Ugh, I hate salespeople sometimes...I'm back from the mall...
First, the people at the kiosks who are so freaking aggressive. No dude, I don't want you to iron my hair, I already have a cellphone, it's pouring out, so I don't need your fugly sunglasses, and for gawd's sake I definitely don't want those huge puffy slippers (I will never wear anything called Fun Feet).

Then the saleswoman at Macy's. Just sell me the fucking Anne Klein scarf...I don't want your Macy's card, seriously. "Oh, do you want to get the special blah blah blah discount?...You're the FIRST person I've EEEEEVER seen who doesn't want to save MOOOOONEY!!!1!"

Jeebus f'n Christ. :mad:

That being said, the people at the Gap and Williams Sonoma were very pleasant.

And I'm gonna be the preppiest looking Econ major at Welcome Day tomorrow. Grey V-neck sleeveless sweater, White dress shirt, Khakis and loafers. Ha! :rofl:

:hi:

don't you have a couple piercings that are gonna knock that "preppiest looking" right on its ass?

I love it, though.

Can't believe you went to the mall.

I am, of course, a woman of principle. :D

But I will be wearing makeup (OMG!) and earrings. :)

I had to...I didn't think a Misfits hoodie and sweatpants was really the appropriate attire. :P

4. Pffft! Of course not! I resisted the Le Creuset until
I get to Home Goods or Tuesday Morning, but I did pick up a waiter's corkscrew, a jar of 10 bouquet garni satchels, and a jar of coffee spice rub for Sniffa. He likes to put that on roasts and such. :)

:hi:

6. I think businesses are feeling the recession.
Wouldn’t you just hate to have to work in one of those kiosks?

Looking conservative doesn’t mean you are conservative. Have a good time at Welcome Day!

7. Yeah, I was thinking about that as I walked past them...
I wasn't rude to them, it's just the aggressiveness that bugs me.

Hehe, true dat. And thanks!

18. Some sales people are weird
A few years ago, we ran into an odd salesgirl.

She worked at Burlington Coat Factory. I was in the dressing room trying on something. During which time, my husband talks to the salesgirl in the dressing room area. I came out and he said she just asked me if I thought she needed a boob job. He said that right in front of her. She did not look like she needed one.

Why ask customers about your plastic surgery plans? Like we care. She should keep personal stuff like that off the sales floor.
