Reversed Flag
i had a run in with this thrift store this past Christmas season when i went in with my backpack on, and the clerk insisted on checking it in...
Which, upon asking, i discovered that this entailed, just setting it down behind the counter.
What annoys me about this policy; is that none of the stores that i've been to that require large bags and such to be checked in, don't really have a procedure for it.
The correct way to handle this, would be to have shelves for this, and attaching a numbered tag to the bag, and give the patron a matching number.
This system is still flawed, but it's slightly better than the nonexistent one.
The perfectly honest problem that i see with it, is that the person taking my bag will leave for a moment, another clerk will take her place, and then a ner'er do well will come along and buy something, then say; 'Oh & could i get my bag back." and she will hand it to him.
Of course; The store has a very firm policy of NOT being responsible in any way for the lost bag...!
So i just never shop at these places again.
You don't trust me, and i don't trust you!
