Do you clean up your messes in a store?

Like reorganizing the product after you riffle through it.

Good god, no. What’s the benefit to doing that? Why would I be motivated to do so?

@elbanditoroso Boredom and wanting to help out. If everyone did I pretend that the prices would go down. I was a shelf stocker and I had fun stocking shelves.
I wouldn’t want to leave a mess for the next shopper.

I will to some extent. But the circumstances vary tremendously, and my reaction to those circumstances also varies. I am by no means obsessed with ordering shelves, and if I walk up on a mess, the odds are that it will be there when I leave.

So @RedDeerGuy1 you want to put a grocery clerk out of work by everyone else doing the shelves?

And what kind of mess do you make? Just grab want you want and leave your Rona tainted hands off the stuff someone else wants.

@zenvelo It is just a habit that I acquired when I was a grocery store clerk.
Just wondering if I was the only one?

@RdG, this is absolutely not the time to be rearranging grocery shelves!

Just. Don’t. Do. It!

Thank you! I work in grocery. We have enough to do. Putting things back in their place because customers don’t after moving them makes my day longer.

Trust me, nobody is losing work because some people are thoughtful of their actions and want to help out.

@zenvelo People who are short on money often go through products priced by weight to find the cheapest item. I’m assuming you haven’t had to do this. Try not to be so judgmental. Some of us can’t afford the first item on display.

My first real job was cleaning up after people in movie theaters. It was a nightmare. And it got even ten times worse once we started serving nachos.

25% of the people actually put their garbage in the bins once the movie is over. Everybody just leaves shit. Melted soda cups on the floor, spilled popcorn, mushed up hot dogs, motherforking trays full of nacho “cheese”. And my goddamn favorite, chew cups. Nothing is better than running down a dark aisle and you feel your foot hit a cup. And then you just feel the warm soak into your pants and into your shoes. Goddamn rednecks.

Due to this I clean up after myself. If I am a store and am in line and realize I no longer want something I will get out of line and walk all the way across the store to put the item back from where I got it. And in restaurants I will scrape all the leftovers from everyone onto a single plate.

If you want a maid.. Hire one.

If I were to make a mess, I’d straighten it out.
