Just a couple retail lessons I need to get off my chest. Not that I think any of you do this stuff, I just need to vent (tourist season is definitely here).

• You really, really don't need to unfold every shirt you see. And when you're done with them, you really, really don't need to throw it back down in a ball.
• When knocking something on the floor, it'd be nice if you picked it back up.
• If you make a mess you can't clean up, please let me know so I can take care of it right away before it gets worse.
• If the sign on the store says "closed," don't come in and say, "I flipped your sign for you!" There may be an actual reason for the "closed" sign; also, it does take me a minute to open the place after I unlock the door, so don't ask to follow me in.
  
• Please don't get mad at me if I don't know if that particular shirt will shrink when you wash it. I'm sorry, I don't own and wash every single item myself.
• If I say "hello" to you, it'd be nice if you responded with even just a smile and definitely don't say "just looking" to my hello. I wasn't about to hassle you.
• Don't give me a nasty look when I tell YOUR child not to open the toys. This isn't actually a playroom, we're trying to sell that stuff.
• While some may think I look young, I do actually know what I'm doing and you don't need to look for the older employee to validate you.
• If you ask me what time I close and that time was five minutes ago, please take that as a hint that I'd like to go home now, its been a long day.

Rereading these, I sound a little b-wordy, but believe me, I could come up with TONS more. I'll refrain myself though.
