For example:

• Sometimes you might see a BCBG dress at lunch and put it on hold.
• Sometimes you might shop around after work and then decide to purchase the dress you put on hold.
• Sometimes you might go to the register at the department store you put said dress on hold and Sales Associate #1 can’t find it.
• Sometimes Sales Associate #1 will send you to find Sales Associate #2 to check the stockroom.
• Sometimes Sales Associate #2 will check the stockroom and come back empty handed.
• Sometimes you go back to the rack where you picked up said dress and they don’t have your size anymore.
• Sometimes you will go back to Sales Associate #1 with the same dress not in your size so she can see what dress you are looking for.
• Sometimes you might end up helping Sales Associate #1 find the dress in her pile of holds.
• Sometimes because didn’t get mad or weren’t a giant asshole, Sales Associate #1 will “accidentally” ring up said dress for a grand total of $18.95.

BOOM.

Being nice pays off- literally.
