I was reading the 'Stand up for yourself' thread and I applaud the OP, just passively taking disrespect doesn't help our cause at all, I get it!
That said though I remember one trip to LTS en drab (a while ago, I shop en tween these days 😊 ) and without all the details let's just say the SA made it clear she wasn't impressed with my choice of flats (black leather Steve Maddens, super cute with skinny jeans and nylons!)
Anyway, I seriously thought about making a formal complaint and would have gotten her in some nice hot water but instead I just smiled and took my purchase on my way (and anonymously slashed her tires in the parking lot 😊 )...Kidding!
To the point though, I realized that given the circumstances I'm not going to 'convert' this person and figuratively 'punching her in the face' would win the battle (oh boy, did I wanna win the battle) but when she flames out on Facebook she's likely to reach a lot of 'undecided' people and turn them to the dark side out of sheer anger.
I surrendered that hill knowing it'll make those down the road a little easier to win!
Kinda looking for your thoughts on how BEST to deal with 'hatfull' SAs.
