There's nothing worse than walking into a store and being COMPLETELY ignored by the shop keeper.
This was my experience the other day when I paid a visit to The Perfume Shopped inside Sunridge Mall.
So I walked in, lugging a number of bags, which you'd think would make me look like a prime customer. I was the only CUSTOMER in the store but I think I know why. It was awkward.
The girl behind the till had 3 gentlemen surrounding her and they were in the middle of a flirt-a-thon. It was like I didn't even exist.
I get that it was Friday night and she clearly had game because it was a 1 girl : 3 boy ratio, but seriously... she was SUPPOSED to be working!
I think I actually stopped mid store and just stared. I was completely flabbergasted by the fact that I was being completely ignored. So I stood there for a couple minutes just watching the courting in action and I must have been staring a little too hard cause at one point the girl looked at me and just smiled. I felt like I had walked in on something so I did an about turn and headed straight for the exit.
I thought the customer was always right...but in this case, I was wrong to have assumed that I could have possibly gotten some service on a Friday night when work was OBVIOUSLY the furthest thing from the young girl's mind. read more
