Any guesses on the retailer?

exactly. working in the shop, there are plenty of stories from this side of the counter: people who say they were in a few days (really months) ago; don't know what they want other than it has a red and white label; or feel that just because we have chairs, it's the staff's job to entertain them for 3 hours of meaningless blather.LIPH wrote:In my younger days when I had a very bad temper and very little patience, a customer once told me "The customer is always right." I told her "Most of the time the customers don't know what the hell they're talking about." And I didn't get fired.Sidew13 wrote:And as a former salesman please remember it's a two way street.

The last job I had was with a Goodyear tire shop, and our store had a in-store credit program. On the FIRST day of the job a man walked in, I greeted he, and he started jumping my case. He claimed that last month when he made his payment, "I" screwed something up. I proceded to try to tell him differently but he cut me off saying it was me. Finaly I got a word in and said this was my first day, and couldn't have done anything last month. He then demanded the manager, who had to explain that this was indeed my first day. He never said an apology or that he was sorry.TropicalTroubador wrote:Abso-fraggin-lutely!

This is just one of a million I could tell. And I'm sure so could EVERYONE else who has delt with the public for any lenght of time. Now when I'm in a store and hear a customer get irate for no reason, I make comments about how stupid some people are. Then I tell the worker that there should be a law where as they could cary a ball bat for just such a case.

I'm suprised you found enough there to spend that much money.

I have had many jobs - including sales and not once was I ever rude to anyone... even if I wasn't having the best of days. Why take it out on strangers... yet it seems more and more places I go lately I get poor attitudes... unfriendly faces and people who could care less to help... BUT they always seem to be easier to remember so I try harder to remembe the friendly smiles and the sales people who went out of there way to help me... bc they are still out there!
On the other end... I think the rudest customer (not mine but I was behind her in line at Walgreens photo in Boca Raton) - She was actually so rude it was funny bc she was yelling at the clerk because he ruined her son's first bthday party pictures..... he was too young and scared to tell her - but when I peeped over and saw that whoever TOOK the pictures cut off the kids head in every one -I was quick to tell her she was yelling at the wrong person. I actually had to explain to her that Walgreen's can only develop what get's captured within the frame.... classic
Sometimes rude and dumb go hand in hand!!!
Just be sure to recognize the good salespeople this season!!! It's like that commercial where somebody does a nice thing - someone else sees that and does something nice and it comes full circle.. I LOVE that commercial!!!!!!
