I'm not proud of what I did, but I did it today for the first time.
I'll preface by saying though that this woman was possibly the most aggravating person I've ever come across. I'm sure we have all have come across a member of her species at least once in high-end departmental stores:
1. the 40-50 year old woman
2. who dresses is head-to-toe in black
3. has her grey hair cut really short
4. wears really funky glasses
5. has a serious Anna Wintour vibe going on
So there I am, trying on 2 pairs of $550 dollar shoes, and she has the gall to stand right in front of me (literally inches) as I try them on, arms crossed, lips pursed, and then... drops a snarky comment!!
I stopped, untied the laces, took the shoes off, looked up to her and said loudly: "Madam, as a salesperson, you should be trying to make a sale. I recommend you talk soon to someone who knows how to."
Then I walked out.
Anyone else done anything similar?
