You people!!! You complain and complain and complain about the employees when you fail to realize that WE DON'T MAKE THE POLICIES!
I am always extremely polite with people. Even when they have completely unnecessary attitudes toward me. I go out of my way to help anyone who asks me for help, and if a customer walks away from me unhappy or dissatisfied its always, ALWAYS because of a policy they don't agree with. We cannot return things that have been washed. Don't get pissed at me it's not my fault. We cannot help how long our lines are, I'm working as fast I can to ring you up, detach security tags, fold your clothes (which I take the extra time to do even if it is not required of us) hang up returns, do price checks, answer phones AND be polite to you. Not to mention that all our equipment is older than I am and half the time we're out of bags. Do you want to know how my training went? I had none. They threw me on a register the first day and said it's pretty much self-explanatory.
I'm sorry if we don't have a public restroom but you know what? It''s not our fault. It's YOUR fault. It costs money to have to unclog the toilet every time you people stuff it full with paper towels. It costs money to have someone come in and clean it every hour. And money is something the CEOs can't let go of. That's right, they're the ones who tell us to close it off. We don't make the decisions. And they definitely won't keep it open when half the people who use the bathroom like to get human waste everywhere BUT the toilet. Someone has to clean it up.
Also? The shoplifting. Don't think we don't know. Don't think by any means that we haven't seen you switch those tags, stuff those purses or carry merchandise into the bathroom. I'm not stupid, just highly tolerant. I also feel bad for you. You must be extremely pathetic to be shoplifting 1.99 panties. Just know that every time you shoplift, you think your not hurting anyone but the big company, but think again. All the losses get cut out of OUR hours, and we've got bills to pay. It also raised the prices for honest citizens.
So the store is messy? Well how about you people start acting your age and start treating the place with respect. Why am I having to pick up after women twice my age? Why can't you follow simple etiquette? Drop it, pick it up. Pick it up, put it back. It really says a lot about you and your practices when you leave random crap you changed your mind about 6 aisles from where it's supposed to be. You people are neanderthals. Oh and guess what? WE ARE NOT BABYSITTERS. Do not leave your disgusting offspring unattended! (I still can't believe you animals actually breed) Because guess what? Not only do they tear apart merchandise that would've been sold to pay our pathetic wages but child predators actually come to Ross because they view it as open buffet. It actually took 45 minutes once to find the mother of a 3 year old. And she hadn't even realized he was gone. Why do WE have to come find YOU to tell you your child needs you? Why won't you watch your kids so they don't shit all over our floors? And why don't you have the decency to pay for the crap your kids broke or opened? You'd do that anywhere else. What is it about Ross that makes you forget how to behave morally?
Lastly, if you want to blame someone blame corporate. Go ahead I encourage you. They are the ones cutting corners however they can so they can rake in more profits. If anything you should pity us, the sales associate. We are the ones getting paid minimum wage to deal with you, get yelled at by you, stay 2 hours after close to clean up after you so it's presentable for you in the morning, and after that limp home to catch a few hours of rest only to repeat this hell in the morning. If I could, I would quit but the economy is not what it used to be.
Now I'm not saying all Ross employees are as awesome as I am, neither am I saying that all Ross customers are evil. But I'm sorry to say that a huge percentage of our customers make life a living hell. God bless a few of you. The ones who pick up after themselves or after the pigs. Or who greet my smile with a genuine one of their own. Thank you for responding to my greetings, and even asking how I was. It's comforting to know that some people still have a shred of decency. I apologize to you for any experience that might have caused you anything less then an enjoyable shopping trip at Ross.
The rest of you pigs can go to hell.
