I was fortunate to shop at this lovely store with some friends. The owner, Rick? Was very courteous and friendly. I came in with a Starbucks coffee and he asked politely if I could keep my coffee away from the clothing and set it on a table or counter, which I did. I completely understand he did not want me to spill my coffee on the clothing in his store.
The other clerk was not so nice. I had 2 pieces of clothing in my hand and was looking for a change room, she looked directly at me but did not help me in my way. I had to ask Rick for a change room.
After I purchased an item of clothing and we were leaving the store, I asked the female clerk if she could throw my coffee cup in the garbage, as I was done it . I thought there would be a garbage behind the till where she was standing. She said "sure" and took my cup. She then changed her mind and said, "actually there is one outside on the street and you can put it in there," and handed my cup back to me.
I was completely taken aback by her rudeness and disregard for common courtesy. I am not sure what her prejudgement was? My Starbucks coffee cup? The non-religious symbol on the new red Christmas cups? Me? A paying customer out with some friends?
I did discard my cup in the garbage on the street. Which was the right thing to do.
I will not shop at this store again, in case this clerk is working. Rick, you have a lovely store, I cannot say the same about the salesperson working this Fri evening, Nov 13th. read more
