As apart of my personal goal of bringing us out of this “recession”, it’d be nicer if the sales clerks and possibly their bosses would just be a little more un-pushy, just a little more understanding and give a little more space.
Take for example, earlier today. I was purchasing a shirt and the sales lady “helped” me by grabbing like three more shirts she thought would look good on me. Then as I was trying them on, at one point she opens the curtain open and checks on me. Then she kept making remarks as to how cute I was with my glasses. The shirt looked good so I purchased it.
Then I was buying some DVD’s at a local retailer here in town and I was thinking of putting one back. However, this sales clerk happened to be a fan of the director of the film I was putting back and I thought she was going to tell me to put it back but instead she admonished me and really pushed the film. Finally I relented, it was the one I came in for originally and it’s been on my list of films to see for quite some time. I found two other items I had also had on my list so I grabbed those while I had a chance.
So the statement is, relax, chill out. Besides it wasn’t a bad day, the first girl at the store where I bought the shirt was pretty cute. Shoulda asked her out…
