Those who work in retail, have worked in retail, or may eventually work in retail have a term they apply to people such as yourself. This is the technical term mind you and I am relating it verbatim. You are referred to as a Asshole. Thats the technical term for you based upon what you are doing. Going through life making life harder for other people merely because it serves your purposes.

The employees have to clean up your mess. Not only are they required to maintain the system that is determined without their consent. They also use the system to recall where certain items are. You know to help your fellow customer find what they want in a timely manner. Your even wasting the retailers money by making the operation less efficient. The result things cost more.

Seriously would you like someone walking through the place you work randomly rearranging things. I am pretty sure you wouldn't appreciate it in your home. Your there to shop so do it, and leave everyone else alone. They weren't bothering you in the first place. You like a game pick it up for a friend, or tell your friend about it.

Above all else stop being an asshole. Thats what people are calling you when they have to spend their valuable time undoing your damage. Thats what the customer who has to spend more time then needed to find that item is becoming. You want to be a good person right?

In general no... but I have occationally forgot my printout from metacritic...



I much prefer retail workers that know what the hell they are talking about, and at the hint of bias I go elsewhere without question.



@ Dodece: Thanks.

@ SeriousWB: I don't work at a retailer. I just occasionally, when looking around or buying a game, fool around a little and mess up the shelf space a bit in the advantage of the undersold games at the expense of oversold games.



I like the post-it note idea... very student tomfoolery-esque.

Not really, but if im in a game store and I hear a parent about to purchase a horrendous game for their children I kindly put in my opinion so they dont waste £50 on spiderman 3.

I think you need a new hobby :)



I disagree with Zack and Wiki being good, but you have your opinions, and I have mine.



Sometimes I want to butt in when I hear a store clerk making stuff up to get customers to buy one thing or another, or pretend like they know what they are talking about. I just want to take the customer by the hand and tell them how it really is.
