fun with sales lady

[veronica]

well i've learned a great deal from my sisters (my family) just by reading and listening. i went into a local payless shoe store yesterday and bought a nice pair of brown pumps. i was in drab, and the only other customers were a group of teenage girls not too far from the register. when i went to pay the "older" sales lady smiled ande asked me in a very loud voice "will you be needing any pantyhose to go with your purchase today sir"?

taking your advice and not letting her shake me i replyed in an equally loud voice " no thanks , i went to victorias secret before stopping here ".

as i was walking out the door and passing the four young ladies, the clerk announced "those will look real cute on you"

i slightly turned and answered "well i certinly hope so"



so i went back this morning in hopes she would be ther (she was) she stammerd and asked "can i help you"? I simply said "yes, you were right yesterday, those pumps were cute on me" i bought a blue pair and left :love: :love: ;) :-

Good for you. Nothing wrong with letting others know your comfortable with yourself. I guess she knows now that not all of us will put up with that abuse.

Well done. :)

Having a wife and daughter in the retail industry, I would bet it is the standard pitch they have to memorize and use with every sale. The markup on accessories is 5 times more than on the main product, and stores insist on getting every multi item sale they can....some even keep track and award "bonuses" for the highest % in the district.

Well done Veronica.

Now that's what I call confidence.

EMILY ANN ,

i'm sure you are quite correct that it is policy. i would also guess i heard her much louder than she accutally spoke. tried to keep it polite




PRISCILLA ,

they were mostly your words i've read over and over about not being ashamed or self concious

Great comeback, wish I could think that fast on my feet. or, ah, on my heels hee hee.

That's telling them. You're not on this earth to take their mess. And I just loved that quick thinking!

Way to go girl. Very cool. I hope to be able to do that someday. But it will not be with shoes as I wear a 14 EEE and finding something to fit is near impossible, even on line.

I was buying pantyhose at Walgreens once and the girl asked if they were for me. I looked her straight in the eye and said yes. I'm not gonna let some minimum wage clerk bother me.

It's been a long time since a salesperson has given me anything more than the SOP sales line, but at lunch I bought a floor length cocktail dress in sparkly mauve with spaghetti straps. When I laid it on the counter she held it up to herself before folding it and said "This is really your color" I just replied "Really? I thought green was" and laughed. She laughed too. When she handed me the bag she said " One look at this tonight and your wife will make it a night to remember." I just said "You may be right."

I've always thought laughter covers a multitude of poor remarks.

(And she was right....if my wife sees this it will be a night(mare) to remember alright!)
