How would you recommend I wash my Flathead shirt after I puked all over it? I was looking at the tag and couldn't quite figure it out. Does it say do not dry clean?

^Don't wash it. Puke makes sick fades.

Your shirt will look ill as hell.

Puke fades are straight-up next level. It's up to you to decide how badly you want those fades.

That shirt will not fade regardless of washing, but puke is a gay guy repellent so I would recommend leaving or the gays will soon flock.

Real talk right now.

I went to Self Edge with my cousin and friends a few weeks ago and received some rather poor service (again). We were rummaging through the rack of jeans when the worker asked "Can I help you?" I said to him "Yeah. We need a size 27..." and before I could even tell him what pair of jeans, he interrupts and says "Okay well give me two seconds I'm helping out this other customer." Why even bother asking if we need help then, really? Oh, and it took him longer than two seconds to help us. We had enough time to leave and smoke a cig, come back and still wait so maybe more like 10 minutes haha.

Seriously Kiya, you're a cool guy having met you once on a random visit (like a month before the SEXFH05 dropped), but I don't know about some of the workers you hire.

I'm really sorry you had an experience like this.. Not sure what to say. We pride ourselves on the best customer service you can imagine at a boutique our size, hopefully next time you come in i'll be there myself to help you. We've had the same two people working at the store since we opened 2.5 years ago, and they've been amazing in every aspect, a store owner couldn't ask for more from employees working in a retail environment..

You have to realize that the salesperson asked "Can I help you?" to show that they acknowledged your presence. The fact that you left the store is misleading (they could have helped a 3rd person while you were away). We also have no idea how busy the store was at this time.

But, regardless, Self Edge is a small independent retailer (which apparently has 2 employees + Kiya, if I am implying correctly from Kiya's post above mine). Chill and accept the realities of a small business...I'm sure there's more than enough cool stuff inside Self Edge to keep you busy

??? What's wong with anything??? The fact that they come and address you even though they are helping other customer is really treating you with importance.... guess you can't please everyone....

He was probably just avoiding you because you smelled like puke.

Seriously though, that is the lamest complaint I have ever heard. You are pissed off because the SA in a busy store took the time to acknowledge you even though he was still working with someone else? How is that poor service? Would you have preferred if he ignored you until he was free? Then you would be bitching about how you were in the store ten minutes before someone acknowledged you. Ugh.

This is real talk. Just be glad he even acknowledged you. And look, you even made poor kiya say sorry... for shame

There was a couple ahead of us. One was standing outside while the other was trying on a pair of jeans.

You're missing our gripe here. Neglect the waiting time because that wasn't so much a problem as it was amusing (honestly I was content to try more clothes upstairs). It was the interruption that bothered us the most.

Guy: Hey, can I help you?
Us: You sure can. Can we get a size 27...
Guy: Sike. I can't help you.

Crude way of putting it, but that's what it felt like. Come on, this isn't the lamest complaint ever lol.

You're absolutely right; clearly, they should have thrown you out of the store until they were good and ready to attend to your every need. And had you attempted to break into their conversation with the other customer, the SelfEdge employee would have been perfectly within his rights to have you shot. People like you are the reason why I could never work in a retail environment.
