Working retail, especially clothing, seems to be one of the easiest ways to become disillusioned with humanity.

Nothing like picking up a pile of clothes in a changing room covered in feces to brighten up your day.




Oh yea I've heard plenty of horror stories with clothing shops too; I worked at a chain very similar to CVS, one of the smaller stores in the district but some of the highest foot-traffic. My only solace from and during those times was that many of the people that I worked with and met through there were truly amazing, and I remain great friends with most of them today--it's definitely an environment that can evoke a brothers-in-arms type of feel


To be fair, what do you expect a customer to do in case of an emergency of that kind? What would you do?


To literally deal with their own shit! At the very least pay for it and dispose of it yourself.


I thought the law considers it to be store property. You don't ask your guests to pay if they accidentally break something in your house.


> the law considers it to be store property

So we can call it vandalism then. And I would certainly ask my guests for some reparations if they defecated on my clothes/floor and then walked out like nothing happened, and I certainly would not invite them back!


Vandalism would imply intention. If it is the case, you are absolutely right.
