Fitting Room Confessions








The fitting room is a retail associates nightmare. Its a shop-lifters dream, a bums resting place, the crazy ladies bathroom, and a young couples adventure. I used to work as the fitting room attendant and its where I realized retail sucks. People would steal daily, you would go in and find empty CD cases clothing tags and random open packages. Then security would get mad at you because things were stolen yet you were scheduled 2 hours after the fitting room doors were unlocked. To make things worse you'd go in at 10am and there was always a bum just sitting in a fitting room stall till around 12pm. They smell are rude to other customers and just plain gross. I remember once a lady went in to try on a pair of jeans the next thing i knew there was pee dripping out of the stall. The customer just pissed on the floor. About 20 minutes later she came back and tried to get back in. She was furious I wouldn't unlock the door. Once i went to the bathroom came back and heard a thumping noise against the men's fitting room door, the next thing i knew a women came out flushed as could be then a man right after her. I was afraid to look in the room and when I did there was a used condom on the floor. :( I HATE RETAIL.

Introduction




Hello! This blog is about the disturbing tales and confessions of retail. Ive worked for a major retailer for the last 3 years and seen a lot of messed up things. Yet i usually get a good laugh out of most of it. This is my way of releasing the the stress and getting to complain without fighting customers.
