Many of you are up to your neck in Christmas shopping. One week from today is Black Friday, a day of shopping madness. As you are out and about in stores, use this handy guide to help you understand what retail-sales clerks really mean.
1. “Can I help you find a size?”
(Don’t touch that, I just spent an hour folding it and I don’t need your hands messing it up again.)
2. “Do you need help with anything?”
(Quick, my manager is coming around the corner and I need to look busy.)
3. “Welcome to __________”
(Good, another customer to mess up my entire store just to buy a pair of socks.)
4. “Have a nice day!”
(Now that you ruined mine.)
5. “Thank you for shopping at _____________”
(Thanks for emptying your wallet with us!)</span>
6. “Do you need a shopping cart to help you carry your items?”
(The more you can carry, the more you can buy!)</span>
7. “I love your shirt! Where did you get it?”
(Your shirt is much nicer than the clothes we sell here. Why are you even shopping here?)</span>
8. “Can I help you get something down?”
(I’ll get the ladder for you since this other nice customer put in the absolute wrong place.)</span>
9. “Don’t worry about folding it, I can do it”
(You would just mess it up again if you folded it.)</span>
10. “No, we don’t have any more in the back”
(I just don’t want to check.)</span>
