I hang them up and try to put them back from where I got them if there isn’t a rack or an attendant. I will confess to sometimes sticking them in the wrong places when I can’t remember where they were originally.
I thought at first that this thread had been prompted by the Sears dressing rooms (Hi, Flutterby!). I shop at Deerfoot all the time (same stuff, half the price, in walking distance from my house - what’s not to like?), and I routinely have to clean out my dressing room before I can start trying on my own clothes. I don’t put things back on the racks, but I sure do appreciate having an empty changing room to start with so my pile of things can be put on the hooks.
I wonder if the people who just dump the clothes they don’t want or leave them in the change room also leave all their garbage on the table in the mall food court?
I’m 30.
I used to re-hang them and return them to the rack where I got them from. I’ve since realized, however, that I suck at rehanging clothing in the proper store style, and it is people like me trying to be helpful that make clothing racks messy so I wasn’t doing anyone any favours.
Instead, I do a half-assed job of re-hanging things–so they aren’t just tossed on the floor or otherwise damaged–and then:
A) return them to the attendant if there’s a generic fitting room attendant
B) return them to the clothes return rack, if there is one
C) leave them hanging in the fitting room, if I have a sales clerk attending me
Funnily enough, my friend who leaves garbage on the table in the mall food court doesn’t leave clothes in the dressing room (at least that I’ve noticed).
That’s a weird disconnect there.
I just take her garbage with me to drop in the bin. I’m going that way anyway.
Maybe I’m the closest thing to a dumper you’ll get in here!
If there’s no attendant or obvious spot for returns, I make sure nothing is on the floor or in a heap and leave. I can’t fold clothes or hang them properly for my life - I’m not going to be helping anyone by pretending that I can. It is the attendants’ job to make the clothes presentable for sale by hanging them nicely and putting them back where they belong. Which isn’t to say I mistreat clothes I’m trying on, I do my best not to.
Yes, I rehang or refold

Why? because I was taught to clean up after myself. Because the retail workers already work hard enough. Because I would want someone to do it for me. Because I don’t want to buy crumples, make-up smeared clothes.
Some stores don’t let you put things back, but I still hang them up and hand them to the attendant.
Don’t you just gag from that? I wouldn’t buy make-up smeared clothes if they offered me 40% off. It just gags me.
Male, 28. I put them back on the hanger (best as I can) and either on the rack, on the restock rack or to the attendant as appropriate.
I had a girlfriend about 10 years ago that just left them in a pile in the dressing room. She learned this from her mother, who once went so far to write “You should do your job yourself” on a sign in the Target dressing room that requested customers to re-hang items and return them to the restock rack.
