In my store, they do the bra exchange themselves; they go in the fitting room and put on the new bra, then leave their worn out, dingy, dirty bra haning in the fitting room. Eewww.
Oh well...it keeps me from having to do an exchange. Smile

If your store has a loudspeaker, use it to announce a missing piece of underwear.

Did I tell you about the customer who returned over ten pairs of shoes that were used for a wedding? Apparently, when it comes to bridal, even the shoes can be rented.

This one makes more sense in Spanish, but hopefully, I can make it just as hillarious.

One time, I was on my way to the managers office, and there was this customer standing around wanting help. When she sees me passing by, she says in a low tone of voice "socorro." Socorro means help in Spanish (along with ayuda and auxilio.) I felt tempted to tell her "madam, my name is not Socorro. It is Burger."

ok, here is my two cents:
i'm working in jewelry..this gal who seriously looked like a crackhead type....that was just my impression...took quite a while looking at earrings that she wanted to wear on her............. wait for it...........tongue. ok. her tongue is pierced. not thaaaaaaaat unusual. was she looking at some 14 kt gold studs ? uh, no. she was looking at a dangle earring (swear to gawd) that had a leverback "hook" on it. all of you ladies know what these look like. i tried to talk her out of it, suggesting it might not be easy to ....oh , i don't know.....SWALLOW ?? and maybe....just TALK ?

maybe it's just me. i'm funny that way. i think these are important things to be able to do. Razz

i couldn't talk her out of it. she buys the pair. and i instruct my co-workers that if this woman comes back, DO NOT return them or at least don't touch them. DAMAGE THEM RIGHT AWAY. does she come back to return them? you betcha. that was not macy's . it was a Mayco store.

ewww. i can still picture the woman. .......shudder....shudder... Surprised

We would have people buy Karastan Rugs right before Christmas, and then return them before New Year's. They would have food stains on them, as they obviously bought them for their Christmas parties. That happens each year, and the store can't do anything about it.

I should do that with my wardrobe too. Beginning with my underwear. Surely beats shopping at Gimbels.

I do that at work everyday. With business so slow, I have to pass the time somehow. I wonder when they will start missing me out on the floor?

Umm. Were they slapping each other with fish? Couldn't help myself. Must be really desiring to watch Jonah a Veggie Tales movie. I love how they portrayed the Ninevites in there as people who slap each other with fish.

Apparently MAYcylady has a professional woman service on the side at Macy's.


She also likes to sell thongs and lean on cell phones. If she isn't at Macy's she is at Victoria's Secret looking at Thongs or Verizon, T-Mobile, or AT&T leaning on the cell phone displays.

Thankfully, I don't have a fitting room by my department. We do have multiple chambers that could easily make a customer get lost. I love it whenever a customer tries to enter the stockroom either looking for a sales associate or to try to find the shoes herself. We are the largest shoe department around. The stockroom covers the entire perimeter of the department, and we have aisles and aisles of merchandise. Good luck finding your shoes on your own. Don't forget to make the bread crumb trail while looking for what you want.

This fall we "lost" about two dozen pairs of Calvin Klein briefs in one mens' fitting room. Apparently the customer sneaked in with all the boxes -- or had a friend bring them is groups. We found the empty boxes. It appears that the dude put all the pairs on under baggy jeans -- the associate remembers what the suspected perp looked like. How he was able to walk is beyond me.

OOOOH!!! And then there was the guy and girl who got busted by one of our managers after they had been in a Polo fitting room for over a half hour. He knocked on the door and hear someone gasp and say "Oh, SHIT!" He peeked through the louvers just in time to see them... uh.. . interrupted in what they were doing on one of the chairs...

And I think you all can guess what that was.

Embarrassed as heck, he vacated the area. By the time he'd tried to reach LP, they had split.

We had the room cleaned thoroughly.

Damn kids.


Coitus interuptus? I would hate to be the cleaning lady who has to try to get bodily fluids off the walls.

I had a Macy's associate follow me into the dressing room one day. He was abundantly friendly if you know what I meant. I didn't think I could close the door soon enough! Come to think of it, they closed that dressing room the last time I was there.

Oooo! I gotta share this story.

I had a rather interesting couple come in to say the least. They were your stereotypical rednecks. The wife was rather portly and the husband reeked and had no teeth. They had come in and wanted to open a charge account. After I processed their request, they were denied and the husband kept on insisting his credit was good but I gave them a number to call if they wanted to know the status of their application. I remember wife saying something like "Them is fancy clothes ya' got here!" and proceeded to rub her belly as she she browsed several departments. Realizing that they weren't going to get a charge card, they left.

I clocked out and went over to my former Macy's to pick up some friends because we were planning to got out that night. Guess who I see over there? The two same rednecks and they were trying to open an account there as well! As I hid behind some racks to ogle them, I told my friend who was working the department of what happened. She said the wife wanted to buy some of the clothes that did not fit her and she made a mess in the dressing room. Security is watching them. I think they got rejected for Macy's card too and the husband was getting frustrated. My friend and I were too busy laughing because the wife seemed to be off in la la land and the husband was making a scene.
