Hints from Heloise

Dear Heloise: I work in a grocery store. One of my biggest concerns is people who pick up meat, frozen items and perishables and leave them anywhere in the store.

You would not believe how our store looks at the end of the day. Shoppers leave things everywhere. People drop their shopping lists, tissues and gum wrappers in every conceivable place. Just take the product to the register – the cashier will make sure it gets back to its home.– Frustrated in Little Rock, Ark.

Dear Frustrated: Many in retail stores, clothing stores, convenience stores, bookstores, etc., see the same apparently “oblivious to others” actions of customers. I’m not sure how to help, except to say please think before you act. – Heloise
