but first we need to talk.
honestly this is gonna be quite a long rant I believe so feel free to skip this I guess?
okay so I've been working for almost a year. we gucci, I think I needed to get my head down to earth and I'm very happy that i got a job so easily. however, let me tell you. i think people are nowhere near mature, sadly. and I'm not talking about kids. I'm talking about grown ass people. like now, I understand you ain't having a good day or that you're tired from work but guess what. just like you, I work and your attitude towards me will obviously determine the way I act to you. I don't expect everyone to be nice but I'd like people to be a little more aware. I work on a clothes store. now, let's get down to this.
- just because I ain't working on the so called "prideful" and "good" jobs (along with a ton of other flattering adjectives) it doesn't mean I'm less human, nice, rational, etc. like im working bcs I need the money, right? boy you dont need to come up to me and act like a total bitch bcs honestly it ain't my fault you having a bad day.
- the customer is right is very 2013. excuse me but this ain't it. I dont mean to be rude towards whoever but if I take certain measures it's because I'm forced to. like for example a lot of customers come claiming they dont have the receipt from their purchase. my job, as the person who's helping out in the store is to follow the stores rules aka no receipt, no return, I'm sorry. you dont have to act rude to me when I'm following rules. it was n o t me who made them, in first place and people are meant to be responsible for the stuff they do. honestly half the time I feel like snapping at people when they act rude bcs they give me "it ain't my fault this is like this" or "im disappointed that you guys do this this way bcs other stores dont" well, go to the other store? be responsible and dont throw away the receipts ???? idk man
- I just cleaned this specific place and you go in and just happily mess it. that is disrespectful. yeah I understand you want to touch clothes and see if you like them but you really DONT need to yeet the clothes into the next universe. do you do that at your house? then please dont do it at the stores. its tiring to be cleaning up after people's messes.
- taking clothes with you to try them in the fitting room that's perfectly fine but at least make sure to bring them back out instead of letting them on the floor, hanging on the hangers that are in the fitting rooms or just casually shoving the hangers of the actual clothes into them. you're ruining perfectly fine clothes. and now this may make no sense to you like lmao but think over it. those clothes will be thrown away most the time. my store does give them to charity as long as it wont have anything that endangers people's lives. but it doesnt make sense that the same ppl who talk about how much waste we are making and how bad it is for the environment are the same who casually ruin clothes.
- be mature. I think people need to be mature. people are so open minded these days but I'm honestly scared of the next generations. like everyone claims "I NEED to be respected" but what about the person in front of you? respect is something that should be the base for who we are, tbh. like I get it, we are all different but seriously? just because I'm on my shift it doesnt mean I'm any less respectable than anyone else. I'd like people to think over their actions bcs this is honestly an everyday thing.
- if I approach you when working, don't take it as an offence. I'm genuinely trying to help. I'm not accusing you of stealing or anything, I'm just trying to be helpful. body language is very important, so I'll end up understanding if you're okay with my help or not but people jump to conclusions too quickly rip
I know this may mean nothing to 90% of the people who read this but be aware of your actions, please. I have noticed I have to better myself in so many things, honestly, and this won't really change unless people are aware of it. put yourself in people's shoes. would you like it if these things were done to you?
I've been wanting to rant over this for so long. it's just frustrating to be okay with people when people just dont collaborate. I'm even surprised this comes from the older generations and not so much from the younger ones. but once again, this world is weird lmao.
OKAY time to eat some cookies and fish for inspirations uwu
hope everyone is having a great day uwu
