The crimes come in thick and fast. Stupid customers, stupid colleagues and photo documentation of some down right awful things.

It never stops for the Bra Police...

Shirt issues

(Cust has phoned four times before the store is open, on the fifth try EM picks it up)

EM: How can I help?
Cust: I was wondering if you had a shirt in stock, I was going to phone mail order but they are not open on Sundays are they?
EM: No they're not, what shirt were you looking for?
Cust: The white shirt if you have any, the white shirt thats for summer, with short sleeves, its white and very plain. Do you have it?
EM: We do, what size?
Cust: A 12
EM: A 12...?
Cust: No, a 10, the smallest size you do.
EM: Ok, I'm just going to put you on hold while I have a look

(EM checks the tag of one thats near by, does a check of the stock and sees that there isn't any in stock)

EM: I'm sorry but we don't have one here
Cust: I can always phone mail order tomorrow to check
EM: Ok...
Cust: one quick question, is it a 30 degree wash on the instructions?
EM: Let me go and check

(EM puts the cust on hold and has a look, grumbling about picking up the phone, VG overhears)

VG: Is it an old woman?
EM: Yeah
VG: Tell her you need to call her back or you will be on there all day
EM: I know...

(EM picks up the phone)

EM: It is a 30 wash
Cust: Do you have it? I put all my washing on a mixed cycle at 40 as its a terrible waste for just a few items to do it on 30, does it shrink
EM: I'm sorry but I don't know as no one here has it
Cust: Do you have other things?
EM: Yes..
Cust: do you wash them at 40? Are they ok or do they shrink terribly?
EM: They're fine at 40 but I would recommend that you follow the washing instructions as there is no guarantee that the shirt won't shrink
Cust: But you wash on 40 an they are fine?
EM: (Getting impatient) Yes, but I would advise that you follow the washing instructions as there is no...
Cust: But I'm asking if yours are fine
EM: As I said to you, mine are but we advise that you follow the washing instructions as there is no guarantee that the shirt will not shrink...
Cust: I see... I will phone and order it tomorrow
EM: Bye.

(EM then checks the washing instructions on her dress, it recommends a 40 degree wash...)
