Life of a Retail Whore

I hate people. I don't understand how people can be so damn rude to others when they are working. I don't go to their job and become insta-ass when I walk through the door. The sad part is, it's usually the little old ladies that are the worst! I really want to get on the intercom at work and yell "Shady Pines MA Shady Pines."

Days like today are when I wish I had camera crews following me around ala Anna Nicole. It was one of those typical days where I feel like my life is a reality show that I didn't sign up for, a show akin to the Truman Show, but more entertaining. First off, this elderly woman yelled at me because I was kindly explaining to her the finer points of the Bed Bath and Beyond registry print out. Apparently the fossil thought I was being condescending. Really. Me. Condescending? Never! Well at least not at work. I mean it's not hard to understand it. If it says See Associate... we have to freakin order it! Yes we deliver it to them, but we can deliver it to you. Yes it takes about a week. Yes we have presentation cards that we can give you so that they know something is coming. Don't yell at me because I informed you of all this, you walked around our store looking for something that WAS NEVER THERE. I told you it wouldn't be.

It seems like most of my dramatics today revolved around the bridal registry. When we pull up a registry, it pulls up names nationwide. So when we ask people "Do you know the date of the event?" we are doing it because there are like 20 Rachel Adams in the system. We want to make sure that you are getting the right list. Also, please know the damn spelling of the name of the person you are trying to buy for. It helps.. Trust me.... This one woman and her husband called me an idiot today because THEY didn't know the girl or the guy's last name. "Her name is Amanda... Can't you find an Amanda?" "Yes ma'am, I can find an Amanda... There are about 18 pages of Amanda's in here. If you can give me a last name, a date, or a state, I can narrow it down." "Well if I knew that information, I would tell you. Just find her registry!" "Well ma'am with the information you have given me, I will be unable to pull up the registry you are looking for." *turns and looks at her husband* "They really should hire people that aren't such idiots." Bitch about got slapped with some Kinoki TM Foot pads.

Ok. So now I'm going to leave this post with a song that I have fallen more in love with over the past month. I don't know why, but the words are making more and more sense... I think I'm doing one of those things I hate. I'm relating this song with someone already. But, it's OK. He's good. Later Folks... Save the Ta Ta's Save the Prostates and Save Yourself
