in and out
May. 20th, 2011 10:47 amBathing suit shopping. Hate it. Went to Lane Bryant and picked up their most expensive ones that promised to make me look like I lost 10 lbs. Would have paid double if it made me look like I lost 50. Turns out it was 30% of.. not 30% less of me, but cheaper is better! Second suit fit great, thank goodness. Done, in and out in 15 minutes. Now off to baby tot and splash class.
My post earlier, I forgot to write my point, which was that I've worked in retail so many times and a little bit of kindness and sympathy go a long way, even if there is nothing you can do for the person. Being apologetic or at least sympathetic can make the person feel so much better. Hell, even just being polite is easier on a frazzled customer than barking at them rudely.
I also didn't add that when I hung up I yelled the f word about 5 times in frustration. :(
