To those of you who tie your shoes together

This weekend I was at work when I decided that I have a new biggest pet peeve. I work at a bowling alley called Fatcats. I like working there because I get a meal for free whenever I work and it's a pretty chill job, but I can't stand one thing. I don't like when people tie the bowling shoes together before they give them back to us. It would be fine if just one person did it and I didn't have a lot of shoes to put away but that is never the case. On Saturdays when Fatcats is always super busy, there are always a whole counter of shoes to put away and half of the pairs are always tied together (and last Saturday when I worked, I had to stay after my shift to put away shoes even though I had somewhere to go). I have to untie the shoes before I am able to put them away because they cannot fit correctly in the shoe slots while tied together. So having shoes tied together always doubles the time it takes to put away shoes. which means that the line of people waiting to be helped gets super long. If the line is super long that usually makes customers upset, and I don't like being yelled at by customers. In conclusion, please don't tie your shoes together. I would rather you don't tie your shoes at all than for you to tie your shoes together.

You should make a sign so that when people return their shoes they can read that. I bet most people think they are helping you.
