally over speaking in general better yet with charisma. It’s not you, it’s just us being tired. So if we speak & don’t get a response back its like we…

Retail Associates
When you are at the checkout and the customer proceeds to place the money on the counter. From an associate’s point of view, that has to be the most disrespectful thing that you can do. You might as well slap me in the face while your at it. How would YOU like it if I gave you not only your change back on the counter but also your receipt? Motto here: Do unto others as you would have them do unto YOU. What are your thoughts or takeaways on this matter?
