You organise a clothing/shoe rack, just for customers to mess it up right in front of you. People throw stuff on the floor and leave things lying around with no remorse. The worst -- I think -- is when customers are in the store and the store is closed, and they're slowly browsing. It's SELFISH.
And the management/supervisors... Lord.

Oh my goodness, all of this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I started retail in October and my contract ends in two weeks, and boy am I glad! Maybe it's the store I'm at, but it's just horrible. The public can be so obnoxious and when you tell them you haven't got such a thing in stock, they'll persist and insist you check in the stockroom AGAIN. Like bitch, I've checked, I didn't just go upstairs and skip around the stockroom throwing petals on the floor. Also, and this part is why I'm most happy about leaving - the managers/supervisors are so rude, bitchy, arrogant, condescending and just overall horrible. I'm expecting to go into retail again once I leave this place, but I just hope it's different to my current workplace.
