    If I had a $$$ for every time a customer made me look out back for something I knew for a FACT we did not have... I could retire! & then they say something snarky, like 'you didn't spend much time looking!'. I KNOW! Because it WASN'T there!

    This is so accurate, especially the "just give it to me". Another thing, I work in a shoe department, and I don't think people realize how much less time it takes to just put the shoe in the box when you're done trying it on. Even if it's not neat and you don't put it away right, a ton of time is spent trying to figure out what show goes into which box
