Riverfront Headmistress Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 I took my three girls (and myself) clothes shopping last night. After I had selected 12 articles to try on I asked the young man working at the store for a fitting room. He looked at my clothes and asked, "Are you planning on buying any of them or will I just have to hang them all back up?" Sarcastically I replied, "Would you like to see my bank account before I try them on?" He snickered and said no. Now keep in mind, he still has not made any steps to unlock the dressing room. Then, he continues, "There is a maximum of six items in the fitting room and if you're not going by any then I don't want to have to rehang the clothes; they all have to be put back out on the racks a certain way and it makes me job hard." <insert fumes from me> At that point, I was done in the store. My children had already picked out 10 items to buy, and I was about to add to that number (if I liked anything I tried on). We had a nice-size pile at the register. I told the young man that his tone and comments were rude and uncalled for. He just shot himself in the foot because we were four customers shopping. I put all my things down and told the girls it was time to go. :auto: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are many, many people who'd be happy to have his job, I'm sure. He obviously doesn't need it. Whew. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoyfulMama Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 I agree with TN Mama - I'd make a polite phonecall to the manager today as well. So much for customer service with a smile. :glare: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pretty in Pink Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 Good for you! I was thinking that I would have calmly set my pile of items down on the nearest chair/desk/floor and said, "Okay, buddy. Have it your way." A call to management is in order. What a twit that guy was! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris in VA Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 There's no excuse for poor manners. Sounds like his job is just one he picked up for the holidays, thinking it'd be easy money. Too bad he's not very good at it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truscifi Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 I would also call the store manager. That type of attitude from an employee can run off regular customers fast, and economic times are hard enough already. The manager should have an opportunity to rectify the situation before the store loses all its business! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JudoMom Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 Good for you! I was thinking that I would have calmly set my pile of items down on the nearest chair/desk/floor and said, "Okay, buddy. Have it your way." A call to management is in order. What a twit that guy was! Although I would've been tempted to remove every item from it's hanger or unfolded it, set the pile down calmly, and then walked off. I agree with calling.

Tammyla Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 I'd call too, the manager or even corporate if they have one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 Although I would've been tempted to remove every item from it's hanger or unfolded it, set the pile down calmly, and then walked off. I agree with calling. Yes, this. THEN I would have asked him to find his manager for me. Right then. A call is certainly in order. This young man was not trained properly at all.

ChristusG Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 Ummm.....Wow. I don't think I would have known what to say. Definitely call the stores manager and tell them exactly how you were treated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melissel Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 I'd call too, the manager or even corporate if they have one. Yes to both of these. Holy moly, what a story! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tam101 Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 I would have told him that I would be happy to tell the store manger how much he hates his job if he would be kind enough to go locate him/her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
