However, you could unintentionally be making their jobs more difficult without even realizing it.

Here are four common dressing room behaviors that retail workers actually dislike.
Refolding Garments and Placing Them Back on the Shelf
Weve all been there.
The once perfectly folded stack has become a disaster.
The hangers and the garment have to face a particular way.
Most times, the customer puts the garment back incorrectly, says Sims.
Its okay to leave your unwanted clothing with a clerk so they can put it back correctly.
If you’re not sure what to do, check with the retail worker.
But this isnt a polite thing to do, because it can create major problems for the stores staff.
Hiding items makes inventory count off, says Sims.
It is not as inconvenient to ask the clerk to place the item on hold as you think.
Sims tells me customers would say things such as, I am looking for a dress for my daughter.
She is about your size but her breasts are larger or her butt is not as big.
This can lead to body dysmorphia and body shaming.
So, find another way to reframe your description, and leave the retail worker out of it.
For example, Im looking for a dress for my daughter.
She has a curvy body with a large bust and a smaller butt.
