This is how it always happens. I am obviously in the midst of organizing, stacking, refolding and perfecting the table of your Levi's. There are jeans everywhere and a folding table and for awhile it's complete chaos. I know this and am trying my best to get it fixed for your shopping enjoyment. I've spent hours figuring out where to put all of the jeans the support team decided they needed out on the floor, not to mention the countless times I've walked back and forth to the register to determine whether a particular pair of jeans are even priced to be on this table (the answer is almost always, 'no', so my frustration mounts as I wonder which employee couldn't have taken the time to determine that the jeans are actually on the clearance rack and not regular priced). I do all of this for you, customer, so when you want to try on a pair of Levi's, you can easily find your size in its correct order, and your size with others of its kind. And for what? Apparently nothing, as you carelessly pull jeans from wherever you feel like as I'm organizing it all and then proceed to ask me if these come in long or regular length or where the bootcut ones are. All I ask if that you look before you touch, that you use your common sense to determine whether 'short', 'medium' or 'long' would be correct for you, and to just understand that when I say every pair of Levi's we own in the store are out on display and there is nothing in the stockroom, you believe me. Oh, and maybe be considerate of the fact that I spent hours making this table look awesome, and that only lasted three minutes before your stupid hands ruined it.
Working in retail makes me a better customer. It makes me appreciate the time they put into the displays and folding. It sucks that I spend so much time on a project only to have it destroyed after the weekend. And people wonder why sometimes I am not as perky by the end of my shift.
Also, this happened to me last night and I was really frustrated. I had a stack of jeans on the folding table, so there was a vacant spot on the display table. The lady put her 'collection' of jeans on that spot to admire and inspect them, so when I was done folding the jeans that needed to be there, she did not move until I explained how all the straight leg jeans were on one side, bootcut on the other. She then got a phone call and talked very loudly and asked whoever was on the phone 'but what time tomorrow night?' at least 6 times. In one minute. Then she tried on a bunch of jeans, brought most of them out to me (not the rack with a basket in it by the dressing rooms), and then asked if the skinny jeans we just got in came in long. There are seriously, maybe 15 or 18 pairs of those skinny jeans and they are all in a regular length. Most of our fall stuff only comes in regular length, I'm not sure of the exact reason, but I bet it's because it's new to the line and they probably don't care / want to risk sending or making short/longs until it's a hit. I looked briefly over the pile and told her no, and explained my reason to her and then she decided to look for herself, as if I wouldn't know. Later she brought out the skinny ones, was like, 'oops, look like I folded it the wrong way', asked me if the jeans hanging on the rack that said '50% off' only applied to those, like 6 pairs (duh), and when our current sale would end (Monday). It was awesome. I then finished folding all the jeans and went home, frustrated at the world.
