      I agree with everyone else, that you should have just told them to go back to New York. Better yet, if your store was a chain or franchise and had a location in NY, then call THEIR office and ask the saleslady there if potential customers are allowed to try on earrings? She wants the truth, let the customer hear the conversation so she can hear the NY salesperson say, "NO!!!!!"

        Sooo... This made me wonder how she tries earrings that she buys online.

        Print the picture and glue them on her ears to see what they look like?

        Oh, wait that's not a bad idea!

        Ah, yes the 'Leaf Peepers.' Does the driving on the roads still get worse this time of year?

          I live in New York. And no you can NOT try on earrings here either. Nor can you return body jewelry as far as I am aware. Health code says no. Which takes this SC up to 'lying moron'.

                Yep, my first reaction too!

                Or, to paraphrase a famous misquote, "I don't think you're in New York anymore ...." (You can throw in "Toto" at the end or leave it off.

                  "In New York, they let you try them on."

                  Proper response: "Welcome to Vermont."

                  I'm not sure I would have been able to keep myself from snapping at them as long as the OP did.

                    If Ace of Diamonds were still around this page, he could tell us for sure.

                    However, I suspect that it's in the health code nationwide that you cannot try on earrings.

                          When/if I get my own store/pub/whatever, it will have a giant hole to kick people down. It just seems necessary.

                          I could hear them falling too.

                            .... WTF?!

                            I live in NY and I've NEVER heard of that. One of my best customers is a jeweler, and I'd be willing to bet she doesn't let anyone try on earrings.

                            That's a serious health hazard!
                            Very much this. I grew up in New York, and I've never seen anyone allowed to try earrings on in the store.

                              My mall sits on an old empty aquifer / former swamp land. We get sinkholes forming regularly; last one was about 25-feet deep. Bring your SCs here, we still have room for more bodies!

                                My entire county (along with most of SW PA) sits atop old empty coal mines. Why don't we just drop SCs down there? Of course, the worst SCs would soon find themselves in the mine under Centralia...which is host to a mine fire that's been burning some 45 years now. Hell on (actually under) Earth, if you will
