Shopping rant

[boris1gary]

Why put security tag things through both sleeves of dresses that make it almost impossible to try the dress on and can also damage the product - fgs there is also a security tag on the side anyway - if shoplifting is a problem EMPLOY MORE STAFF - that is the most effective way to limit theft.

thanks

rant over.

I carry a little blade which I use to cut the plastic which joins some shoes together (in the cheap shops) so I can try both shoes/slippers on.

How very frustrating., Boris.

I wonder if the Staff Casuals might be involved.  

You know, the brainy uni students with no common sense.  

My latest rant is about the lack of mirrors in K-Mart's clothing section.

It's so dumb, one of the dresses had been ruined by it, it was silk and the constant weight of the security thing had done damage and it was the last one. They also put them in places the ruin the fit and fall of some things.

Staff can't be everywhere and it takes less than 2 seconds to get a lightwieght dress stuffed into a bag

and the pros are really good at it, waiting for that two second window where the staff are not looking.

Re the damage, that is a staff issue with them either not knowing where to put them or realising.

Big W make-up section now has tags so you can't remove the item from the steel bar thingo which holds the item on the bar. No staff in the make up section to remove the tag. I wanted a brow pencil for the princess so I had to rush off to priceline.

I remember when my daughter was a pre-teen.........we were shopping for school clothes at Wallyworld, and I watched as a mother with two teen daughters was buying underwear for them.  One kid would hold up a thong, and while mom was saying. "Cold day in hell".......the other was slipping a couple into the shopping cart.....  Mom finally abandoned the cart and left with the two in tow......hah, try saying that 3 times quickly.

Yes, I bought my hubby a polo shirt that he never ended up wearing, it had permanently puckered and looked like a nipple he reckoned.

Hard to work out, why that was done. Very annoying.

I wouldn't blame it on this group though:
