I work for a large department store chain, which i will refer to as "Anthracite's" (think about it, you'll probably figure it out.)
Anthracite's on the whole isn't a terrible place to work. the employees are mostly friendly, and the management is comprised of pleasant, though rather thick brained people.
I was originally hired to do ad setting. meaning that I maintain the signs on top of each fixture. Every so often, the great and mighty management team decided to put me on fitting room recovery duty. the womens fitting rooms are comprised of two large chambers each with ten rooms. so that makes twenty fitting rooms. usually only two employees are on duty at a time to keep them clean, so its a nonstop job. The thing about fitting rooms, is that there is a list of activities that should and should not take place in a fitting room.
THINGS THAT SHOULD TAKE PLACE IN A FITTING ROOM: wardrobe adjustment, trying on clothing, helping your child try on clothing, and did i mention..TRYING ON CLOTHING?
THINGS THAT SHOULD NOT TAKE PLACE IN A FITTING ROOM(and here's were it gets a tad icky) SEX. orgasms. wall art made from ejaculation. trading of your own smelly old clothes for our new ones that you think you will get away with wearing out and not buying.
when i get put on fitting room duty, i usually get teamed with a girl i will call L. L is very sweet, and is good at her job, but she is also very young, and short for her age. the effect of her knocking on a fitting room door when somebody is NOISILY doing something that should not be done in a fitting room,is about the same effect of a chihuahua barking at a wolfhound. Now, I stand at about 5'9, and i'm a tad heavy, and i also tend to wear combat boots to work. Apparently i come off as intimidating.
The usual scenario goes like this: L* Um...Sunflower... theres..people...like..screwing..in the fitting room. and i think there are kids in one of the other rooms..can you help?"
Me*rolls eyes* ew. yes. **Bangs on door of room ** OY! YOU! PULL OUT AND GET OUT BEFORE I CALL SECURITY!! **cue idiot teenagers rushing out of fitting room pulling their pants up.
and we really have had "wall art" made from ejaculation. the cleaning girl walked in, looked at it..and quit. I also don't understand why people don't get that its a FITTING ROOM not a TOILET. do you see toilet paper anywhere? do you see a TOILET? then for god's sake WHY did you just pee in the corner? and if it was an accident... the best thing to NOT do is come out of the fitting room, poke me and say "heh..I left ya a present."
Anthracites has two sections of Fitting rooms. one for men, one for women. womens is on one side of the store, mens is on the other. which means, if you are a guy, you have to walk ALL the way to the other side of the store to get to the womens fitting rooms...which guys are banned from using. scenario goes like this. :SC-sucky male customer. SS-myself.
SC* attempts to use ladies fitting room.
SS* Sir, I'm sorry, but you can't use that room, its for women only, the mens room is located on the other side.
SC* but.i'm on THIS side. *attempts to enter ladies rooms*
SS* stands in his way.** Sir, i'm sorry but you can NOT use this room its for WOMEN.
SC* Well..I don't know where the mens fitting room is anyway.!
SS* turns him around.** see the rack where u got that shirt? its. RIGHT. NEXT.TO > THE RACK.

SS* *FACEPALM.
