A total of 70% of retail workers said their experience of harassment from customers had made them consider seeking employment outside of retail. Circle K Ireland Managing Director Gordon Lawlor said that while the vast majority of its customers behave appropriately, they are increasingly seeing incidents of unacceptable behaviour towards staff.
"Being kind and respectful towards workers in retail settings should be the norm and, in our society, we really should not have to remind people of the need to behave in the right way," he added.
