Sales Rant: Part Two

Life Lesson #48: Somethings you just have to buy in a store, salesmen or no.

I was unable to avoid all salesmen by shopping online, because I had to shop for a dress. One of those big fluffy white ones, that usually doesn't come with sleeves, but I really needed mine to have sleeves and that tiny amount of fabric and beads will probably cost an addition $200, ya know? However, I was surprised that I only hated one of the three salesmen and even liked one of them.
If any salesmen were weird enough to read my blog, they might feel I've been unfair to their profession. So here is my list of sales DOs and DON'Ts so they can at least feel they are receiving constructive feedback.

DO fetch me whatever I ask for as quickly as possible.

DON'T hand me something I didn't ask for or anything I didn't pick out myself.

DO keep my dressing room tidy and remove all undesirable items.

DON'T ask me "what do you like about this one?" because I have no idea. I probably like that it is pretty. Or that it fits. Or that it functions as an article of decorative clothing. I have nothing insightful or useful to say to you.

DO stay out of my way and refrain from throwing in your two cents worth, that is about how much your unsolicited advice means to me.

DON'T under ANY circumstances put ANYTHING on my head. I cannot stress how important this one is. If I wanted to try on a veil, I'd grab a veil. If I wanted a tacky bedazzled hair clip in my hair, I'd already be wearing one. If I wanted your hands on my hair, I would hand you a comb and ask you to start braiding. I did NOT ask for the veil, I did NOT ask for you to invade my personal bubble, and I do NOT like strangers touching my hair!

That about sums it up! If you wanted real news, too bad.
