You know I work in customer service so you think I would be over this....yeah right.
My husband and I love to walk around the mall and through different stores. Unless it's Christmas, birthday or any other gift giving holiday, we are not looking for anything in particular. And even if I was, I'm still going to mosey the the store to see what else I can find. But then....they come out...
"Hello! Can I help you find anything today?"
"You doing alright today?"
"Are you looking for anything in particular?"
"Would you like to try out new _____?"
"You that item you're standing by is on sale and ________?"
"Still doing alright today"
Gaw just shut up already! I always end up answering the first question with "Fine. We're just looking today." hoping that would get them away from me. I was approached by four people at a perfume counter after I said I was just looking. One lady showed a very smelly perfume in my face and asked me if I wanted to try it. When I glared at her and screamed NO for the final time I walked away. Looks like no one got their sales today...
When I walk into a local Bath and Body Works (which I love) I had three ladies ask me if I wanted to try the same new fragrance. I am very picky about my scents, so don't push your stinky flower blossom scented lotion on me. And no I don't want a bag and no I don't want a coupon for buy 10 get one free.
My husband rolls his eyes at me because he says they are just doing their job. I would hate to have a job doing that all day, because I would just wait for the one customer like myself to blow up and punch me in the face.
My biggest pet peeve about customer service is that I do not want to ask for help. If I know the store has what I am looking for, I will take a few minutes and look for it. My husband immediately goes to a sales associate, which drives me nuts, because then they follow you to the product and try to convince you to buy the one next to it or buy all the fancy extras I don't need. Maybe I have too much pride to ask. Maybe I'm just too independent to ask. Maybe I just know I can find it faster than the dumbass that was hired to work there. Maybe I don't want to follow the store clerk around looking for it when I know it is two aisles over. Sheesh.
When walk into a store I just want to see what you you guys may have and get what I need. If I need your damn help, trust me, I'll break down and ask. Eventually.
