This thread is stressing me out !!!!
You know what? We could really do with 'thumb up' and 'thumb down' buttons on here .
There is nothing that has been said so far that I don't agree with. I'm a bit scared that if I start my own list I won't know when to stop. I'll try hard to restrict it to just a couple of matters....for now .
Okay, shysal mentioned hangers. I get so irritated when I am looking through clothes in a store and items slip off their hangers. By the time I get to the third offending item I curse under my breath (or sometimes not ) and toss it across the rail. What infuriates me is that the hanger is usually totally unsuitable for the item of clothing it is trying to support. A bit like me, I guess . Also I find it so annoying how a rail of clothes usually has far too many items on it, like staff are setting themselves some kind of challenge. It is impossible for the customer to comfortably look through the items without catching their fingers, knocking items off the end of rails (rails without end stops....AARRRGH!!!), or hangers getting tangled together. I guess this is the result of not enough staff. If they kept more stock in a store-room and just kept a selection of sizes on the rails, then the rails could be restocked, or a requested item fetched from storage, as and when necessary. But that would, of course, mean someone leaving front of house and they can't have that, can they. Ohhhh no !
Oooh! One more for luck: stupid, scratchy tickets in the nape of the neck of clothes .
