I have recently come to the conclusion that I am not a tolerant person despite what I have to exude whilst at work. Underneath that sweetly smiling face is often the bubbling anger and frustration at people and the way they can be.
Let's start off gently.
In my shop, I have a little teensy bit of OCD surrounding hangers. Yes, hangers. They have to be right. The shop has wooden hangers, some have 'non-slip' grips on them and are straight hangers, some are skirt clip hangers and the rest are standard hangers that curve forward slightly. This curve is representative or the shoulders so it is clear that the clothes sit on the hanger facing forward, i.e the tips of the hanger point slightly more forward that the centre of the hanger. Then, in order for them to sit evenly on the rails, the hangers all face the same way which in turn means that all the clothes face the same way. The hangers are then placed on the rail with the hook facing away to make it easier to take the item off the rail and get a closer look. To me this is all logical and sensible and a way of making it easier for everyone.
Why then, do people firstly have to take the clothes off the rail, look at them and then ram them back onto the rail in a completely disrespectful manner, facing the wrong way with the hook towards them. If it was easy to take off the rail, why do you need to make such a flipping song and dance about putting it back on the rail!!!!
It gets worse when people try things on. Putting thing back on the hanger the wrong way round and attempting to be helpful by putting things back, the wrong way round, back to front, skewiff.... arrgghgh! Then there's the people who can't even be bothered to put things back on the hanger and leave hundreds of pounds worth of delicate silks strewn across the floor... excuse me!?! Do I look like your butler/ house maid?? NO- pick it up!
Now we've established that I am 100% neurotic, let's see how to calm me down. To me it doesn't matter which shop you are in, be it Topshop, Harrods or Cherry Cherry, it is basic manners to treat the staff and the clothes with some degree of respect. Please, please, please, try not to yank the clothes around on the rail, if things fall off, pick them up, if it keeps falling off, let someone know. When you've tried clothes on in a boutique, hang them up and leave them in the changing rooms. Someone will rearrange them and put them back where they belong and how they would like them to be hung up. That even saves you some time and effort! woo :)
In all fairness though, if you come in with a smile and are lovely and friendly to me, I won't mind so much about the hangers...
