My cell phone company recently was either bought out or sold out to that other wireless company that owns the “geeky” looking guy with the grey jacket and oversized glasses. Personally I don’t like ‘em and want nothing to do with them. In order to change carriers I need to opt out of my present contract or pay big bucks early termination fee.
Put on my clothes this morning, “proper” under things ( panties, bra, stockings) size 8 jeans from Fashion Bug, black turtle neck jersey shirt topped off with a nice pumpkin colored “big shirt” from Woman Within. Sneakers from Payless, hair in pony tail and a light wipe of lippy. Finger nails have a light pink hue on my acrylic overlays. Put on my jacket, also from F.B. slid on my tan Totes gloves slung my bag over my shoulder and headed off to the cell phone store.
Got there just as they opened.
“How can I help you today?” says the Neanderthal behind the desk.
“ Got a big problem…” and I proceed to explain my case about opting out due to a change in the initial contract, ( meaning now being bought out and having to get a new set of compatible phones, which they’re giving away)
No screaming or shouting on my part, simply stating my case in no uncertain terms, and letting it be fully understood that I wasn’t going to waiver in my thought process.
Didn’t think about what I was wearing, just looked him square in the eye and spoke my piece. Got my way and come next month I’m out from under any contract with zero cost to me.
Lesson here:
If you have to “deal” with some people , don’t worry about what you’re wearing. Be firm and to the point.
Clothes don’t make the person, ATTITUDE is what carries the day.
celebrated my victory with a pair of mcmuffins as a late breakfast, now I'll need a pair of size 10 jeans
