  • I will just sit here, go do my shopping for me!

    I finally got an order for a dress that made me a little bit of a profit, so I decided to stupidly head over to toys r us after my husband got home while the kids were asleep to take advantage of their sales since a couple of things on sale for a great price were stuff my kids have been going insane over every time they see it on TV. Namely the Little Miss Muffin doll for my daughter and the Candy maker thing that makes all those gross things like brains and zombie barf for my sons to share, lol. So now they have their big things they wanted and will be happy So yes, idiot me is at Toys r us shopping at 2 in the morning. You would think there would not be that many people but traffic was still bumper to bumper And SC's were out full force. One woman (I can't bear to call her a lady) really made an impression on everyone.

    I was over looking at the Princess and me dolls, they are 60.00 but for the sale you got 3 of the outfits and the tea set for free, which is an extra 70.00 worth of stuff. I was just eyeballing it wishing I could afford the Ariel for my little redhead that loves any doll with red hair like her, when a woman came up and saw me holding the last Ariel in my hands. She very loudly and rudely said "hey are you gonna get that or just sit and stare at it?" I wish now I would have thrown it in the buggy and just hid it somewhere in the store, lol, but I handed it to her and said I was just looking at it. She then picked out one outfit and started to walk off. And nice little old me said, hey did you know you get 3 free outfits and the tea set if you buy the doll? She said no and yelled at an employee that was 2 aisles away to come over there. She asked him if that was true and he said yes. She said she didn't believe it and for him to go get her a sales paper. He went all the way to the front of the store and got her one and showed her. She finally seemed satisfied with that. Then she did something that made me, the employee and several people around us go like

    She told him to wait a minute and sat and checked things off the sales paper and handed it to him and told him to go get all those things for her, and she would sit there and wait on him. That he knew where everything was so it would be quicker and easier then her having to go find it all and have to ask for help. He looked kind of helpless and then walked off with the paper so I am assuming he did it! Her friend was like, wow, did you really just do that? and she laughed and said that she was not fighting the crowd to get that stuff and that was his job so he could do it. I was just shaking my head at the entitlement.

    Talk about an EW. Not only did you hand her the last Ariel, you told her about a really good sale. Does she thank you? Of course not - it's your duty to bow down to the queen.

    I've acted as a sort of personal shopper for a few customers, but that's because I had nothing better to do (every time I was asked for shopping help the store was absolutely dead, so it didn't bother me). Thankfully I haven't had a complete EW, and the people were very thankful for my help. I had one guy in and out of the store in under 10 minutes, and he was very happy to have all of his shopping done without any hassle.

    ...I wish our company allowed us to get tips. I could have made a lot of extra money from that. Dx

      She's not an EW. She's a pile of shit with a pulse and a purse.

          Yeah. Like that.

          peagentmama, I'm glad you were finally able to bring in some cash. Hope you were able to find something nice

              Customer service doesn't mean trying to force a retail worker to do your shopping for you.

                holy fuck what a bitch.

                i stopped in at TRU to buy a couple of items for last minute TOT drop off (would have done it earlier but just got paid yesterday). the workers looked tired. i asked one if she knew a price on something and she directed me to a price checker and apologized for not knowing.

                i smiled at her and said it was fine and that i understood.
                she looked at me weirdly... i think either she was thinking "how the hell can you understand what i'm going through" or the fact i was being polite just shocked her.

                either way i hope she gets rest soon.

                  God, that woman was a total b*tch! Holy crap.

                  If I were that employee, I'd have disappeared for a while, just gone and f***ed off somewhere for a good long while, then if the EW didn't leave on her own I'd tell her sorry all those items were sold out.

                    I would have just looked at her and said "I'm trying to see this from your point of view, but I can't get my head that far up my ass."

                      I had the same reaction when the Golgothan actually comes OUT of the toilet in Dogma.

                        I would have walked away with it... and thrown it out.

                            My mum has asked employees to get things for her once or twice, but only because she has a crumbling hip & only half a functioning diaphragm so she has trouble walking long distances in large shops. She will politely ask an employee if he's willing to find various items off a list, then thank them & go queue to pay once the items have been brought to her. Usually it's when she's Christmas shopping, & in a shop like the local HMV, which is very large & built into a hill so there are steps half-way along the shop floor to get up to a level that's about 4 feet higher than the front of the shop.
