Shop Etiquette

Every establishment you enter from your local park, bar, swimming pool etc. has conditions of entry.
Some conditions are clearly signed and others are just simply common sense or social norms.
You would expect something similar in your own home.

Having said that, I am constantly surprised by how some people behave in our shop. Perhaps the whole "used" tag sticks.

Perceptions I have gauged, real or imagined:-

This shop should be smelly, ugly, funny and cheap. Their behaviour is exactly that.

This shop is very expensive but second-hand who do they think they are. Treat Ms Nebraska Jones (formerley known as Tamzen)
like she's both stupid and poor.

School Holidays. "I'll pick something for you and you pick something for me to try on....just for fun!!!!" 20 garments later, on the floor,
inside out, trodden on and a million facebook photo's later. WTF!If you have ever wondered why we put up "Absolutely No Photography in store" signs, this is the why.

We actually don't mind the photography (except for teenage fb moments) but feel much better if we get asked first. Personally, I just think
that it's polite. Can't you get arrested in some countries for taking pictures willy nilly?

My personal favourite.

Early 30 something lady blasts through the shop, pulling and tugging at every garment in her wake, (delicate, lovely things)
yelling loudly "over-priced crap!!" looks at nothing understands nothing and leaves.

My least personal favourite.

Junkie girl, parts my racks and vomits behind the pidgeon holes that house our shoes. Lovely.

Just one of those days at Retro Metro.

To be cont......
