Amazing inconsideration
We did all our Christmas shopping in the same store, in the space of about two hours (20 minutes of which was spent standing in line). Those of you who finished yours early, good for you. Feel free to gloat, because we brought it upon ourselves.
The number of people doing the same thing we were did not surprise me. What did surprise me was the complete and total lack of consideration people had for the store’s property. There was no monkey business or rudeness in the line, but as I walked the aisles of this Ross store, I was amazed at the amount of their inventory that was on the floor. There are always a few items that fall or otherwise make their way to the floor, but the sheer volume of the stuff on the floor bordered on madness.
How hard is it to put things back on their hangers? It takes, what, three seconds? If it doesn’t fit, stick it back on the hanger and hang it somewhere. Anywhere! When you throw stuff on the floor, you disrespect the store, and you disrespect the other patrons who might want that shirt. I mean look at the result of this mass disrespect. It looks like a snowdrift of clothing.
Look at the shelf and look at the floor. Were these people clawing through rugs like senseless madmen? “Lavender rug, must find lavender rug at all costs!” *claw rip shred* It’s a frenzy that borders on “hey look these rugs are ten cents each, grab ‘em!” It’s to the point where you can’t even reach the end of the aisle.
Does this not look like a horde of wild children decided it would be fun to throw all the pillows onto the floor so they could run and do belly flops onto them? Or maybe someone wanted to recreate the posh lounging area of a sultan’s suite? I cannot comprehend why people simply cannot take an extra second to stuff a pillow back onto a shelf rather than dropping it onto the floor. It’s lazy and highly inconsiderate.
People are always amazing me. It’s so unfortunate that the amazement is always for the wrong reasons.
