You know there is one thing I utterly loathe about shopping sometimes. Snotty, ill-mannered, bitches of sales assistants. I can’t stand them. The amount of times I have walked out of a shop because I have been treated beyond poorly by a sales assistant is just unjustifiably phenomenal. Like yesterday I went to Boxhill Shopping Centre in search of an anime store and while on the lookout for the store I poked my head into a few Asian run clothing stores just to have a look at what they had to offer and I came across one store that took my fancy. Admittedly the clothing wasn’t terrible but they were severely over-priced but I spotted a pair of shoes that I had been trying to chase down for a while now but every time the store didn’t have my size. So I picked up the shoe and carried it over to the sales assistant who was busy on the phone jabbering away in Cantonese to her invisible friend on the other end of the line. I stood there for a good fifteen minutes waiting for her to acknowledge me. Then another girl and her boyfriend came in and the sales assistant immediately gets off the phone and walks over to help her... Dude that’s just so uncool.... So I just put the shoe down and walked out. She just lost $100 in sales that day because she was being a bitch.
Other places that have made their way on to my blacklist are:
Rosemin (Chapel Street Store)
Versace (Used to be in Crown)
Gasp Jeans
Most Asian clothing stores
Gasp Jeans has a notorious reputation for employing the worst sales assistants. They’re all overly pushy and if they think you don’t have the money they will kick you out. I was once got told by one of the sales staff, indirectly of course, that I was basically too fat to fit into the dress I was going to try on. Ironically I worked there for a month, out of pure desperation of course but at least I wasn’t a bitch and they fired me for no apparent reason anyways. Asian clothing stores are the other I have problems with. Despite sometimes having the better selection of clothes and they usually fit me for a change, sometimes I just want to smack the sales assistants in the face with a snow shovel. They are just so rude I can’t stand them, and they think I can’t understand them while they mutter away in Chinese right in front of me. Well I’ve got news for you kids... I’m actually Chinese believe it or not.... if my face doesn’t give it away then I don’t know what does. So yes I do understand you when you’re talking amongst yourselves. And telling me that it’s just retail and I should just accept is not going to fly either. I work in retail too, and have so for a good 3 years now and yes I’m tough if you try to fuck around with me but I can safely say I am not a bitch and I work in one of the most demanding retail positions out there so there is plenty of potential for me to be one.
Well there’s my rant for the week. Don’t mind me... I’m just sleep-deprived and grumpy.
