So, here's the thing....
Before I finished school I worked retail scene like my forefathers before me, and schlepping around a store, catering to people who acted superior really got to me, so, I make sure that whenever I'm shopping, wherever it might be, how ever much it might cost I try to treat the sales staff with respect. Whats even worse is when sales people of high end stores act somehow superior, which was the case while I was shopping for a very specific pair of shoes at Stuart Weitzman in the Perimeter Mall.
I had scoured the interweb, hit various retailers known to carry SW in search of a pair of high heeled sandals, I was having a hard time finding a nude pair in a size 10. Whilst shopping at the Perimeter Mall, I passed the store, looked in the window and nearly fainted, the shoe I was looking for was displayed beautifully in a small nook in the corner of the store. I walked in, there were no other shoppers in the store, still, the two sales women did not greet me, I walked over to the stunning sandal, picked it up, hugged it, looked towards the women, both were avoiding my glance, I took the shoe, walked over to the register area and asked for it in a size 10.
The woman took the shoe and disappeared into the back, I waited patiently for her to return with my sandals. She did so 10 minutes later. Now, I'm fairly patient, and being that I had nowhere to go I didn't mind waiting, however I'd like to point out that SW is a boutique style store, there cant be more than 2o-25 styles on the sales floor and I couldn't imagine the stock room being so unorganized that it takes over 10 minutes to find the shoe I was looking for......but I digress tried the shoes on, fell in love, and was ready to purchase, I placed the shoes back in the box and headed towards the register, the two women were talking to one another, and didn't even acknowledge that I was waiting. I stood there for a few more moments, waited, waited some more, still nothing.

Nothing, finally I spoke up, one of the girl sighed, the other rolled her eyes, and eventually I was rung up. I think I'll order my SW online from here on out. Thanks for the FANTASTIC customer service ladies. read more
