Last Saturday at work, both of my closing people didn't show up. That left us very shorthanded on a Saturday night. After the store closed I was trying to clean the place up, and it was a MESS. Stuff out of place all over the shelves and floor and TONS of returns. Almost an hour after we closed I was getting very, very angry, muttering under my breath about how it was very late and I wanted to be home, not cleaning up after a bunch of filthy people and why was my job being threatened when I always show up for work and have to always cover for the people who DON'T show up. Then I walked around the corner and saw the skeleton in the picture, holding a hand up and offering me a hot dog, but he was keeping the donut for himself. Despite being one more thing I would have to clean up, it actually made me smile and giggle a little. Just a little. I had a hard time getting the toys out of its ribs and that made me mad again. So, when you shop, do you trash the store or do you leave the things you don't like with the cashiers? Are you someone who thinks its fun to play with the merchandise and leave tableaus like the skeleton for people to clean, because you think its funny?

I have worked in retail also so I always try to be considerate. Those types of jobs are so much work! Are you a manager? I remember when I was a manager I had to fill all of those shifts as need be when my high schooler employees called out "sick". Ah. Well I hope you have a better day tomorrow!

I would never play around with merchandise. I wasn't brought up that way.

No way. I wouldn't touch anything that is not mine or things I don't intend to buy. Leaving a mess everywhere or playing around with merchandise in a store is so rude.
