Yet Another: I dont work here!!!

[TealJellyfish]

*Recap/short version at the bottom*

This incident nearly turned into a screaming match in the middle of a store! Not cool!


I was wandering around a clothes store yesterday night looking at nothing in particular. I was dressed in my work clothes (Button up shirt, black jumper, black pants) Suddenly this lady walks up to me..

SC: Excuse me, Does anyone in this frigging store do any work? I have been waiting for someone to unlock the change room door for 10 minutes
Me: I have no idea.. sorry
SC: WELL UNLOCK IT FOR ME THEN JESUS!!!
Me: What? I don't work here!
SC: Yes you do! Don't be so damn lazy and unlock the damn change room door!
Me: I don't work here! So I cant unlock the DAMN Door!
SC: UNLOCK IT NOW!

At this point I start to walk off. I am not dressed like the staff at all! (They are all wearing the latest "fashions" and wearing name badges!

SC: WHERE DO YOU THINK YOU ARE GOING! UNLOCK THE DOOR
Me: I DO NOT BLOODY WELL WORK HERE SO I CAN"T UNLOCK THE DOOR FOR YOU! Go and find one of the actual staff!

A sales girl walks up and sizes up the situation...

SG: Excuse me, Can I help either of you with something!
SC: You can tell this lazy girl to do her job and unlock the change room for me!
SG:... Ma'am she doesn't work here! and *gets cut off*
SC: YES SHE DOES! God dammit ill go somewhere else since no one in the store can do their job! *throws clothes at sales girl and storms off*
SG: *snatches clothes out of air* Have a nice day Ma'am!
Me:..... Jesus what a loon... Anyway!... *turns to sales girl* Do you have this in a 10?
SG: Sure just this way! *Grabs the right size for me and walks to change room*
Me:*Looks at change room... which has a curtain not a door* WTF was that lady on about...
SG: She was trying to get into the store room before, When the other sales girl told her that she needed to use a change room she said "How would you know you don't work here!"
Me: *laughs hysterically*

Short Version

Lady insists I am staff > I insist I'm Not > Crazy Lady Insists I unlock change room for her > Actual staff tells her I don't work here > Crazy Lady storms off > Crazy Lady was trying to get into the Store Room rather than the Change Rooms Which have bright blue Curtains!> The End

Wow... just... wow...

[TealJellyfish]

Wow... just... wow...

Your telling me!

[ditchdj]

You know, this almost sounds like an episode on MTV's "Boiling Point". Too bad it didn't go on for 10 minutes and you ended up getting $100 dollars for putting up with her.

[saint]

that's a special kind of stupid...

[blas]

Ouch, my brain....

That show is genius. You couldn't do it down here, because there would be far too many ass kickings, but its' still genius.

I don't know what I'd do if I were on the receiving end of something like that. I'm just...just...wow.

[Samaliel]

I don't know for you, but to me, a changing room with an actual lock on the door is pretty uncommon. This would have raised questions in my mind.

[RecoveringKinkoid]

Locks are pretty common here. I dont' know that you can lock them from the inside, but they must be unlocked from the outside by the attendant to use. I guess its to prevent theft.

Lexi, have you been wearing some new fragrance lately? Something that brings out the psychotic in people?

[Velfarre2001]

I don't know which bothers me more, that this happened or that I am not one bit surprised......

Lexi, have you been wearing some new fragrance lately? Something that brings out the psychotic in people?

for some reason I just pictured the perfume lady at Nordstroms saying something like "may I interest you in our new line of perfume, the Odour de Crazy, guaranteed to bring out the crazy in everyone you meet... here just smell that and tell me if you can't see being the gem in every psychotics eye?"

(background note... a Nordstroms sales person actually did use that sales technique with my mother telling her that if she wore some perfume she'd be the gem in every man's eye... which was funny because at the time she was 150lbs overweight, didn't make up her hair or anything like that, and if I may be blunt she looked a bit like an old maid... granted if she were to go back today there may some validity to the sales person's pitch, she has lost 130lbs, has started wearing make-up and getting her hair done and has started taking pride in her appearance)

I always attract crazy people.. its really annoying! Guaranteed at least once a month some wacko will do something around me. Im a crazy person magnet!
