That was me, minus the disorders. I'm pattern oriented and something breaking the pattern would drive me up a wall and things just weren't right in the world unless it was fixed to fitting the pattern, since guests will also notice the pattern break and think the area trashy. There's things wrong with my brain, but pattern recognition isn't one of them, pattern recognition is a normal thing. Yeah, I was slow, but it was right and the guests would appreciate knowing that things can be easily found in the right spot.
At the end I half-assed it for speed because they were so constantly on my back about "faster". The area looked like trash because patterns were broken.
Softlines is harder to explain, best way is back when there was Xhilaration having someone put a black lace dress on a rack with black lace dresses of a different lace pattern, little variation of cut. I hated that, because the differences in lace pattern and arm cuts, I knew guests would spot that in seconds and think the section messed up, so inaccuracy for speed was trashy. Another one were the folded Merona/AND tee shirts, two were identical cut but the texture was obviously different and the dpci was also different, I was constantly having to redo the stacks to get the right shirts in the right stacks, because guests will notice the fabric difference.
A hardlines example would be looking down an aisle and 8 feet or so is filled with blue boxes but there's one or two boxes where the blue pattern is different or it's purple or the box is a different size, guests notice that and it's huge and glaring and shows someone didn't care about making sure the right stuff is where it should be. I'm not being sarcastic or facetious, people notice that because the breaks in patterns are far more obvious than the items themselves.
It sucks that Target and leadership wants a yucky store rather than a right store that will leave a huge, huge impression on guests. People will walk out is the pattern is too broken because it shows a lack of caring.
