So this happened today:

I was cleaning up the furniture department in the store I work at, because it's always nice to keep things looking nice, there were this group of ladies sitting on the couches and chairs surrounding a coffee table with all their clothes (i mean, ****ty taste in fashion) on it. An hour or so went by and they were asked to leave the area since they were just sitting there and that's basically intruding the department by not letting others see the merchandise on the floor, the manager asked them to leave, and as they were walking away, my manager says "you need to take the clothes as well" (since they left everything they were looking at on the table), they looked at her as if she was crazy, and they literally felt like it wasn't their job to clean up their own mess. Than a few minutes passes and this younger girl with a snarky attitude decides to comment on the situation saying "well, you guys work here" and my manager and myself both comment back stating that if you take something off the rack, just bring it to the front so an associate can put it back instead of it taking up space in the department, my manager also added that she can feel free to shop around if she still wants to. The girl retorted by saying "psh, i don't shop at ghetto stores" in which I responded, "well, then you can leave", and my manager backed me up on that too, and the girl agreed to leave the store where I added "we appreciate it". Than they go to the register and they were caught by one of the cashiers of switching the tags of the clothes, because the tags didn't match the merchandise, even though it was obvious they didn't want to shop their in the first place.

Second part of my irritating day. I've got this coworker who will NOT (even with constant guidance) clean up the area that WE work in. I came into the store at 9am today, and he had closed last night, and I had to clean up his mess that he left the night before even though we were strictly told to clean up when we close (which I always do, and have been told I do a great job at doing so), so i'm there spending the first part of my day picking up his mess and organizing everything so I can get to work, it gets to about 1pm, and he comes in and starts his shift, and everything in the work area looks really neat and tidy, not even ten minutes passes and the place is trashed again. Needless to say, I didn't even bother trying to clean up his mess at all today, I went ahead and focused on my department on the floor instead of working in the back. I'm seriously considering talking to one of my managers tomorrow, because I don't need to spend the first part of my day, cleaning up after his mess when he knows very well that he shouldn't do what he's doing. I also feel like reporting him may be bad for me because I don't want to seem like a snitch. So, i'm not too sure what to do about that.

Anyway, that was my day.
