Leaving a Trail of Bread Crumbs

Around 7 PM an old woman walked into the store. She appeared to be like any other old woman shopping until she asked to use the restroom. I politely informed her that we didn't have one and redirected her to one nearby. She proceeded to the lingerie section and shortly after, I noticed a brown trail behind her that ran up her pant leg. I immediately told my manager and she called the Regional Manager for protocol on such a situation.

Instead of calling Waste Management, closing the store early and politely kicking the old woman out the store to get some Depends, we had to stay open for another hour and half, and then attempt to clean up the mess ourselves until someone showed up with a carpet shampooer.

Needless to say, the store smelled terrible for the next two weeks.

Found Treasure

While I was working the fitting room, I smelt something like fart. This happens often so I grabbed the air freshener and sprayed the entire place. As I was cleaning out a room for a customer, I found a plastic bag filled with poop tucked away in the corner.

4...3...2... Gone!

After a customer was done trying on her clothes, she forgot to grab the number off of the doorknob of her fitting room. Store guidelines required that I had this number for every customer who used a fitting room to prevent theft. Instead of retrieving it, she showed me on her hand and four fingers that represented the number that was supposed to be on her door. I asked her politely to please wait while I went and grabbed the number for her, but when I returned, she was already gone.

Lost Competition

A customer stopped me and asked me where the skinny jeans were. I pointed her to the direction where it was. Next, she asked me if we had a specific brand name jeans. I don't work for a department store. I work for a competing brand name store.
