I’m an etiquette coach – three things you should never do while you’re out shopping
AN etiquette coach has revealed three things you should never do while out shopping for clothing.
Maria Liassides, a London-based etiquette coach, took to TikTok to promote good manners and offer tips to anyone looking to purchase new articles of clothing or shoes.
According to the TikTok user, people should never try on shoes without socks on, never talk on the phone while shopping, and never leave an item in the wrong spot.
Maria, who also offers various other types of etiquette tips on her page, advises in one of her videos that shoppers should put their phones on silent mode while shopping in stores.
In the short video clip, Maria pretends to talk on her phone inside a store, prompting a nearby shopper to appear annoyed.

In another “store edition” etiquette video, shared on TikTok by Maria, the well-mannered woman advises people to carry clean socks to the store.
She suggests shoppers put on a clean pair before putting their feet inside a new shoe.
Lastly, in a 17-second video, Maria shows herself picking up a jacket in one part of the store, and putting down a different article of clothing in a spot where it doesn’t belong.
“If you change your mind, return the item to its place,” she explains in overlay text, as she walks a black puffy jacket to a rack where identical jackets are hanging.
