OOOOO... I want the shirt that says "don't do anything stupid..."

It is so perfect to wear behind manifest...



I couldn't wear that shirt:D But i do want a "drop shop" shirt.;)



Sure you could wear it. You'd just have to get someone to write
"That's MY Job" on the back. :P

Your display doesn't show the front of the shirts.



Most of the ones with the design on the back have only a small logo on the front - I've tried folding these front side out, but then they can't relate the shirts on the shelves to the shirt in the display - evn though the ones on the shelves are directly under their corresponding display shirt.

The ones with the design on the front have nothing on the back.

I tried displaying both the front and back of one shirt. I even marked them "front" and "back." People would still unfold and look at both sides, then toss the shirt back on the shelf. Others would ask "Where's this one?" (referring to what was printed on the back), because the ones in the stacks were all folded with the design on the front showing. :S

Oh, and don't get me wrong. Most of the time I don't really mind refolding a shirt or three. It's those days when I have to refold the same shirt three or four times - and not one of that design sold that day. Those are the days that it bugs me. [:/]

You know what...if I go into a high end store to buy $200 shirts, you're damn right I'm not going to waste my time refolding the clothes. If you're paying a premium you should get service for it.



Most of these were hanging clothes. You won't even put the shirt back on the hanger and leave it in the dressing room? That's just plain being inconsiderate of other people's belongings if you leave the things you don't want in a heap on the floor.

skymama's got a point here.

If you're in the dressing room, you can at least hang it back up or put it on a hook.

Now, if I'm buying $400+ items (when I'm spending, I'm spending) like suits and such, I expect a guy waiting just outside the booth to take it from my hands, never laying it down.

Well, I am going to suggest something again...

Put up a sign that requests them to refold the shirt.

You deal with mostly skydivers I assume. Man are we a buncha slobs :ph34r:

Yes, but jumpers are usually pretty good about it. They see the shirt they want, they see the size they want, they grab it and they come to the counter. They often buy two or three different ones, too.

The mess is worst after a tandem student or two have come through with their entourage.

I should know better by now. Swallow the drink, then read the post. Not the other way around.

I was thinking the samething.

Just move the t-shirts to a place the customers can't get to. If they want one they'll ask for their size. End of folding. Hell you wont even have to remove them from the box they come in!! Think of the hassles it will save you.

I once worked at K-mart (3 weeks), mens wear. My job included folding pants into neat stacks on an aisle table. It takes 30 minutes to straighten them.

I once re-stacked them all neatly, then a kid ran down the aisle with his hand out and knocked them all over. When I told him to stop, his mother complained to my manager and my manager told me to apologize. :S

I walked back over and told her that my manager had requested that I apologize for trying to make her child behave normally. I gave the kid a Mountain Dew even. :ph34r: I figured that the little monster would be fun on the ride home with enough sugar and caffeine. :)

I quit the next day also.

That's usually what I do. I have no fashion sense so I shop where the sales people make commission. I find the hottest chick working the floor. Pick out a bunch of stuff in my price range, tell her to pick out her favorites and then help me carry them to the dressing rooms. Try them on, give her what back what I don't want, and then go to the register with what I do. She gets a nice commission and I get nice clothes. I can usually get 3 or 4 full outfits on a lunch break that way.

Good grief, I thought it was just me...:o...

I work in a gift shop at a zoo, and at the Pro Shop at CSC...

In the last few months, I have had to tag, price, hang up...and rearrange over a thousand shirts...:S...

Anyway, what drives me nuts is how a shirt that is hanging up on a friggin' hanger somehow ends up off the hanger and on the floor five minutes after I have opened the GD shop!!!!!!!!>:( WTF!?!?? First of all the tag is hanging RIGHT THERE IN FRONT OF THE SHIRT...So instead of checking first...they hold it up on them and the hanger falls out...and instead of handing it back to me...they just leave it there on top of the other shirts or they throw it on the floor...YES, ladies and gentleman, I have seen adults...(not the children I usually deal with at the zoo) throw shirts on the floor because they are too damned lazy to pick the shit up and hang it up themselves or walk the 10 feet to my counter and hand it to me...>:(>:(>:(

PHEW!!!! I feel much better now...B|...

Hey...beauty shop :PB|:P

I want to come and shop there for sure....
Is there a website to shop for those t-shirts and suits, I live in Canada where choice is nil ?

I would just hang sample of sizes...small- med.- lg. -xl on hangars-put up a nice sign that it is a "display rack for sizes"
Another nice sign on wall saying "t-shirt designs"..display shirts on wall like you've got with prices large enough to see..........
then hide all shirts off shelves away from customers reach. yada yada- customer picks what size they want, what design knowing price and then has to ask for customer service to purchase shirt (less of your underpaid time is taken folding)

have a great weekend B|

SMiles;)

Lisa,

Your photos CRACKED ME UP!!! You're a regular riot, alice!!

Why NOT just put up a nice little sign saying 'We'd appreciate it very much if you refold the tshirts. Thank you!~~the girl with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome'....

That may get them to try (hopefully)~~April

My peeve is when you buy a shirt and the sales person can't fold it to put it in the bag. You pick out a great looking top or pair of pants and when you get home they are in a wrinkled ball. Sheeez I HATE when that happens....

You have a clerk?!?!?! Dayum. Must be nice.

I gotta get me one of them. Then I wouldn't have to whine about refolding t shirts... cuz I'd have someone I could tell to do it for me.



Did you get that spoiled having me around for 2 weeks doing all the slave labor t-shirt folding that you're already bitching about doing it yourself again?Jeez some people are so lazy.;):P:P
