Belittling salesclerks part 2

Tweet

Earlier on, I started a discussion "have you often felt being belittled by salesclerks" Allow me to share an experience where I tried to get back at a salesclerk for treating me so coldly. Well, one time I entered a record store because I needed to buy a CD album. It's like a container with transparent/translucent pockets where you place the CDs. I was wearing a shirt and pair of shorts, and slippers because I also didn't feel the need to really dress for the place. So I approached this lady who was talking to a fellow saleslady and asked where the CD albums were. She just practically pointed with her snout a glass case which was locked! Definitely, I needed assistance for that which she didn't really provide right away. I felt stupid standing infront of that glasscase without someone to assist me with. I gathered my guts to call her and inform her that it was locked. That's how she flashed me that "you're such a disturbance to my conversation with my fellow saleslady" look. I just kept my poise, if any. :-D Then I started selecting, pointed to one CD album, and she took it out. Then I found there was no price tag! I asked her how much it was. She again gave me that semi-smirking face. I still just kept my poise. She just answered me, "There's no price tag." Period! That's when my horns started growing out of my forehead. SO this is what I did: I kept choosing, pointing from one Cd album to the next, letting her take practically everything in it out for me to see. I let her search each and every CD album's price tag, and I complained at every single bit of defect. When the CD albums have formed a mound on top of the glasscase, I pushed them all far from me and said: "Thanks, I think I'll go see somewhere else." And flashed her my semi-smirking face. I loved her bewildered look! And my how I loved the feeling after that! You think I was really rude at her? I mean, she could have been tired from all the day's work that's why she acted that way. BUt then again, I just totally lost my composure and my manners, so what happened, happened! Thanks for reading. Whew!
