While in college I signed up to work at Macy's during the holiday season (they were hiring seasonally for the longer hours). I lasted 1 day in the Juniors clothing section. It was an absolute disaster. Clothes and hangers just thrown on the floor in piles everywhere. Literally. I was there until almost 2 am fixing everything. I hated everyone so much that night.

I quit the next day.

I worked at a similar store around ten years ago. We would find dirty diapers stuffed into displays, chewing gum stuck to items, this list goes on. People are gross.

I've found used tampons, very dirty underwear and a crack pipe in a Kohls fitting room. This Kohls was in a nice area of Connecticut

Vile, not even remotely surprised!

Reminds me of when I worked at Staples during back to school. Line was all around the store and I also worked the closing shift till around 1 AM cleaning the place up. Not sure how Macy's is, but the air conditioning in Staples gets turned off after the store is closed.

I lasted 2 weeks working in the infant dept for the holidays. It was a hot mess w/ no supervision. I would end up hiding in McDonald's & just kind of making myself look busy tidying here & there. First job ever & I knew immediately Macy's was not for me. The one time I was made to use the register I was soo nervous & it was of course a Saturday in December. A nightmare.
