The holiday season brings out many things in us; we feel love, happiness, hopeful, and excited, but unfortunately, the season can bring on quite a lot of stress and frustration. I wanted to remind you of a few things you should try to remember while you’re out shopping always, but especially during the holidays.
You may be in a hurry, but the person helping you is doing what they can as fast as they can.
As much as you yell at us, we cannot change company policy because your coupon won’t work.
Employees work very hard to keep the shelves and clothing racks neat, please try not to leave things where they don't belong, or on the floor.
Stores are often short-staffed, it is not their fault that you have to wait in line.
Despite what you may think, we’ll be more willing to help you if you’re nice to us.
Please be patient, our supervisors have so many things to do. They can’t just drop everything and run to your aid.
Self-check out lanes are very finicky, please be patient while you wait for help.
Also in self-check-out, if something won’t ring up or doesn’t have a barcode, that does not mean it’s free for your taking just because the cashier is helping someone else.
Please be courteous to other shoppers, not everyone is in a hurry to get out of the store.
While using the restroom, don’t leave anything laying around that you wouldn’t want to look at in your own bathroom.
If you forget your credit card for that particular store, the cashier cannot always look it up on the register.
Sometimes your card will get declined by accident, or because you have an issue with your bank. Please remember it is not your cashier’s fault.
Most of all, understand that we are doing the best that we can to help you and get you on your way.
