Keep In Mind The Next Time You Visit A Retail Store...

I've been employed at American Eagle for a couple of months now. The people I work with are awesome, it's the customers that come in to shop that I can't stand. As soon as someone walks through that door they are transformed to little children set out to wreck everything in sight. For example, when you're looking through a stack of shirts trying to find your size and it's not close to the top, please for the love of God let someone who works there get it for you. And you're probably thinking, “Well golly gee Macon, that seems silly to bother an employee just to get my shirt.” First of all, it's our job to work with clothes, we don't have some secret ulterior assignment. If we're working on the floor, it's our job to serve you and if we're charming, convince you to buy a whole bunch of crap you really don't need. Secondly, chances are more likely that if someone hasn't already asked to help you, they're watching you just waiting for you to destroy the table they just made perfect. Also, keep in mind when we come and ask you for help with anything it is our job to do so! Don't be rude, we're just doing our job and trying to help you find everything you want and need. If we don't ask everyone in our designated area of the store, we'll more than likely get chewed out by a manager in the little walkies we wear!

I will keep everything in mind if I walk in to an American Eagle store. a least your one of the employees who care about how the store looks, other stores don't care at all clothes are everywhere and people refuse to help you, (maybe they need a manager like yours, minus the walkie-talkie thing).So keep up the good work.
