Obesity and Shoppers

I have worked retail for a little over two years now and one thing that has really bothered me in that time is the mess left behind by shoppers. Especially the ones who are just a little.. bigger. That is an oxymoran right? Little bigger? Sorry it is the A.D.D

See the problem really isn’t the size, it is the way people shop. I mean if you have worked retail it is obvious because those people usually don’t flip over a whole stack and leave every piece touched and mangled to get to your size destroyed in anger that you had to do a little work to get the one you want. I mean don’t get me wrong those extra small and small people do that it just doesn’t leave 20 extra shirts to be fixed.
I was also thinking about how easy it is for those smaller people to shop since if you didn’t know retail standards suggest going smallest to largest which makes obvious sense I would hope. Especially because they didn’t build the pyramids of Egypt smallest to largest on top. That would be cool to see though right?
So back to my point…
These smaller shoppers save a lot more time then these bigger shoppers because they really just have to grab whatever they want off the top, or the front row of stuff hanging. It is pretty simple and easy. Where as if you are the larger sizes you have to dig.. and dig.. and apparently flip over and mangle every size you can’t fit into to make youself feel better? I don’t know why they do what they do. I am just the dude who comes in behind them and has to re-fold all of it.
I am sure this might cause some issues but seriously, it is funny if you think about it.
“Why do bigger people have to shop like they eat?”… I in no way shape or form came up with that. I seriously heard a customer who was mad that all the smalls and mediums were flopped and destroyed so don’t be pissed at me.
This post isn’t a attack on the over weight or anything I just think it is super annoying what happens to the clothes I have to deal with almost daily.

Another thing that bothers me is when people take off the top shirt to look at the logo, flop it all up. Throw it on the shelf, and then grab their size. Then to realize they don’t want the shirt anymore. TWO for the price of NONE wow. Good deal eh?
Or even in some cases the people who take the size they need out, look at it and flop it all up.. then grab the next nicely folded one in their size and buy that one. Really? Is your shirt destroyed after you unfolded it. Well, yeah it is destroyed but that is just for me because I have had to fold that specific shirt 20 times today because the pretty colors attracted you.

Ah while I am on that topic. What is it with people who see me fold a whole shelf and get it all nice that attracts them to litterally grab the stuff I just folded and mess it up again to see what all the excitment was over those shirts that just got fixed. Seriously people, I am going to freak out.

Finally, my attack on the skinny people. The ghetto, and those little white punks who think they are black. What is with wearing XXL! really? come on we have dresses over there if you want a dress. I don’t get why somebody would want a shirt that is five sizes too big. I mean sure I understand why they have that size, but that is for those people who are a little big and that is cool if they wear it. I just don’t see how wearing that stuff makes you a gangster, or hardcore, or whatever the hell your trying to be.

Then again I guess your not wearing girls or super skinny jeans… stupid EMO kids.
