I work at New Look – the gross reason why we hate working on changing rooms & it’s our fault you can’t find your size
IF YOU are a fan of high-street shopping, it’s highly likely that you will have stepped foot into New Look once or twice.
Gorgeous clothes for bargain prices, what’s not to love?!
GettyA New Look worker has shared secrets about what it’s like to work for the high-street retailer[/caption]
Well, one New Look employee has spilled the tea on what it’s really like to work at the chain, and you’ll be shocked to know some of the things they have to deal with.
An anonymous employee took to Buzzfeed, to share secrets that New Look staff will never tell you, and it’s safe to say that some of them have left us shocked.
The employee said that “size-ordering clothes” is a nightmare and is the “bane of our lives”.
But although size-ordering the clothes is a bit of a chore, working on the changing rooms is even worse.

The employee added: “working on the changing room is hands down the worst job.”
And no, it’s not just because there’s a lot of clothes to tidy up, it’s much worse than that…
The anonymous worker said: “Not only do customers never put their clothes back on the hangers, but we also have to deal with couples trying to sneak into changing rooms together.
“We’ve also seen every type of bodily fluid on the changing room floors, including vomit and urine.”

Well if that didn’t put us off retail work then we’re not sure what would…
Much to our surprise, the employee added that “customers manage to buy two odd shoes more often than you’d expect.”
Although New Look workers are “supposed to scan shoes separately to make sure customers don’t go home with two left feet or two different sizes, somehow it still ends up happening.”
Hence the reason why the employees hate working on the shoe section.

The staff member added: “being asked to cover the shoe section on a Saturday afternoon is the absolute worst.
“No matter how long you spend matching up the pairs, the shoes will end up in a massive pile in the middle of the floor.”
If you’re ever wondering why you can’t find your size in something – it might be the fault of the workers…
The employee said “we all want to work during the early morning delivery” because “as soon as the delivery arrives, we get first pick of the new items.
“Which means that if only one of each size comes in, the most popular items never even make it to the shop floor.”
If you’ve ever bought something, worn it and then decided to return it – New Look employees can see straight through it.
The shop worker continued: “We can tell when you wear your clothes and then return them.
“It’s obvious when your clothes smell a bit funny that that you’ve worn them out with the label on. Come on!”

And that’s not all, they “can also tell when you bring red markers in and reduce our prices yourselves.
“We know that those new leather jackets aren’t half price and we don’t recognise the handwriting.”
