Alt text: a text post that reads: Work in retail long enough, and you'll eventually realize the rules for dealing with Customers are exactly the same as dealing with the Fae:

Avoid eye contact.
Never reveal your full name.
Accept nothing They offer you.
Never verbally agree or disagree with anything They might happen to say.
To apologize is to acknowledge a debt owed.
Under no circumstances are you ever to thank Them.
Remember that They are incapable of reading signs in human languages.

I do this.

I used to work in grocery, and I know how to do the job quite well, even after being out of the industry for a long time. When I come up to a shelf that I know the workers have recently done up to look proper, I will take what I need, then fix the shelf so it looks the same when I leave.

If I spot a box of product behind the box I just took the last product out of, I'll toss the empty in behind and bring the full one forward, because I'm not a neanderthal.

Grocery workers aren't paid enough as is and they have enough work without me adding to their workload. I loathe anyone who picks up products, then leaves them elsewhere in the store, especially if it's something perishable like meat, dairy, or frozen goods. Fuck those people. Is it really so hard to either take it back to where you found it, or at least find an employee and ask them to return it so it doesn't spoil? Don't be a lazy fuck. You have to go talk to the cashier when you check out, so give it to them. If they let it spoil, that's not your fault nor your problem, just try. FFS.
