I worked retail in Australia and they used the same language. Though I only worked at Dick Smith (entirely during it being a WOW company) so it could’ve just been WOW language. However by the time I left I’d completely adopted the language and have used it in passing when e.g. asking someone something in another store, and they all seemed to get it.
- “There’s only one facing of these hard drives”.
- “There aren’t customers, go face up”.
I haven’t worked retail in well over a decade yet I still sometimes subconsciously face up shelves when I go shopping, especially if I take something off a shelf. It’s a curse.
