Re: RETAIL (and how we just LOVE Xmas) Posted by: skeltra on August 06, 19102 at 21:42:57: In Response to: RETAIL (and how we just LOVE Xmas) posted by Kate Kelly on December 05, 1998 at 11:51:55: : Greetings from a retail store manager...Think you got a tough job? Let me tell you a little about whats' expected from some of my clerks. First, the hours..sometimes they stay till 11PM and then turn right back around and be back at the store at 7AM (tends to make one cranky). They are expected to wait on customers IMMEDIATELY and to be polite at all times, even if the customers' left their manners at the front door. Why is it we feel we can abuse another human being just because they are standing behind a counter? They spend the majority of their time picking up items customers throw on the floor (all day bending) or they are ordered to go in "the back" and get the really "good stuff" we suppossedly keep back there. And the best part is the pay....barely above minimum wage. Ever try to feed 2 kids on $230 a week? So in conclusion, I watch these clerks do their jobs,,day in and day out...smiling... and I am constantly amazed. Be nice to your local retail clerk this Xmas. Your grace makes their lives just a little bit easier. :Why must some customers destroy a department in a retail store, by leaving merchandise they do not want on the ground (which probably isn't where they found it to begin with). Why must they tear open merchandise that is packaged and complete (often when other packages have already been opened and can be "touched"), yet still they will tear open another piece exactly the same, until there is not one complete, unopened package left for anyone to purchase, because no one wants to purchase something that has been opened already.
