Worked in retail almost half a decade, and let me tell y'all this is daily, not just Black Friday or summer sales.
Iāve had people look me straight in the eyes while they knock over a perfectly folded stack of shirts off a table so they could put down their Starbucks cup. People leave food, drinks, diapers, used pads and bandages, even one time an actual syringe on tables.
Iāve had people destroy entire displays and complain about how dirty and āwhy donāt employees respect their own storeā while I was directly next to them frantically trying to fix what they, themselves, just messed up.
This shit is so ingrained in me now that I fixed displays while on vacation in Disney World for a full half hour.
And before anyone says anything, no, actually picking up after grown adults that should know better, it actually isnāt my job to clean up after you all day. We have customer service, check for product, work the registers, keep the bathrooms clean, deal with angry customers, try to prevent shop lifting, and keep the store running. Recovery (fixing displays) is supposed to be low on our list because people arenāt supposed to be selfish shitheads. If you wouldnāt destroy your friendās house, donāt destroy retail shops.
