Why limit the number of items in a change room?
Someone in G+ knows the answer to this… Today I went to the change room at a popular us clothing store with 9 items and joined a lengthy line of ladies wanting to try on clothes. We all had to hang our items and then get a silly number to go into the change room… i was of course informed 9 is 'too many' , 8 is the max… and I would need to get dressed and come back out for the one item.
Annoying. Fine. But when all was said and done and I came out of the change room, handed over the number, but i kept some of the items because i was purchasing them. She didnt bother counting them and i had already walked away.
I realize there is some sense of anti theft security in these number systems… but really.. what is the point? Is she going to run after me because 8 items didnt come out? Never happened to me.. so why not let me take 9 items in…

8? here, the limit is 3. #firstworldproblems ? :)
Technically the person giving you the number is supposed to check how many items come back out, including the ones you are going to buy. Obviously this clerk doesn't bother. It was designed to help stop theft.
:)
Could happen.
I got tackled the other day leaving a store.
I wasn't stealing anything, but I got pretty hurt.
So...
Yeah... I just don't argue anymore. People's is crazy, who knows what kind of day they've been having. And I've had 'em snap on me.
Yes - you got the theory right - but on minimum wage there is a tendency to stick to the rules whilst not actually doing the counting or caring... :o)
Maybe they limit the number of items so you don't hog the changing room all day .. and they're just being polite by accusing you of being a potential thief (after all, seems suspecting everyone of being a criminal is the 'in thing' these days.) lol
theft issues
Well, I guess in an effort to stem loss from theft the company established a limit. The employee just didn't do the math.
what I don't understand is if they are counting the items that go in...
why the limit in the first place.
They limit the number because they want you to be selective and not try every thing in their store.. also it takes time to put the items you didn't want back on the rack and they want everyone to get opportunity to get the item.. i think!
They count to potato.
