Read the Signs

I work in a two-story department-style store with its own lingerie section, complete with three cash registers that we never use. We utilize the counters, but not the registers. It is common for customers to approach the registers and expect to be rung up. Polite customers typically approach with caution and ask "Are you open?" While more brash women will march straight up and throw their bras at me with a blank stare.

We were closing the store for the night, so I began cleaning a display near the cash register area. Two European tourists marched up and threw their bras on the counter before even checking to see if there was a sales associate present. One of them then looked around, spotted me, and yelled, "Hello? Can I get some service?" I stood up and apologized saying that these registers were not open. She gave her friend an annoyed look, picked her things up angrily and as she stormed off, she remarked over her shoulder, "You need to put up a sign, then."

The display on all three of the registers were facing out and read,"Register closed. Register closed. Register closed."

This is why I Work 2 Rant.
