Shopping Peeves!
I hate first of all when I don’t get acknowledged. I used to work retail while in college and the store even had a policy about greeting someone within the first 5 seconds (seconds people!) that they walked in the store. When I go into this store now (Nine West) and they don’t acknowledge me I’m right back out the door. I just feel like they either think I’m poor and am not going to buy anything or they don’t care if they sell anything. It’s very irritating
I hate when a store has their clothes arranged by color. I know I sound stupid right now but bear with me. Maybe I want the sweater but why can’t you group all the sweaters together and let me pick a color? Putting all tops of the same color together makes me feel like I need to pick a color. Maybe I don’t want to pick a color! Does anyone’s closet look like that? Maybe, but I’m betting not. I seriously can’t shop like that. I can’t remember the name of the store that I’m thinking of that does this.
I hate when it’s a mess. Now that doesn’t look like my closet either I have to have some kind of order or I don’t know what to wear. Forever 21’s stores are a mess. There’s no rhyme or reason. Granted I just said that the color coding drives me nuts but geez at least put all the same tops together, dresses together. Nope not at Forever 21. I have to shop online. Can you believe that! I can’t go in the store but I love their clothes. Somebody really needs to do something about that. Their racks are shoved together everything is all over the place. If a mannequin has on an outfit I like, I can’t even find the freaking outfit anywhere near her! And their stores are pretty big too. So I usually get frustrated and walk out.
These are my top three shopping pet peeves. I also hate the Christmas season because of the heavy crowds. I tend to avoid the mall during that time of year and try to get my shopping done online. What are your shopping peeves?
I hate when I can’t find anyone in the whole freaking store to help me.. I walk out when I can’t get someone.. I hate that!

I hate it when I walk into a store that obviously doesn’t carry my size and don’t get acknowledge. Just because I don’t wear a size two doesn’t mean that perhaps I can’t use their accessories or shoes. It’s like the sales people feel like I am wasting their time.
I also dislike the use of a cellphone. It’s gotten worse now that people have bluetooths. I don’t want to hear your conversation. I want to shop in peace.

I also despise when the stores are a wreck. I currently work in retail and our standards at my store are RIDICULOUSLY high, so our store is in tip top shape at all times. I feel you on the forever 21 store. Every time they have a visual merchandising position open, I want to apply SO BADLY. They need SERIOUS help.
I don’t REALLY mind if i’m not acknowledged right when I walk in (although it irks me because at my store, we have a person specifically for greeting), but if i walk or browse next to an associate, it would be nice if they smiled and asked if I needed anything.
but what bothers me even more are RUDE & OBNOXIOUS shoppers (of course, the ones that come into my store while i’m working). oh man, I could go on for days with that.
