After another long day working the retail trenches I went home, opened a bottle of wine (some days glasses are not necessary), and pondered why some customers are such ass holes. If this comment seems slightly harsh then you have clearly never worked in retail. There are many types of shoppers out there, but my least favorite are those who shop to feel better about themselves by crushing the hopes and dreams of sales associates (ok, well that might be a little dramatic, but you get the jist). Now don't get me wrong, excellent customer service is a must for all retail stores, but that does not mean associates are there to watch your children, or follow you around as if they are your pack mule. Perhaps it is time for Emily Post's basics of etiquette remix edition: if you do not pile designer clothes on your closet floor do not do it in a fitting room, if water or cappuccino is offered and you decline you do not deserve the right to demand a beverage later, and finally if you are greeted then you need to respond as not doing so is just plain rude and no one likes a stuck up bitch.
Today's Lesson: If you are not polite enough for face to face shopping, then you should only shop at places with a self-help check out lane.
