Shopping: Snooze, You Lose! My Vent of the Evening...

United States
August 24, 2016 1:41am CST
I went a little crazy in the shoe department today, and ended up purchasing 8 pairs of sandals! (Which I will be giving some to my mom too.) Anyway, on the vent: While shopping, THIS LADY pointed at me and went HEY! What size are you? I gave her a simple answer, 7.5. She then blurted, GOOD - because you have all the cute sandals in your hand. But the real answer is: I am a size 7.5 but I can also fit a size 7 and 8 also depending on the brand, style, selection and some brands/style only offers whole sizes. I grabbed sandals in size 7, 7.5, 8 that I tried on, but I didn't feel the need to have to tell or explain to her. I handed all my sandals to the employee to get the mates. Then the lady sees I handed some size 8 and goes, Oh she told me she's a size 7.5. Well, so? And she asks the employee if there are anymore? The employee goes No, what's out on the racks is all we have. Then the employee blurted, you snooze, you lose, which I think made the LADY even more upset. She was glaring at my sandals I was purchasing and said something along the lines of "well, she's going to give them to me". SORRY, but the sandals I found didn't magically appear right in front of my eyes, I had to search for them like they were hidden treasure - up/down the racks, behind other shoes and some were misplaced in the wrong size section! There were plenty of the same styles out on the racks but she didn't even look for them. Not my fault. My boyfriend and I just laughed and continued on shopping!

One reason why I try to do as much shopping as I can online. Can't stand the people.

Yeah! I won't give it up to her. She can go find them herself!

Ah yes! Though I have to go back because a pair I got is wrong. One pair was a 7, and the other a 8!

This is one reason why I wait till the crowds die down. I just don't need other customers fighting me for a bargain. I don't know why people go crazy in sales.
