Adventures in Retail....

So I went to work yesterday after having a wisdom tooth pulled.
I had to work in the fitting room.
I explained to the manager that it was kinda difficult to actually open my swollen mouth and speak to people (which is a lot of what you do in customer service jobs, right?)
This woman said, "Aw, [in that fake-sincere-sucks-to-be-you-but-i-dont-really-give-a-shit-and-wasnt-really-listening tone] well, just try to smile a lot and get through it."

W...T....F.... I mean, i didnt need her to say "OMG! go home now, you poor child!" but what she did say was bemusing.

MISCELLANEOUS
- Explain to me ppl who get irritated when a sales lady says hello. When I say, "Hi, how are you?" yall ack like I just called yo mama out her name...since when did "Hello" become fighting words??

- and i cant stand yall triflin ppl who throw clothes anywhere in the store BUT where you got them from... gon stick sum blue shoes and swim suits from the back of the store in the front with the T-shirts. And mix jewelry from the left in with dress shirts on the right. And put yellow mess over here in this section clearly reserved for purples only. If the store closes at 9 and I get home at midnight, its because of your triflin asses!

This posting was too funny Miss D. But I can feel you on that. Some people just have no respect for those who are sent to help them. Hang in there. You never know you might right about your experiences and get on Ophrahs book club. People are always looking for someone to tell it like it is with customers. It could happen.
