I was at a clothing store recently down Spring Garden at the mall. We’ll call the store “fake”. Anyway, a couple of girls that worked there were really snobby and not so nice and welcoming when I walked in. I could see them looking me up and down and whispering. I have no idea why they did this, maybe because they thought they were better than me? I’m not sure, but whatever the case is, you ladies need to get over yourselves. You are not as hot as you think you are. You are snobby and childish. I won’t be going back there! —JaylynnD

OP, there are plenty of other stores in HRM (and lots more online) to spend your money with. Such staff attitude is not limited to that particular “fake” store on Spring Garden Road. Quite a few also have similar-acting staff.
I had that exact same experience in one of the shops on SGR about a year ago. All of the ladies working there kept giving me the once-over and following me around and watching my every move. It was ridiculous.
That’s when you pull out a wad of hundreds and say “I guess there’s no commission for you”.
Last year I went to Walmart to pick out a Christmas tree and all of a sudden 2 store staff came over and stood on either side of me the whole time I was there.
Why the fuck do you care what a couple of shop girls think about you? Ignore them like every other adult and carry on with your shopping.
It’s annoying, Pav. Mind you, I don’t give two shits what others think about me when I go shopping. I’m guessing these little hoes thought OP and her friend weren’t dressed well enough to be in that store. Or wasn’t skinny enough. Or whatever. It’s funny though because no one I know dresses to the nines to go shopping. You’re lucky if I’m not wearing my lulus and an old hoodie.
Anyway, fuck those bitches and their overpriced crap.
Guess what, sales clerks at expensive stores on Spring Garden Road? You’re sales clerks. Based on what people are wearing (I’ve tested this theory – it’s you’re clothes) you sneer at people you figure can’t afford to be in the store and you can’t afford to shop there yourself! Because you’re sales clerks. So what exactly are you basing your superiority on? You need to study up on the caste system. I’m afraid you’re at the bottom with the rest of us riffraff. Hate to tell ya.
Wow, so you let a couple of idiot strangers affect the way you feel? Dammmmn get a spine.
I went to buy a pair of boots last week on SGR and the 2 stores I went to – neither of the available salesman asked me if I needed any help. I didn’t take it personal though – I just thought they were shitty at their jobs! & took my money elsewhere.
these days .bout 80% of woman aren’t as hot as they think the are
i agree with snubiz ’cause she’s got a kitty kat! hey west coast dude^^

Don’t be intimidated by a bunch of minimum wage snobs.
I know why we have’nt heard from Marty recently. he and Newt have been carrying on a torrid face-book affair and denying us the vicarious pleasure of listening in. Bastids >: (
haha, how’s the holiday commander?
I’ve had the same problem at Da Squared on SGR. Its funny, I don’t run into this problem at places like the Hugo Boss store, Holt Renfrew, or Ogilvy’s in Montreal. Guess that explains why I spend my money where I do. But on a positive note, I’ve gotten good service at Twisted Muse/Sweet Pea and John David Shoes in Park Lane, so it isn’t all bad around here.
Going pretty good so far Painey. Readin’ & snoozin’. No bigger plans beyond that.
sounds great. i just bought a giant bag of flour in anticipation of my baking blitz. i won’t be making these http://brainspl.at/chef.jpg
Up until quite recently, I had cared about how store clerks treated me. Often they would look at me funny because, let’s face it, who wouldn’t look funny at a garden gnome raccoon in a clothing store? But I stopped caring. If I don’t like the store or the store clerk, I can get my stuff elsewhere.
Ivan, you’d be surprised how tame our conversations are and how non-frequently they happen on facebook. We talk about weather and work and things. Sorry to disappoint. 🙂
Paingirl’s Salty Chocolate Balls just doesn’t sound right. Newt – is that your way of saying you’ll save the juicy stuff for us? Say no more, squire. Say No More.
