When working in retail, there is a certain feeling that creeps in after so long and it causes for the wonder: What’s wrong with these people?

 

Thou shall not pluck at clothes

Thou shall not leave Thine drinks on shelves

Thou shall not go to the fitting rooms

And ask, “May I try this on?”

For what reason would there be

To have a fitting room if trying on clothes

Was not the intent?

Thou shall not leave clothes or hangers

Or tags or other items behind

When leaving the fitting rooms

Thou shall check merchandise for a tag
If Thou should fail to find one

Thou shall bring one with a tag

And explain the situation to the cashier

Thou shall not utter “It must be free”

For, Thy and Thou both know that is not free

Thou shall not steal or raise suspicion of theft

For Thou shall do time in jail, for Thy eyes are watching

Thou shall not ask obvious questions

Such as “Where is the restroom?”

And, “Does Thee work here?”

For, Thy and Thou both know

Thy does not wear a name tag all the time

Thou shall wait patiently in line

And Thou shall not hurry the cashier

For Thy speed shall drop when rushed

Thou shall not complain about merchandise

For Thy interest is withering

Thou shall be polite and thank

Thou shall make small talk

But Thou shall not attempt to help the cashier

For Thou does not help in such attempt

Thou shall pay with exact change

Only if the line is short

Thou shall have ID ready when using credit cards

Thou shall not make a fuss

When asked to see ID for credit cards
Thou shall not allow children to run wild

Thou shall not shush, hush or psst

If it is more disruptive than the child

Thou shall use common sense

Thou shall follow instructions

If thou chooses not, and turns a deaf ear

To These commandments laid out,

Thou shall have a poor shopping experience

For I am the cashier.
