Throw-down or People Are Stupid

  I was rounding one of the many clothing racks on the floor at JCP. There are racks and racks crowded with articles of clothing. As I turned the corner, there lying on the floor were a bunch of the clothes, still on hangers, but strewn every which way, probably several  dozen items. I wondered if a prospective customer  was planning to take them into a fitting room, or maybe had returned them and just dropped them off.
    A salesclerk came up to another, who evidently was thinning out the clothes rack, as it was too crowded for customers to pull out what they wanted. "I don't want to criticize you," she told her. "But it is totally against the rules to put anything on the floor, ever.  And if you are reported for that, you will be certain to be called in."
    The offending clerk replied, "Well, does that mean if something slips off the rack onto the floor, we're not supposed to hang it back up?"
